I think "deface" is the wrong word. I'd say they "embellished" the mural.

Speaking of which, is that what we're calling graffiti these days, murals?

They’ve ruined so many words at this point for me. I’ll never look at the words “mural,” “protester,” “jogger,” “equality,” “justice,” “racism,” and so many more the same ever again. I need an entirely new vocabulary to replace all of the now meaningless words.

Police arrested a local jogger who was protesting racial inequality by creating an original mural which he hopes brings justice to his cause.

It was believed the owner of the 7-11 originally requested police presence, but after a conversation with the crowd he did not press charges.

It also appears the store was later burnt down in protest by Trump himself in an act of terrorism.

I think I put together the story for cnn correctly.

CNN: We can also report that Trump was seen fleeing the scene with a large quantity of pancakes.

Trump did all that?

CNN: No, but we’re reporting that he did.

All the proof I need that 7/11 was an inside job

You forgot the part where Trump rounded up all the homosexuals into camps.

It didn't happen, so just say he did it figuratively and then you can run with it. You're welcome for that Pulitzer prize you'll get btw.

Cyclist.

Lots of 'Cyclists' are tackled in Portland and Seattle protests. It makes them sound Olympians who were simply doing their event training. "A Cyclist was tackled by police.."

I think the worst word for me is "normal."

Mural is a confusing title for it as it refers to something on (or related to) a wall, and this thing is on the ground. I guess some people refer to graffiti on walls as murals. There at least it is technically correct, as it's on a wall. In this case, they may call it many things, but a mural it is not.

Also it's just words. Murals are usually loftier pieces of art, not something I can do with a plastic stencil and a bucket of paint.

Well, to those who can't really read or write, it's high art.

It is not even art, it is a political statement painted on the street.

The Dems/Left are addicted to calling things by affected-sounding names. It gives them away every time. The first time I heard somebody say "social distancing" I was pretty sure they were involved in the pandemic.
