The Black Lives Matter mural outside of Trump Tower has been defaced yet again — just days after it was cleaned from a previous act of vandalism.Guilet Dita Germanotta, 39, was arrested Wednesday afternoon after allegedly throwing blue paint across the giant yellow lettering that the city has painted across the block of Fifth Avenue outside the president’s former home, sources told the Post.Germanotta was placed in custody around 4:12 p.m. was taken to the Midtown North precinct for processing. Charges are pending, according to police.The mural has been vandalized nearly every week
But the mural itself is illegal, the "artists" having secured none of the usual permits to put it there. It exists only because Mayor De Blasio personally overrode all protocols and allowed it, via "My Word Is Law" style dictatorial authority. Just try painting a MAGA or KAG mural on the street in front of the Mayor's home. That'll be shut down immediately, and they'd arrest you for that. Double standards anyone?

Do not see anyone with rights to advertise anything on public street. Off to the side of the street on private property should be okay unless it interferes with safety view of intersection for traffic.

NYC police are deployed to protect paint on a street and not deployed to protect black lives in its neighborhoods. Something is seriously wrong with the city's priorities. The mayor is insane.

Wait, what?!...splashing paint on a street gets you arrested, but rioting, buring, looting, shooting lasers at police, etc., doesn't???

Did she get out of jail right away with no bail like the looters, rioters, and some attempted murderers? Or, was the seriousness of her crime considered so violent and vile that she will be kept locked up until her trial sometime next year?

She should have shot somebody. Apparently that's legal. Maybe people keep defacing that "mural" because it's wrong for it to be there.

So are people who remove graffiti off of government property also being arrested?
They have arrested people for writing messages in chalk!
This is insanity!!!
Voting matters.

So Antifa and BLM thugs can destroy property and paint graffiti all over the place and as long as it supports the Democrat manifesto, its OK. But deface graffiti is now a crime. Some animals are more equal than others in the barnyard.

She and like minded friends need to start a riot...loot and burn, then in the melee pour black (the PC color) on the Mural...that way the Police will be NO WHERE to be found!

Like #6 I'm assuming she'll be out shortly without having to post bail.

I love that there is a contingent of people in NYC who are determined to continue to deface this mural.

Germanotta? From the conservative side of Lady Gaga's family? (Germanotta is her real name)

Best way to deface it. Bring in a hot tar truck (no markings, no license plates) around 3 am and make a run or two over the sign.

If there was somewhere to contribute to a fund to support these folks, I'd send $100.

As with all headlines, don't take them at face value. Was she arrested for defacing or causing a scene?

Seems like a good way to cover up the BLM graffiti would be to hook up a couple of 55 gallon drums full of black paint to a bar sprayer (like farmers use to spray their fields), mount it on the back of a pickup truck, and casually drive down the street covering the BLM graffiti. The truck wouldn’t garner much, if any, attention and the entire block could be taken care of in a matter of minutes.

It was just a peaceful protest. Do you think she will get life or the electric chair?

Geezer (#21) my thought exactly!
The only difference is I was thinking to mount the spray bar under the truck, about halfway along, about under the cab-to-bed junction. One could easily make it a 'stealth' sprayer, very hard to detect, especially if used at night.
The Yellow Letters are NOT a MURAL!
They are Graffiti supporting a Violent Anarchist Communist organization!
