A Black Lives Matter mural outside of Chicago was painted over to read "All Lives Matter" earlier this week, the latest occurrence of what has become a nationwide trend in recent weeks of vandals defacing similar BLM murals, as the U.S. painfully comes to terms with an evolving public dialogue centered around racism following the death of George Floyd. 'Black Lives Matter' mural painted in NYC NEW YORK, USA - JUNE 15: An aerial view of 'Black Lives Matter' mural painting is seen on Fulton ... KEY FACTS A portion of a street mural, which had been completed just two weeks ago in Oak Park (an Illinois neighborhood north of Chicago), was vandalized overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.

Overnight Monday into Tuesday, in Martinez, California, local police opened an investigation after "White Lives Matter" was illegally painted onto a roadway.

Graffiti/writing in the street isn’t a mural.
mural

1 a large picture painted or affixed directly on a wall or ceiling.
2 a greatly enlarged photograph attached directly to a wall.
3 a wallpaper pattern representing a landscape or the like, often with very widely spaced repeats so as to produce the effect of a mural painting on a wall of average size; a trompe l’oeil.

adjective
4 of, relating to, or resembling a wall.
5 executed on or affixed to a wall: mural inscriptions.
6 pertaining to any of several astronomical instruments that were affixed to a wall aligned on the plane of a meridian, and were formerly used to measure the altitude of celestial bodies: a mural quadrant; a mural circle.

Those BLM slogans are not murals, and most citizens see them as little more than defacement graffiti. Anyone calling attacks on them vandalism is a clown buffoon.

ladyjane :" The word mural originates from the Latin word “murus”, meaning wall.
A mural is something on a wall!
These BLM paintings are not murals, they are streetals."

Wikipedia describes a street as :
"Street:
A street is a public thoroughfare in a built environment.
It is a public parcel of land adjoining buildings in an urban context, on which people may freely assemble, interact, and move about."

The last I knew, these urban graffiti postings for BLM allow no freely assemble, freely interact,
or in the case of covid-19, there is little freely moving about.
The only accurate and honest presentation for this street graffiti would be to eliminate the letter "v"
from the statement of: "Black lives Matter"
but then you would be called 'racist', and brought up on 'hate crime' charges by social justice warriors.
Here, among the grafitti laced roads, which actions used to be called criminal, there is no freely offered discussion or interaction,
just submission (!).

How can you “deface” a defacement? Obscuring traffic markings on streets by painting “BLM” garbage on it is defacement of public property. I applaud those folks who promptly changed the message to All Lives Matter or who just blacked the whole insulting mess out.

EinNYC :" How can you “deface” a defacement? "

Exactly true !
Defacement of any roadway, structure, or transportation vehicle used to be considered criminal action.
Now, because it is politically expedient and endorsed by municipalities, defacement of a defacement is criminal behavior,
and subject to 'hate crime' prosecution/ persecution.
GO figure !

If it is painted on pavement, it is NOT a mural. “Murus” means “wall”.

My daughter shared a picture of roadkill the other day with a “get well soon” balloon attached to it.

Btw, is your nick here from THGTTG?

So many ignorant people out there that are clueless about what BLM is all about.

Yesterday afternoon while running errands I was listening to Fox Sports Radio 570 AM in Los Angeles. Two clowns were on who’s show I believe is a National not local LA broadcast. I didn’t catch their names (the more obnoxious and dimwitted one has a Phili / Bronx sounding voice) This D-bag was calling out Kelly Loeffer whom is co-owner of one of the Women’s NBA Teams as a racist because she doesn’t support BLM’s communist political agenda. Of course he is to dumb or has been cucked by PC to not know this, or in fact he is a communist and therefore he should be ridiculed and destroyed.

I’m hoping he is on the radio again today so I catch his name (95% sure it’s Arnie Spanier, but I’m not finding that 4:00 PM Sat. is his regular time slot) Whomever this clown is, he needs to be called out, which is my mission.

Deserved a tweet (looks like Regulator had same thoughts):
Ummm - is defacing a defacement actually defacing? How about all them buildings that have been ‘defaced” by rioters/looters/arsonists and the people who had their life forces “defaced”? Poor poor BLM “artists”

Just spill a gallon on paint in front and the cars driving by will take care of it.
