Vandal dumps red paint on Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower
NY Post ^

Posted on 07/13/2020 1:56:34 PM PDT by bryan999

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s giant Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower is already getting dumped on.

An unidentified man walked up to the giant mural outside the Midtown skyscraper and poured red paint on the bright yellow letters shortly after noon Monday, then ran off before cops showed up to survey the damage.

“I knew it was going to happen — there’s all this racist s–t going on,” construction worker Billy McCabe told The Post. “The mural shouldn’t have been done right in front of Trump Tower.”

The mural, announced by de Blasio earlier this month, has already become a flashpoint for face-offs between pro- and anti-Trump forces — including an ugly back-and-forth on Saturday.

Dang. I guess that means they are destroying art.

Wait until starts raining and paint becomes slick. Cars will be crashing and suing the city.

A dump truck full of hot Asphalt will do the trick.

By golly, you’re right. Red = Republican, as in a red state. I forgot all about that.

Clearly, cars are driving on the “mural”. Isn’t that like having a US flag as a door mat? Why would the mayor think that it would be respectable to drive all over BLM? Just saying.

There is an easier way to alter this mural. Get a car or truck with a severe leaky oil pan and drive over it a few times. If your caught you can claim you were unaware of the leak it was an unfortunate accident.

I wish he would have dumped 5 gals of gasoline and a match.

2020 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will begin on Friday, August 7 and end on Sunday, August 16.   The expected half a million bikers could all convoy to Manhattan and put some burnouts on the non-mural.

I would take it one step farther. This is an exceptional example of post-post-modern performance art, where the conflict and paradox created by the paint becomes part of the performance.

Taking it a step further, Wilhelm immediately sent his city workers to "repair" the "mural." It's now back to it's original form. This is getting exciting. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Leftist cry babies do have Sturgis on their to do list. Better get the milk cartons ready for new faces. Call it the missing snowflake series.

Someone read my 07/07/20 post?

Every time they paint it back, 4AM pickup truck, five gallon buckets of oil based paint opened and kicked off the tailgate while driving across the “mural”.

Blood red color would be good.
Hit the word “matter”

The message...black lives bleed by their own inner city killings of black on blacks.

Drop anonymous editorial note to all major media;
“The truth of the matter is that black on black violence and bloodshed is the true problem that must be addressed”.
