Brooklyn, New York City—There is growing outrage in Brooklyn and in Newark after two statues to honor George Floyd were targeted by vandals. The George Floyd statue that was unveiled on Juneteenth at 1545 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn was discovered vandalized around 7:20 a.m. Thursday.(Snip) "I'm not gonna get emotional but to come up today, someone in the name of hate, came through the night and defaced it. In the night, when we couldn't see their face. They snuck in. It's really, really devastating," said statue producer Lindsay Eshelman. "They seem to be very aligned with the things that happened at the Capitol.

That's a real shame. A real shame they didn't have time to completely destroy it.

Honey, no one at the Capitol destroyed statues. Your perceptions are your fantasy. They are not reality.

Maybe the vandals got sick of seeing a monument to a drug addled felon from another State.

Yet the producers of this garbage don't see any problem honoring a career criminal. Truly pathetic.
Speaking of Floyd's value to society, does anyone really think that the Floyd family would give up the $27 million to have him back? Not a chance.

How many statues of real American heroes were torn down this past summer?
And why was Floyd memorialized? Was it for the incident where he held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly while his cohorts ransacked her place for which he received jail time?

It would have been a lot more offensive if they used blue paint.

I’d bet that they were Antifa and the whole thing was planned with the help of BLM. It’s been a while since blacks had the opportunity to do some more “shopping”.

George Floyd was murdered.
He was murdered by his drug dealer. Why hasn't his drug dealer been arrested and charged with murder? Here in Ohio, a drug dealer can prosecuted if one of his "customers" dies after consuming a drug dealer's "product."

They are ugly statues that do nothing to enhance their neighborhoods. BLM and Antifa have already proven that if you don't like a statue, you can deface it, destroy it, or whine enough so that guilt-ridden white liberals will have it removed from the public square.
No matter how he died, Floyd was still a good-for-nothing dirtbag. Not the person you want to honor with statues.
While they're at it, I wish someone would cover up that stupid black lives matter paint job in Washington, DC.

Perhaps Jussie Smollett’s Nigerian buddies were in town.

I guess there was no hate involved in the statue destruction done all over the country in the past year+.

Oh, so now they have scruples about defacing statues. They can pound sand.

The people's noses are being rubbed in the filth that was George Floyd. These statues are an outrage.
