"Christian Lives Matter" vandal destroying a mural of George Michael Twitter
By Bil Browning · Monday, November 20, 2017
When youre willing to follow instructions from a Facebook group called Christian Lives Matter, youre already a few fries short of a happy meal. So you will be shocked to discover that after one moron did their bidding to vandalize a mural of George Michael, he was quickly busted and lost his job.
Heres a pro tip: If youre going to try to destroy a public work of art, perhaps you shouldnt do it in the middle of the day while wearing your work shirt.
It didnt take long for internet sleuths to track down his employer at Azztek Stone. And it didnt take long for the company to hand the man his pink slip.
We at Azztek Stone strongly and vigorously condem [sic] the action taken by one of our employees. His actions in no way reflect on the beliefs held by the company, its policy and the belief of all other individuals employed by Azztek Stone, the company said in a prepared statement. The employee has been stood down and the company is willing to compensate for the damage that has been done and return the artwork to its original condition.

traitors are indicted or called out as such.
The deplorables know only one way to act, and that is stupid, sometimes it includes violence, sometimes not.

I'd like to point out that that's a Mayan pyramid on his shirt. Not Aztec.
