The mural features on one side a white man shooting a Latino woman holding a child. On the other side it features a white man putting chains on a young Black man.

No, "white man shooting a Latino woman" is holding a gun alongside her head. That isn't "shooting".

No, "white man putting chains on a young Black man" is handcuffing him.

Spare me the hyperbole please.

I’m beginning to think you’re the designated FR troll-in-residence.

“Tiresome” is a word that comes to mind.

They’re chains, not handcuffs.

Uh, handcuffs are slim, stainless steel bracelets with a two- to four-inch stainless chain.

The image in the painting is of a thick, black cuff with a long chain. It LOOKS like a set of chains, and based upon the overall message of the painting I would have to say that even if the artist painted handcuffs they are certainly a metaphorical representation of a set of chains.

They’re symbols, but defined as what? He sat in front of it to send a message to whom?

The guy isn’t “shooting her” yet cuz the result would crap-up the rest of the pretty mural.

If those are just “handcuffs” then where’s the copper? Hell, I don’t even see a donut.
