I love Matt Walsh's take on this:

Huh I guess he really didn’t think there should be a statue of a violent felon who forced his way into a woman’s home and robbed her at gunpoint before dying while high on lethal doses of fentanyl after trying to pass off counterfeit bills. Can’t say I disagree.

35 second video of the freedom fighter, er, vandal in this link from twitter

Of all the time to wear your Covid mask, it’s definitely to hide your identity while you deface things in a public square. What an idiot.

Although I don’t hate the act itself

I think displaying a statue of George Floyd is just one of the millions of idiotic things are society currently finds as acceptable. He is the very definition of a divisive figure in our current society, much less history.

That said, I do not agree with throwing paint, or defacing the statue in any way. That's not beneficial to anyone. The same as removing all of the other statues over the past 5 years have benefitted anyone.

"Your Honor -- my client claims he is just another artist, merely embellishing this 'Floyd' statue with his own symbolic personal expression of 'love'".

I thought it was legal to deface statues now? Did I miss when it became illegal again?

Looks like half the paint missed the mark. Why not use a paint gun?

We have had hundreds of historic statues destroyed and defaced over the last 2 years including some right here in New Orleans. Tell me how many of those vandals were prosecuted????

NYC has banned guns...that's why it's such a safe place.
