The National WWI Memorial Museum in Kansas City was found defaced with anti-voting graffiti on Election Day.
The museum shared an image to Twitter on the morning of Nov. 3 showing red writing that read "Don't Vote!" and "Fight for Revolution" scrawled across the outside of the building [....]
Since the incident this morning, the building walls have been cleaned and are no longer displaying the graffiti.

more voodoo zeigeist and what's good for the goose is good for the gander:
Let's go whole hog and let everyone tear down whatever public art they feel like tearing down at the moment.
And defund the police!

Omen of the future? If Biden wins, all BLM-related artwork will be attacked? And why should police care?

Police would care if Trump is reelected? Trump would care?... about anything but Trump?

I couldn't stop laughing. I want to see some of the BLM people pulling down statues explain how this is wrong. The best argument they have is Statues for me but not for thee. The X for me but not for thee is the argument for the times

Graffiti and property destruction is nothing new
A memorial to Emmett Till had to be replaced and made bulletproof because the previous sign was used for target practice

There is a subset of society willing to destroy property.
With current surveillance systems, there is a change that the criminals can be caught.

There is a subset of society willing to destroy property.
And a large if not a majority of them are BLM protestors

From the WaPo
The majority of BLM protests were peaceful

apples and oranges trick you're doing there. Sure. But the majority of recent vandalism is also related to BLM protests. Downtown Minneapolis, Manhattan businesses and Chicago Magnificent mile businesses sat unprotected and unboarded up completely empty and no one bothered them during weeks and weeks of lockdown until BLM protests started. We didn't have problems with people burning down or trying to burn down police stations or federal buildings before BLM movement either. We didn't have a looting problem, even though people were hurting for money....

When Martin Luther King Jr. came to Memphis to support the Sanitation Worker's Strike, violence broke out was that violence due to Martin Luther King Jr.?

Breaking: MLk didn't cause BLM violence, damage...

MLK chose to use non-violent theory for a very specific reason: not because he was an angel peacenik from heaven but because he realized violence was extremely counter-productive.
You got to have those Sister Souljah moments with any movement that hopes for eventual majority support. The radicals have to be purged. (They learned this in the French Revolution, I believe?)

Um, not sure he was that cynical. He was pretty invested in Christianity, as it meant back then.
