when i saw this story come out i thought it was going to be a positive piece that might bring change to a troubled intersection. i thought maybe these people are building a sidewalk made out of chalk because the city won't put up a light or stop sign?

they really got me with this one lol

My heart dropped when the article reads, “at the time it was the deadliest mass shooting in US History” and the Pulse Club for LGBTQ+ was attacked by ISIS.

Thank God someone is finally addressing the chalk threat. Do you have any idea the number of people who die every year from chalk art?

Defacing public streets with political messages should be a crime, and the law should be enforced.

LOL - does that mean we also arrest little girls who draw hopscotch diagrams on sidewalks?

Are you naive enough to think we should hold children to the same legal standard we hold adults?

Sure, we are. The law is supposed to apply to everyone equally except Trump. Trump is above the law apparently.
