The ground is wet there like it just rained, I wonder if this is the first time it’s rained after he put it up. Maybe he used paint that washes away, exactly for this reason.
They completely covered it in plastic foil, put barricades in front of it and two guards to prevent anyone seeing it. It did definitely not get washed away by the rain. It existed for 3 days and was covered for most of that time.
Yeeah. A painting of those guards standing infront of a pile of food and infront of the guards a group of starving kids. Thats the kind of grin im seeing here. “Aww you wanna live? You wanna not get genocided? Well guess what, we dont give a fuck!”

That would belittle the powerful message being sent here - a peaceful protest about a peaceful protest being repressed is being repressed.
Also I assume there were a ton of cops around the guy.

Thanks for the info. I thought I was probably wrong, but banksy has done some crazy stuff in the past so I was hopeful.
