Some protest footage from the weekend here. Sorry, it is a reddit link. https://safereddit.com/r/SaltLakeCity/comments/1im5fqb/salt_lake_city_protest/
Cops calling in backup so they can figure out what the words say.
“none of these words are in the book of mormon!”
Or figure out who they can blame and shoot

This looks like an album cover
Fuckin should be!
Step up!
Alright, this is the time in my life I learn an instrument!
If you want to name your band State of Ut, it’s even got the name and album title already on it.
Incoming Aerosmith single re-release!
And I just can’t see no humour
About your way of life
And I think I can do more for you
With this here fork and knife
Eat the rich
There’s only one thing that they’re good for
Eat the rich
Take one bite now, come back for more
Eat the rich
I gotta get this off my chest
Eat the rich
Take one bite now, spit out the restOr a movie poster
Oh, look! It’s the rich’s enforcers, they found something they bother to investigate…
It’s just graffiti, they’ll quarter-ass it for a couple hours and then give up
In fairness, I have no motivation today. I’ll try to fifth-ass it, though…
“This R2 unit has a bad motivator!”
Uh… everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
This country is so ready to pull out the guillotine. This is in UTAH!! You expect this in new york or Oregon. But utah?!
They’re double dog daring us to. Many are still clinging to the hope we can vote our way out of this in 2-4 years, but at the rate this coup is progressing, how long until that hope gets extinguished and violence is the only remaining option?
You might be surprised how hard a counter culture goes when the prevailing culture is so oppressive.
You can’t have counterculture without a strong prevailing culture. SLC pushes back in surprising ways small and large. Great to see it.
“Whose dog do we shoot about this?”
That’s an amazing photo
It’s pretty amazing. Something about the symmetry of it, the faux-orderliness of the embossed fonts against the stark blue defiant scrawl, the crowd of people in the distance against the few cops in the foreground. The upwards curve of capitol hill building vs the downward curve of the hats of the cops. The blue sky and text imploring clarity and freedom vs the brown uniforms and dead grass.
All of it incidental, but captured like it was a planned painting. There’s more I’m sure I’m missing, but yeah, this is an amazing photo.
Graffiti as appetizer in the feast of late-stage capitalism. Charming how the Capitol’s marble sanctity gets a splash of proletarian culinary advice. Utah’s lawmakers push austerity, then clutch pearls when the menu gets literal.
Revolutionary sloganeering 101: crude, effective, allergic to nuance. Marie Antoinette’s ghost nods approvingly from her guillotine airbnb. But let’s be real—this isn’t vandalism, it’s public service announcements for the oligarchs sunbathing in tax havens.
Keep the tags coming. If they won’t tax the rich, at least let the walls remind them where this hunger games ends.
I’ve seen it from more than one angle now, so I know it’s real, but damn if that isn’t the most AI looking f’ing image…
I thought the same thing. Idk how it can look so fake.
I think the phone they used went ham on HDR.
Makes me think a solid misinformation strategy would be to doctor real photos to look like they’re AI generated.
It’s the almost complete lack of shadows. My guess is there was a very thin cloud cover diffusing the sunlight. You can kind of see this on the right-side officer’s hat shadow.
Aye, it was an overcast rainy day.
Lots of that lately; reminiscent of the cybertruck on fire in front of the trump tower. I absolutely assumed that was ai at first
Contrast was adjusted
Amazing pic hopefully it’s followed by much more like it
This is my cat. Her name is Uta and she hungers for the flesh of oligarchs.
Uta must be satiated.
Uta the destroyer of mice
Mulch the rich. Rebuilding soil will be a key part of mitigating climate change.
Compost the Rich
CTR is a big thing for Mormons. Just let them know we’re repurposing it from “Chose the Right” and the old Utahn punk: “Crush the Righteous” to the environmentally friendly
Compost
The
Rich
Anyone knows the source for this picture? I’d like a higher resolution version of this
It was chalk. Some protesters were upset about the “vandalism.” Right now, the 50501 in Utah is as radical as ham and American cheese on white bread.
