A small town in upstate New York rallied to raise money for a mural on a local pizzeria. The patriotic mural simply depicted the American Flag in all its glory. But, just days before the mural was complete, leftist protesters showed up and destroyed it. However, the folks in this small town had the perfect response.
The town of New Paltz, New York, came together recently to show support for a local pizzeria and restaurant. The popular La Bella Pizza Bistro had an old brick wall that needed some refacing. Turning to crowdfunding, local residents rallied the town to raise enough money to beautify the side of the building.
he restaurant, which was across the street from an elementary school, would have a fresh, patriotic mural. The plans were to paint an unfurled American flag, flying through a sea of blue sky. There were no political messages, nothing to offend American citizens. The fundraising was successful and the painting was underway.
It looked as if La Bella Pizza Bistro’s wall would get a much-needed facelift. But, with only days before the mural was complete, disaster struck. Anti-American protesters defaced the mural, splattering parts of the flag with graffiti.
An American flag mural in a small town in New York was vandalized after several protesters started calling for a boycott, claiming it is a symbol of hate and oppression.
The town of New Paltz rallied together a few weeks ago to help raise funds and show support for the patriotic painting proposed by La Bella Pizza Bistro owner Maria Lisante to cover a rundown brick wall on the side of her building, which is across the street from an elementary school. Just days before the mural was completed, it was defaced.

It seems like the protesters — who are, from all appearances, obnoxious teenagers and college students — started boycotting the restaurant because of the mural.
But, pro-flag residents hosted a rally and Flag Walk to support both the restaurant and our flag. Protesters appeared across the street. They dressed in familiar Antifa garb and carried anarchistic-style banners. Other signs had messages like “Our Nation was Born in Genocide” and other left-wing nonsense.
