‘Disappointed and outraged.’ Black Lives Matter murals defaced across US, photos show
ILLINOIS
Overnight, a Black Lives Matter mural on a street in Chicago was altered to say “All Lives Matter,” photos show. City officials had most of the graffiti washed off by 10 a.m., the Chicago Tribune reported.
UTAH
The same night, vandals in Park City defaced a Black Lives Matter mural by covering the word “Black” with gray paint and the clenched fist symbol used as an ‘I’ in “Lives,” the Park Record reported. It was one of two murals on the street vandalized overnight, according to the Record.
The other mural, which read “Peace, Unity, Love” was altered as well, the Record reported. The mural depicts a hand with a bracelet with the letters “BLM,” and vandals used gray paint to cover the ‘B,’ according to the Record.
CALIFORNIA
The district attorney’s office in Martinez, California is charging a man and a woman with hate crimes after videos posted on social media showed the couple vandalizing a Black Lives Matter mural in the San Francisco Bay Area, McClatchy reported.
VERMONT
Vermont State Police are investigating the defacement of three Black Lives Matter murals as potential “bias incidents,” a news release from the agency said. One of the murals was painted in Jericho and the other two in Underhill, according to Vermont State Police.
FLORIDA
Community members in Orlando started painting a Black Lives Matter mural in June but it wasn’t even complete before it was defaced, WKMG reported. Two days after organizers started the project, vandals spray-painted “abolish the police” and “not enough” across parts of the 600-foot long mural, according to WFTV.
OHIO
Vandals defaced a Black Lives Matter mural in Cleveland in late June by writing “BLM IS MARXIST” and “STOP KILLING EACH OTHER” across it, WKYC reported. Cleveland police confirmed a criminal mischief report was filed about the incident, according to WKYC.
Oh now it's a crime to deface things?

Graffiti is no longer a crime, but painting over it is?
Got it.

Are you serious?
If so, yes it is. Destruction of state (or federal depending on the statue) property.

All of the “murals” I’ve seen are Words painted on roads. Is this what they are calling “murals?”

I read all of that and all I can say in response is that political protests are a motherfricker when the shoe is on the other foot. Isn’t that right Dems?

Are most of the people pulling down statues in new orleans transplants from the northeast?

Yea, but murals sound more important.
