D.C. Mayor Bowser has 'Black Lives Matter' painted on street leading to White House
NBC, Jun 5. 2020

WASHINGTON â€” District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser on Friday had "Black Lives Matter" painted on the street that leads to the White House where protesters have been demonstrating following George Floydâ€™s death in police custody.

"There was a dispute this week about whose street this is," John Falcicchio, chief of staff for Bowser, a Democrat, said in a tweet. "Mayor Bowser wanted to make it abundantly clear that this is DC's street and to honor demonstrators who (were) peacefully protesting on Monday evening."

And no longer has a crime problem.

This action showed Doh! Mayor for what she is.

Well, the Federal District gets at least some of its money from Congress.
It is obvious that the City feels it can use funds for political statements painted on public property.
Aside from the issue, now that the public space has been opened up to political (First Amendment) statements, of whether any viewpoint should have a Right to be so represented, there is a question of cost.

Apparently they have a surplus of funding.

Next time, cut their budget.

So who in the hell thinks they donâ€™t!? Names, I want names. Not careers or professions or agenciesâ€”those arenâ€™t sentient beings. Give me people, individuals, personsâ€”as distinct from groups.

Contrary to the current diatribe, over the last 50 years there had been a lot of progress made with regard to racial tolerance and I just have to wonder if that is being undermined on all sides with these events. Many non-african Americans have gone to bat in one way or another for "minorities" and it will be interesting if that "support" will diminish.

This was all done for the 1million people expected to protest in DC this weekend..The Mayor also kicked out the Nat'l Guard so there will be no police presence and the *peaceful demonstrators* are free to do anything they want...

According to the statistics police are more reluctant than ever to use lethal force on blacks. All things being equal they're more likely to blast whites. BLM is a myth.

Al Sharpton and the Floyd family will lead the march with expected turnout of 1million..

All of this is nothing more than calculated distractions.
They had to blow-up Trump's blossoming economy. - Done
They had to interfere and disrupt the election. - Done and Ongoing
None of this is real. None of it is about Floyd or Civil Rights.
It is all and only about sabotaging Trump in anyway possible.
And as of now, Soros/Pelosi/Shumer are winning.

Bowser's evicted the Utah National Guard from their hotel in DC.

One million marchers ... no law enforcement.

What can go wrong?

The White House should be evacuated and filled to the rafters with Secret Service agents. Trump and co. should be on Air Force One.

Their intent is to burn down the White House as a symbolic victory over America as a nation.

There will be thousands of foriegn nationals and real-life actual terrorists/agents from all over the world in the group. China/Russia/Iran et. al., see this as an opportunity to deal America a death-blow, and a significant percentage of the American population and leadership is supporting them.
