Default George Floyd mural in Toledo destroyed by lightning.
Anyone else think maybe a higher power is making a statement about worshiping false gods? Of course it was probably 'white lightning'.

The higher power is doing the work that lazy conservatives won't do. Nice!

That's some serious destruction but most of it probably caused by the FD making sure the fire didn't rekindle.

They should have tried just a little harder and took the rest of it down.

The tax appraisal district should increase the value of that property, for taxation purposes, now that the graffiti has been removed.

Unfortunately nothing could increase property values there. You can pick up 2500 sq ft houses for under 10k all over the city, some 5k.

Most of that damage was done by whoever painted that shit on the wall. The lightning helped it.
