The resident should have asked to paint something like “Back The Blue”, but, this shows government being used for hardcore leftist purposes
A California city removed its Black Lives Matter mural in the middle of the night last week after a local lawyer asked whether she could install one nearby in support of President Donald Trump’s reelection bid.
CBS San Francisco reported on Sunday that a Redwood City resident, Dan Pease, asked city officials earlier in July if he could paint “Black Live Matter” on a street downtown as part of an Independence Day public-art celebration. Officials agreed and provided him with yellow poster-board paint he used to paint the 17-foot mural.
“Because we were using the poster-board paint that would eventually deteriorate over time, my understanding from them was that the mural would last as long as the paint lasted,” Pease told the outlet.
But on Thursday, city officials scrubbed the mural from the street in the middle of the night, saying it could be a traffic hazard, CBS San Francisco reported.
“Traffic hazard”. Would love for them to explain how so.
They removed it not long after Maria Rutenburg, a real-estate lawyer, requested that she be allowed to paint “MAGA 2020,” Trump’s reelection campaign slogan, on the same street.
“I saw ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign appearing on Broadway Street, on the asphalt. I figured that’s going to be a new public space open for discussion, and I wanted to get my message out too,” Rutenburg told the local CBS station.
Surprise! People should make these requests in every city, see how the city responds, whether they will be allowed to pain their own “murals”.
