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.

    You bring up a good point here. There are a lot of crosswalks. So what happens if people just start doing this at random crosswalks around the city?

    I was thinking, what else can we rainbow up while they're all looking at crosswalks?

    Postal boxes? Transformer boxes? Manhole covers? Park walking paths? Detention center fences? The houses of local homophobic politicians? Bike racks? Telephone poles?

    Defacing postal boxes is destruction of federal property. Up to 3 years and $200k. Also, postal inspectors will absolutely dick you down and make local Florida cops look even way more dumberer.

    Postal inspectors are kind of like game wardens. They are cops, but, they mostly get a pass and they do a lot of good.
