Does any one have any theories as to why something like this would have been attacked by the city government. I mean if someone made a mural that said "god bless bin lauden" I would expect that they would be screwed with and I would expect the ACLU to have to come to their defense, but I don't get why the LA government doesn't want the mural up??? Any clues, email me... ACLU Defends California Artist |
