Since it was government sanctioned, and it was clearly aimed at one person, it's more harassment than vandalism. Government shouldn't use tax dollars to publicly harass a private citizen. Ever.

Shut up you stinkin golfer....

Yeah kinda what I was getting at...my statement/Q was more rhetorical than literal.
See; the MSM cant say it's vandalism of the BLM writing, if, the BLM writing was never considered vandalism in the first place.

As a citizen, I don't get to run around defacing government sanctioned shit regardless of how ridiculous it may seem.

What DeBlasio did would be the equivalent of having "WHITE PRIDE, WORLD WIDE" painted on the street in front of the NAACP office or in front of Jim Clyburn's house, for example. It would be targeted harassment.

There was a time that we ALL would have opposed targeted harassment of people by government. Now, not so much as long as your team is meting out the harassment. The sad thing about the street painting is, not only did NYC close down a street in a city with too many cars and not enough roads, but the guy they targeted with the harassment doesn't even live there anymore. I'm betting that some or most of the people living and working in Trump tower didn't even vote for him. So those people who have spent a crapload of money to live there, get to look at a public eyesore each time they leave their house or workplace. Irony.

Exactly. de Blasio absolutely, positively HAD to know that this was going to happen. It's like building an expressway that's 8 lanes wide out in the country and setting the speed limit at 20MPH. It should never have been done in the first place because you're asking for retribution and setting people up. The man should be removed from office. And then held criminally liable for not only the damage he caused, but for the damage that followed as a result.

How can someone vandalize graffiti? The people who painted the BLM nonsense did not go through the hearings requirement nor did they get a permit to paint it on the street.

How would someone like the town painting a political statement in front of their building without their consent and without following the law?

In NYC and D.C. they used taxpayer funds to do it.
