Battle of the murals

 Bill Ponton - American Thinker 

 "I say in a civilized nation there is no question as to which mural should be displayed and which should be discarded."


"Providence Mayor Brett Smiley wants a mural of Iryna Zarutska taken down because the intent of those funding the mural is misguided and divisive. I don’t agree, and have an opinion that runs counter to his. I believe this nation needs many more murals of Iryna Zarutska as a reminder of what happened to her. Moreover, I want those murals to supplant every mural of George Floyd, the patron saint of losers. That’s right. I want every mural of George Floyd to be painted over with a mural of Iryna Zarutska. Elon Musk could fund the effort. Which mural is more deserving of display?

"The mural of a bum who went his whole life not amounting to anything. Who was in and out of prison for crimes as serious as threatening a pregnant woman with a gun if she did not reveal the whereabouts of hidden drugs and money. Who’s only notoriety is that he downed a lethal dose of drugs before being taken into police custody for passing off a counterfeit bill.

"Or, the mural of a young woman who fled from war-torn Ukraine seeking refuge in America, working hard to better her lot in life and then having that life taken away from her by a crazed racist black killer while other blacks looked the other way." . . .

. . . "On September 9, Trump used the case to again criticize cashless bail, a policy he says allows dangerous individuals to reoffend. He said, "This cashless bail started a wave in our country where a killer kills somebody and is out on the street by the afternoon, and, in many cases, going out and killing again, cashless bail."
