Judicial Watch to D.C. mayor: Let us paint our slogan on street, too
World Net Daily ^ | 6/11/2020 | WND Staff

City officials in Washington, D.C., have joined the nationwide protest movement by authorizing the painting of politically charged slogans to be painted on streets.

Last week, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser granted permission to have "Black Lives Matter" painted on 16th Street N.W. Later she allowed "Defund the Police" to also be painted nearby.

Now, a government watchdog, arguing the mayor has made the streets a public forum, wants its own slogan on a street, "Because No One is Above the Law!"

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is a good slogan. Just saying.

Clever. Mayor allows a group to publish on public streets, barring someone else from doing it means she's censoring free speech.

But it'll get litigated in DC so we know the law won't matter in the end.

It looks like CRAP. The only way to make it fit in is to blow out the windows in all those buildings and cover the buildings with Graffiti. Oh, and toss in some tumble weeds.

They are doing everything in their power to demoralize the police into quitting.

What a glorious place DC would be with no police. It can all be as wonderful as Anacostia (P.S., if your ever in DC and you check a map and find out you are in Anacostia ... RUN!)

Taxpayers bought the paint.

Doesn't that shade of yellow look familiar? It's the same yellow used in 'no passing' zones. It's expensive stuff...

Aren't you thrilled - YOUR tax dollars at work

What you should focus on is the divits and potholes in that picture that Mayor Browser could not be bothered to fix.

That’s JW’s point and goal: get denied, then sue the city for the inequity. They’ll never get their message, but the city will either pay up for the discrimination or be forced to remove the other signs.

Yep, knew it on both counts - the color and we bought it. Evil doers.

She said it was all donated. Yea to the BLM movement.

How does she get to make rules on property like that? Seriously, isn’t there some sort of process and /or accountability involved?

She's lying. Too bad the American press is as corrupt as a state run press in some third world hellhole.

About $830/55 gal drum for the stuff that meets federal requirements.

You’re right. That ain’t cheap.
