A George Floyd mural in downtown Houston was defaced Thursday with a racial slur. The artist later painted over the hateful message.

Such a slap in the face saying he represents black people!!

Tear them all down! Buy cheap paint and pour it all over this so called art.

[magrittedeau]

the mural has no real value to begin with because its a false cause

Congrats to George Floyd for being a year sober.

Why not paint a mural of someone with substance like B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland or Muddy Waters instead of some thug.

[johntracy]

Some people just don't like someone that assaults women and passes $20 counterfeit bills and then resist arrest and dies of fentanyl overdose during that resisting arrest, , , , or maybe Jesse's Smollett or bubble Wallace is in the Houston area with the social justice everyone have a beautiful weekend, , , , golfing, , , , water skiing, , , , camping, , , , whatever makes you happy, , , , 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

saw a comment "So much time and energy went into it's creation, it was sad to see it destroyed in moments" - I wonder if the person was talking about the businesses destroyed by the looters and rioters?

[rickcilps]

I really wish I could thank that person for defacing George Floyd mural

[mason]

Good I hope it happens over and over again. I’m not gonna put a drug addict criminal up on a pedestal.

[EddieFelson]

Honoring a criminal thug what a disgrace

[tinoromero]

Talks about he's crimes and about he's victims. I can't believe the a monster became a hero !!!

[oakinvestment]

Sorry guys I let Jussie out of his room again, my bad

[joeysludge]

I never knew tagging over paint would make news coverage, yup this country has a problem.

[AtlasReburdened]

Uh oh, did Jussie's handler lose track of him again?

[oltorf]

what crime exactly was committed? this is how graffiti works

[ManBearBullShark]

I dont see the point of defacing that mural and on the same point I dont see the point of the mural either.

[doodooman]

But feel free to vandalize or destroy ALL the historical monuments you'd like to with absolutely NO repercussions!!!

[liltox]

With those lips and nostrils, how was it possible for him to not breathe?🤔🤔🤔🤔

[antman]

What we need to do is power wash it off and enforce the law regarding vandalism because I have a hard time believing they got consent from the property owner and even then, we shouldn't honor and idolize bad people and pretend as though being killed somehow means none of the shit you did in your life should go into how people judge the kind of person you were.
