I am trying to understand why there is some protection of BLM/Antwon Rose and so-on in our city as it is some shrine? It is graffiti and why is it "being protected" as if we must yield to it?

Why couldn't someone paint over it with a rainbow or whatever? Who says it is some protected art? I saw it and it isn't "art", it looks like a third grader put it up.

Why are we being force into allowing this promotion? More and more people are leaving BLM with all the corruption and stealing that is taking place in the organization.

It is time people take a stand against being forced to think a certain way about this! Last I check we should be "free to express". Seems only one group is "free" in Pittsburgh. Maybe we need to look at that more.

It seems honoring criminals isn’t popular with everyone, and All Lives Matter would be more appropriate.

Sometimes I look at my nighttime post and think, UGH!

Not this time. I am tired of being force-fed this crap in our city. Everyone should be able to express by graffiti if that is allowed to stay there as some odd shrine. Where is the "Blue Lives Matter" sign? Where is the equality?

no one will agree that it should be 'protected'.

there is a greater point here - this is the passion of the day. this is what people are protesting for, and so on.

i 'get' why this is a news story, why this can be seen as a defamation of sorts.

but you bet your life channel 4 would LOVE it if a security cam caught a couple white blokes doing it....then they have the proverbial clay to mold a good, salacious story of racism out of it.

Many of the same people that want statues taken down for acts that happened 100’s of years ago are many of the same people who want a mural/s of serial criminals protected.

The media would certainly “LOVE” a story like that.
