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.

Performance artist improves street art. Red for the blood on BLMs hands?
Patriot, not “vandal.”
When does graffiti become a mural?
Don’t NYC kids have cars that can burn rubber? Burn out on that.
That didn’t take long.
Who couldn’t see that coming?
It’s not a mural, it’s an eyesore.
Needs more red paint. Never finished the job.
A group of patriots with masks over their faces show up with cans of black spray paint. In a little while the street will look the way a street should look —all black. No more graffiti.
Block lettering is NOT a ‘mural.”
LMAO!
I believe a Freeper with a Challenger lives not too far away from there. Might be able to put a little rubber on the so-called mural.
People who live in Trump Tower pay taxes and they have the right to be respected. They need to group together and sue DiBlasio.
> Can drones be programmed to carry and then strategically spill paint? Just wondrin’..... <
I don’t think a drone could carry a big enough payload.
Speaking hypothetically of course, here’s what would work - a guy on a motorcycle. Strap a couple of gallons of paint on each side of the bike. You’d just need to rig up some sort of quick-release valve to each can.
I do not endorse vandalism. But I must say that I’m torn here. Because the media has excused away all the leftist vandalism. It’s all just a form of expression! So how would this be any different?
Feel free to topple an “offensive” statue, but you dare not touch a “BLM” mural. I have the motive but not the opportunity to deface BLM graffiti. Make no mistake: “Black Lives Matter” = the BLM movement.
He needs more paint!
The vandals have turned the street into a common nuisance. Beside that the mayor has used his power to punish a political rival along with many people who just want to live in peace wherever they wish.
If someone was able to do a rainbow-striped vandalism over the BLM yellow letters, then all the leftists would be in a tizzy trying to figure out which virtue group should be shown as the winner here.
Yes, good! They should wear black hoodies and masks.
The blank street was a mural, BlM replaced it with another mural, and now it is a red mural. NO biggie.
