A mural to the slain Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska has been ordered to be removed. Apparently the mural was painted on the side of a gay bar, and the owners quickly snapped into action as outraged erupted across Providence, RI. As the mayor said, while tragic, such murals of single individuals slain like George Floyd Iryna Zaurtska cause more divisions than do good. Plus, as mayoral candidate David Morales explained, such a memorial in no way reflects the values of Providence. I'll leave the gentle reader to ponder just why this particular memorial to a young woman who was so brazenly murdered doesn't reflect the values of Providence, Rhode Island.
With each passing day it becomes easier to avoid the Left like the soul plague that it is. And I don't make statements like that lightly. Never in modern times has a movement yelled so loudly from the rooftops that it cares not one rip for the slaughter of a thousand innocents but that they can be exploited.
Of course I could be wrong. Perhaps they are merely standing on some longtime liberal position that murals are always bad because they could be divisive. There's always that.
