More Mural Controversy
Last week it was the ODB mural in Bed Stuy that consumed the blogosphere; this week, it’s a mural of another downed twenty-something Benjamin O’Garro.

“‘East New York do you know what I can’t stand???!! Hypocrisy!!!!!!!!!!! There are statues of these retards like Andrew Jackson! This guy murdered a whole fort in Mexico that was filled with Indians and Runaway Slaves women and children.”
What,
You must mean the Negro Fort incident in the Seminole Wars in Spanish Florida, not Mexico, as Andrew Jackson was never in Mexico (or Texas, for that matter). They were killed by a cannonball that exploded in the fort’s ammunition storage, setting off the rest of the fort.
Nevertheless, your knowledge of this obscure incident is pretty impressive…if only you could write a sentence in English!
ps Native Americans were hardly innocent when it came to killing women and children settlers (19th Century Asshats), or owning slaves. That said, they always got the short end of the stick.
‘Did someone say something?? Oh well…’
good one!
and, to think, it only took you 42 minutes to come up with that brilliant witticism…
You should definitely quit your day job (that, lets be honest, you probably don’t have) and just bless us with your fatuous vitriol 24/7!

“Did this rambling, incoherent blather make sense in your head as you typed it?”
Did someone say something?? Oh well…
The What (Tick…Tick… Tick…)
Someday this war is gonna end..
long ago these murals where common for shot people who lived in the neighborhood
yes thugs and sometimes collateral
but the murals were a way to honor a lost life
to put it in your face that a life had been lost on that particular spot.
So now we whities (yes me too) all moved in where the thugs used to live and did their thing. good or bad.
Now we all got our cute little coffee shops-little restaurants-$9 a glass wine terraces and with our steep rent, we even might wanna raise our kids here. Yes, why should i be looking at this local whatyamecallit?
