"Indianapolis Paints Giant Black Lives Matter Mural a Block From Street Where White Mom Was Murdered for Saying ‘All Lives Matter’"
Was this reported locally at all?
Want to find out first hand what black lives matter is? Looks like they are planning a protest in Martinsville @ 3pm at the county courthouse on Saturday. There may even be some heated discussions! Come on down and watch the fun!
Popped up on my wife's I-phone this evening.
Martinsville?
What? Four people expected?

I have to give props to the Indianapolis folks that painted that mural. It actually LOOKS like a mural versus a yellow traffic advisory.
As to it being a block away from a murder....people sleep and eat within a block of that murder. Should they hold a 24/7/365 vigil? Should they go on a hunger strike?
Dumb argument.
A white girl got killed by a black criminal. Find him. Try him. Too bad we can't fry him.
Well, except that it appears that she was allegedly killed because she failed to toe the BLM line and dared to say that All Lives Matter. So yeah, not quite a random killing.
They were in Plymouth today.

While I support people's rights to express their views, paint in the street should be for public safety. If you're going to let one group paint the street, you have to let others. What if blue lives matter wants to paint a mural of officers who had to defend their lives from armed felons?
This is the same point that I made, that hasn't gotten much response. If defacing a public roadway by painting a BLM "mural" is protected speech, how can the defacing of that mural not also constitute protected speech?
I can disagree with allowing defacing of a public roadway, disagree with the BLM message, and also disagree with defacing the "mural" - while still recognizing that the state is constitutionally prohibited from playing favorites with respect to which of these acts constitute protected speech and which do not.
Do you think that those less knowledgeable than you might see your proclamation as support for the group?I think the odds are pretty good that the Indy BLM mural was installed with an eye toward being defaced...
...it plays right into the narrative of the wing-nut brigade of the American Political Left. (Look how racist those hoosiers are, blah blah, etc...).
I don't have strong feelings about the mural as a work of art or as a political statement, but I am disheartened by how easily this has been used as a wedge by those who want to divide us...it's just paint on asphalt - it doesn't change a damn thing between us as citizens and neighbors.
Race itself is a flawed construct, a lie we have been told so often it starts to have the ring of truth to it. We need to do a better job of separating the lies from truth.
ETA:
I have no problem admitting that I loath fascism...but I don't support ANTIFA. Along those sam lines, while I have no problem proclaiming "black lives matter!" loudly and sincerely, do not make the mistake of thinking I support the Black Lives Matter(TM) political action group or their marxist ambitions. Recognize the Mott-and-Bailey fallacy when you see it, and beware of its trap.
