After a mural by Shepard Fairey was painted over in Covington, Kentucky, because a school disagreed with its antiwar message, the book-burners are taking things into their own hands right across the river in Cincinnati.
Early this week, somebody painted over a Shepard Fairey exhibit on Whetsel Avenue using beige paint and rollers. The building owner did not authorize the mural's removal (unlike in the Covington incident).
It turns out that right-wing activists had previously threatened at a neighborhood meeting to paint over the mural. The reason? They said the mural was "anti-police."
As if the Tea Party loons who support overthrowing the government aren't?
If the book-burners think of themselves as being champions of law enforcement, why do they break the damn laws themselves by vandalizing a mural? What a bunch of hypocrites.
