A colorful Black Lives Matter mural was defaced this week, with vandals attempting to obscure "Black" with red, white and blue paint.

The 140-foot mural is on the side of a building in downtown Spokane, Washington -- sponsored in part by Terrain, a local arts nonprofit. Terrain, along with digital advertising agencies 14Four and Seven2, hired 16 artists to decorate and paint each letter in Black Lives Matter, according to CNN affiliate KXLY.

Probably by a BLM member.

This is sad. Regardless of how you feel about violent leftists.

.

Sad. Because they only defaced one word.

Well as we encourage and reward racism and tribalism we will find we have a lot more racism and tribalism.

I don’t think the nortenos want to see black supremacy slogans on their walls. The yazuka don’t like the crips and the crips don’t like the bloods. The aryans oppose the sortenos who hate the mafia. What a way to organize a society.

blm “murals” are offensive. They are racist and a hate crime towards non-blacks. Remove them. Cancel them.

They need to send the FEC after BLM.
All of their donations are going to Biden.

(Wow. When I typed Biden on my phone, it auto-completed Biden-Bernie)

I don’t think I’ve ever even typed the word Bernie on my phone.

Destroyed statues vs “defaced” “murals“. BLM is still in the lead.

Spokane is not Seattle. Communist mobs are not appreciated nearly so much on the eastern side of the Cascades.

The whole thing is sad.

Sad that a potentially positive/peaceful reaction to a terrible incident has been hijacked by people who dont care about ANY lives, just tearing down the country.

One the peaceful protests were hijacked nightly for weeks on end it didn’t died us even more. Intentionally??? Quite likely.

That’s sad.

And in the meantime, with shootings spiraling, Mayor de Blah Blah puts more graffiti on New York City streets, this time in front of the courthouse in Queens.

Gasp, it was colorful and it was defaced.
Oh, the hugh manitees.

Those clowns deserve as much respect as they give.

So, none = none.

EFF you until the end of all multiverses, BLM. You care as much about black lives as Bubba Clinton cares about marriage.

Peaceful protest. No people were harmed and no structure was damaged.

Not sure why you're putting those words in quotes, since both of them are being used properly to describe what happened.
