Sure, but idk immediately painting it over with the intent of getting rid of it asap, that’s the problem. Like i said it’s not like it was a good coverup or message it was just smeared colors. That shows the ill intent. My second point still stands though. It goes beyond scenarios like this with paint and extends to ppl crashing vigils and ripping up stuff that ppl put together. You can’t tell me that that isn’t rude and childish. Let ppl mourn/memorialize the dead in peace. You must agree, no?
I personally would never deface a memorial of anyone period just bc I have very strong feelings when it comes to respecting the dead. Like I said it’s easy for people who disagree or don’t like the memorial to just move along with their lives and walk away. I agree that respect is a two way street and you can’t expect respect for one issue when you can’t give it for another issue.
