Washington DC Scenery gets political

Pretty please!!!!

Before the mods themselves get into it, posts start getting selectively deleted, and people make long, supposedly non-political speeches about their political feelings on the matter......

After which it gets locked anyway, after 50 pages of nonsense that reveals more about some of us than I suspect most of us really ever wanted or needed to know on a site we come for enjoyment to talk about toy airplanes.

Well before it get's locked I'll say, All lives Matter, beware of movements for political reasons designed to divide us, support the police, and whole organizations (cops) should not be blamed for what a few idiots do.  Blue lives are that firewall between civilization and savagery, criminals are eating this up.  Be very careful attacking the very people you need to call when your in trouble.  All lives matter here in this forum and everywhere.

WIKIPEDIA:

 

"Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement"

 

One word in the above: POLITICAL

I've just got off Wikipedia after reading that "Washington is an important world political capital"

I wish they wouldn't include things like this in my games. ONE WORD POLITICAL.

Be interesting to see whether it's on Bing or Google at the moment.

It's on both. Google Maps also has the smaller "Defund the Police" line, that was added a little later, I presume.

No "Free Tibet" anywhere? What the Heck! "Tibetan lives matter...too"  🙂

If Bing is getting updated like this there's no reason we should have stale data in other major places in the world.  In may city the data I'm seeing from flying over is at least five years old yet we have updated BLM street signage in DC... Go figure.

They used the latest aerial photography available at the time of development.  Plain and simple.  
 

What is the simplest explanation is usually the truth.

Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
