The artist Sasha Andrade needs a few days of intense scrutiny by the US Secret Service for her efforts.

This is the proper way to modify the mural

And that to me is an elephant in the living room, a glaring double standard. The same people/mind set who depict Trump in this manner would be livid and outraged if Obama were the focus of such treatment.

Where is the line between 'ART' and threatening the President of the United States?

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

It says in the article the school covered it up with a tarp and blocked it with a bus and requested the artist change the scene.

The mural was painted by artist Sasha Andrade for Battlegroundz, an annual graffiti expo that raises scholarship funds. It was held April 28 in an alley behind the MAAC Community Charter School. “We understand that there was a mural painted at the event this past weekend that does not align with our school’s philosophy of nonviolence,” school director Tommy Ramirez said in a statement. “We have been in communication with the artist — who has agreed to modify the artwork — to better align with the school’s philosophy.” The mural was covered by a plastic tarp on Wednesday with a bus parked in front, local station KUSI reported. The tarp was later replaced with plywood.

However the artist, in an attempt to gain notoriety JMO, is defiant on it's original
look, but it's still being changed.

Andrade could not be immediately reached for comment. But in social media posts that appear to follow a report by local station KUSI, she remained defiant. “They can try to #censor it but here it is guys!!!!” she wrote Wednesday in a caption showing the full mural on Instagram and Twitter, including a hashtag for freedom of expression. The post was later deleted.

The University of Dallas, in Irving.
But Catholics wouldn't condone hanging either one in effigy.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Good friend of mine was a substitute teacher for that school district, said it's a complete disaster. Very low income, parents don't give a shit or, lift a finger of concern until their kid is failing or, called in because of behavior issues; then it becomes the teacher's fault. Nothing is much of a surprise when it comes to border-area issues.

Seems to me the mindset of that culture is they want to bring moldy bread to the party, but eat prime rib; and then blame others if things don't work out their way.

Clearly, it would be racist, instead of art, or an exercise of ones First Amendment rights.

I don't believe there is a line

you can't fall back on the 1st Amendment...she needs to be detained and likely prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law

Yup. I asked one of my co-workers if they needed anything before I left. The response was "shoot Trump".

I hate leftists.

WaPo is fine with it. These aren't reasonable people and sharing a country with them is not going to get any easier.
