PR Flag in NJ Vandalized: Swastika Painted Over It

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

At least he didn't burn down the building saying "Nazi Puerto Ricans get out."

Secondly the man in question hired the artist to paint something on one of properties, and the guy painted a Puerto Rican flag without his permission and against his wishes. The real vandal is the artist. The swastika was of course unnecessary but in his mind he saw it as responding to a ridiculous statement with a ridiculous statement.

The flag is "something." He asked for a mural, not something in specific. There is no vandalism here if the owner consented to the building being painted.

It's his building. The artist got paid. The owner can do what he wants to the mural. He can replace it with a mural of Evil Canevil. He can piss on it (if he likes wiping piss of his door-and if he wants to pay the fine for public urination) for all he cares too.

Yeah, it's absolutely fine that he put a swastika over it because he didn't like it. Yep. There's nothing wrong at all. Keep telling yourself that in your tacit approval of racism.

One thing is painting it over; another is putting a swastika on it. That's sending a public message about what he thinks, and people like you just turn a blind eye to it.

A racist guy externalized his internalized racism in a rash reaction. That isn't a hate crime. That isn't an act of violence. That isn't even an article of news. I don't see what this has to do with anything aside from an attempt to smear the President after your last fifteen examples have been disproved, incident after incident.
