Jus seems like the Rainbow Crosswalk in Orlando is the same as White Crosses in TV.

Yup, sad, do these people not realize this crosswalk is not their property and does not belong to them (or I). So sad to see roadside memorials or yard signs advertising for that whatever business posted at the beautiful intersections in the Villages and all out disregard for property that is not theirs. I wonder if the ones doing it have their driveway or house painted like this or if I stopped by to paint something on their driveway how would they feel? I would be curious what their employers think about this…….

The rainbow crosswalk was created as a memorial of the 49 killed in the shooting there. If it was not explicitly authorized, it was installed by the state and has been accepted for the last eight years. Accurately characterizing its removal would require making prohibited comments.

The little white crosses were put up without any authorization in defiance of the deed restrictions we all agreed to follow. Not at all the same.

Getting too much attention? Again, a valid response requires prohibited comments.

So millions collected for memorial that never got off ground resulted in cross walk?
