Calling this a "violent act" is absurd. The mural was 5 years old and on an anti-urban bunker of a building. While the subject may have been someone special, the art itself was not, and Midwood agreed to fully fund a replacement. I understand people are hurt by this, and I feel for those who lost someone important to them, but no one's "history is being erased." Find another way to honor Ms. Casarez.

The Minton house, on the other hand, holds far more historical significance and should be preserved.
