Memorial Park Fountain Vandalized

I was wondering why no pictures as well.  I went this morning to take a look and the City had already pressure washed most of it and it wouldn't have been legible in a picture.  Hopefully it will come off completely.  It was less extensive than I had feared, mostly 1 panel of the outside wall of the fountain and a small portion of the river wall.

some of the symbols looked like they were thought up and painted by a 6 year old.  i honestly wouldn't even call this graffiti- more or less scribblings and nonsensical references to the President.

But honestly, what do we expect when hate speech masquerades as "news" in the mainstream media.  Thank you Fox!  Of course the slow children are going to cling to this sort of drivel.

They need to put cameras in the park to deter this sort of action

I doubt that will do much to keep vandals from doing such stuff.

If they had cameras I think people would be less likely to dwell.

Seriously? Kill the president?  Too bad this guy wasn't caught on camera so he could be added to a watch list.  Sounds like he has the intellect of a red neck high schooler.  That limits the potential suspects to about 100,000.

True, my mistake.  The Prezident should be shaking in his boots, whoever he is.

Some dumb azz.  What happened to the mural in 5-Points on Lomax Street at Park Street?  (The one with Marilyn Monroe, etc. outside Fans and Stoves)  It is painted over an is now tagged?

I found the answer to my question. Here is the new mural.  I saw it in the beggining stages.  It looks better now.  The old one has a special place in my heart though. hehe.

That is art!  I haven't seen that mural yet, but I plan to stop by after work to check it out.
