2020 Miscellany #15

This had been bare metal and rust. It is much better with paint.

Breonna Taylor
Taylor was an emergency room technician in Louisville Kentucky.   On 13 March 2020, three policeman broke into her apartment. She was shot dead. Her family wanted answers, which were not forthcoming. A demonstration of protesters on 28 May turned violent. Part of the impetus was the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on 25 May.

This painting is on the wall of an apartment building that is listed for demolition. A stretch of buildings on West 25th are to be torn down.

 a short line to vote from a queue of cars
My ballot came Saturday. I filled it out during half time of the Notre Dame game. Going downtown, Sunday morning, saw a flashing portable sign telling which exits to take to get to the Board of Elections. There were orange metal signs on the street. Had to exercise the franchise to do my effort to save the Democracy. Ohio has a Repuke Secretary of State who only allows drop off boxes at BofE property. In Texas the Repuke governor only wants one box per county, doesn't matter if the population is in the hundreds or millions. So Cuyahoga's additional box is on the sidewalk of the BofE. Repukes want to limit the vote, as in 2000 when the vote became 5 to 4.
