Defending a Child's Mural *
~ by Hénock Gugsa ~

First of all, I have read the whole story of this case.  It is a warm and refreshingly decent tale of a community that was in support of the child and her dad.  Their collective action of concern for the child is very instructive and touching.  I am glad things backfired on the "anonymous" letter writer, and again I repeat he was a coward.  He is far from pacifist because like an arsonist he is hiding in the shadows and starting fires (wars).
You know, the person or people who are offended by the "mural" can also just hose down and wash it off easily themselves rather than berating the action of the little child. Now if the proprietors of that wall were to complain, they would be within their right.  But I don't think they would do it anonymously.  Their letter would probably even have a letterhead. 
Personally, I don't think this "mural" is a permanent blight and anything to get worked about. The wind and the elements will blow the chalk away in a short time.
I think the "drama queen" in this case is the person that initiated the whole thing. Why isn't his action even being questioned?  Now, don't get me wrong ... I am only upset that the complaint against the child's action was done incorrectly, and calling it "awful" was not a helpful statement. 
Come out of the shadows ... if you are right, your light will lead us to the truth.  I bet the complainant is a cranky old goat with nothing better to do than rile people.  Case closed as far as I am concerned!
