Tearing down a hundred year old statue is fine. Painting over graffiti on a street is a crime. Welcome to the new normal
“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” — Orwell
This is astonishing.
If it’s city sanctioned, it’s not a crime.
next time just paint over Black - leave up Lives Matter
What is the crime? Cars driving over the graffiti will destroy it as well, so it isn’t like it was something that would last.
What law did they break?
Have those same police departments investigated ANY of the Antifa/BLM vandalism of Public and Private property over the last month?
There ARE laws on the books for those crimes.
They are "this close" to arresting people for flying the American Flag as "provoking violence".
It’s a crime against taxpayers. If they used the good stuff, that federally approved paint goes for over $800 per 55g drum...
Paint over the “V”.
;)
I am Spartacus!, I am Spartacus!, No, I am Spartacus!....
next time just paint over Black - leave up “Lives Matter!”
It is amazing how this simple phrase:
All Lives Matter!
Turns so called peace loving people into raging/mouth foaming/screaming liberals because in their insanity “Only Black Lives Matter!”
The even simpler message, “Lives Matter!” will work.
“NO KILL I” comes too mind, as in Matter Lives! ;-)
Should have done a culturally appropriate side show on top of it instead
How many FBI agents have been assigned to “crack” this important case?
15 were assigned to find out who put up a garage pull in Bubbba Wallace’s garage.
Should request permission to paint their own message. Judicial Watch is suing DC and NYC asking to paint “No one is above the law”.
There is tons of case law and precedence that government cannot engage In viewpoint discrimination. BLM is a political message and thus subject to counter messaging.
Actually, just getting rid of the “v” would be sufficient.
It’s funny. Google Earth still shows four cars, three of which my family has not owned for fives years or more, in my driveway. Yet, the BLM street adornment in DC is visible on their page.
That puts the importance of “the people” in perspective.
(Americans Fix Martinez ‘Black Lives Matter’ Street graffiti)
BLM is no longer a voice for people of color, is the swastika of vile Anti-Americans.
