Their Tax Dollars at Work

A local news item on a ribbon cutting ceremony for a community mural got me thinking: how many people never had a chance to see the mural below?

That's a still frame from a video showing city workers steam-blasting the "Thou Shalt Not Kill" mural by Chris Ripke that went up to commemorate the death of Theo van Gogh. I would have linked to a big-time news organization for the full story, but I couldn't find a single one that covered the event.

I wish I had a better picture. I've read online that the white thing is either a dove or an angel; personally, I think it looks like those Romulan ships from the original Star Trek series.

Would that my city dispatched workers to fill potholes as quickly as the Dutch sent a crew to obliterate this thing.
