    Black Lives Matter mural near Chicago defaced

    All lives do matter

    A Black Lives Matter mural was defaced and painted over to read “All Lives Matter” in a village near Chicago this week, according to officials and a new report.


    The mural, painted two weeks ago in Oak Park, Illinois, was vandalized overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, village officials said.


    Portions of the mural were covered up so that it read “All Lives Matter,” according to the Chicago Tribune.


    The graffiti was largely cleaned off by 10 a.m. Wednesday, but local officials and artists who created the mural said they will discuss whether additional work is needed to fully restore it, the outlet reported.

    From the OP link, another: California duo charged with hate crime for defacing Black Lives Matter mural.

    If that's a hate crime why aren't similar defacement and toppling of statues hate crimes?

    Since 'hate' is a very personal emotion, it couldn't be directed at an inanimate object.

    Any crime against a person, is a 'hate crime', because one doesn't usually harm another person out of love. Bottom line: the use of the term 'hate crime' is nothing more that an emotional tweak to make it seem 'more horrible' with no value whatsoever.

    A lot of these municipalities are scared spitless of Black Marxist Lies Matter because they know their city will burn to the ground if they actually enforce the law.

    Basically, they are cowards.
