I've just been to east Germany and saw in a museum the Incredible pettiness of the surveillance state.

They collected smell samples of supposed activists, and you could be labeled an activist for writing something sarcastic on a poster or newspaper. Also if you were labeled as such they could 'unofficially ' ruin your life (as in thwart your ambitions and goals.

So much money and effort was spent on policing the hearts and minds of the populace. And the frail religious conservatives who run America would probably love the idea.

Paint police instead? /silly

Hold the cops down and paint them then

Seems like a good use of their time. Police jobs are basically welfare for the mediocre low iq dipshits from high school.

The article title is framing things way too passively considering the reality which is :

"Florida Republicans order the erasure of mass shooting memorial for 49 murder victims targeted by a bigot wanting to kill members of the LGBT community"

Imagine being so insecure that you have to stop people from having a harmless shrine to a bunch of people killed in a mass murder.

Anyways, there's a lot of crosswalks and there's no way they can even long term focus on this crosswalk. Wait for them to leave, do it again.

So long as conservatives continue to exert exceptional effort to try and erase LGBT identity, people should attack Christian identity in equal measure. Tear down billboards with gospel on them. Deface publicly displayed crucifixes. Burn bibles in public.

Paint different crosswalks. How many crosswalks are in the city? I bet there are more than they have police to stand and watch them.

Has anyone heard of Toynbee Tiles? These are interesting by themselves but the relevant point is how they are made.

You make a mosaic out of vinyl flooring chunks on a backing of paper and roofing tar as mastic.

You place them paper side up on asphalt pavement in hot weather. As cars drive over them, the paper and tar wear off revealing the vinyl mosaic.

Just a thought that a group of people could quickly make a rainbow crosswalk that can’t be painted over.

Civilian chalk artists now need armed civilan escorts to protect them from police.

Police are going to shoot someone for putting chalk on the pavement to remember the victums of a mass shooting.

This is America.

Why do they have the resources to do this and not watch for cars almost hitting pedestrians at the same crosswalks.
