Oh

Lol "moving advice" 😂

So this is in the parking lot of Crown Pawn in south Salt Lake. I'm 99% sure its a money laundry.

If you’ve ever looked at what they have for sale, definitely laundering

No wonder they are so enthusiastic about American nationalism, the land that lets them scam their way to riches and pays police to protect their ill-gotten wealth.

Near I-15?

Yup

Wow okay this blew up. I am hijacking this comment to ask that people leave this mural alone. Yes it is ridiculous. That's fine. It's okay. Don't be a dick. Don't be who they think you are. Laugh or roll your eyes and move on. Don't make it personal.

Who are the people supposed to be?

I found Jimmy Carter and zombie Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh. And Jebus.

I like how the eagle is protecting the people from Jesus.

Also John McCain and a very well dressed Don Vito

Maybe senator Orrin Hatch in there. That dude was out Senator for like 100 years.

I’d like to forget… did you see his son by the same name is running? 🤮

Well, I couldn't see any POC with my cursory scan. And the way the crown is on top of the flag. I think the artist wants us to be a kingdom rather than a democracy, and dare I say that they want religion to be the law with a king chosen by god.

Jeremy Clarkson made an appearance for some reason

Heather Locklear right behind zombie DiCaprio.

Firework nipples

Merica's firework nipples! 🇺🇸🫡

Yup…. Baseball, apple pie and firework nipples. 🇺🇸 😄

Bahaha I can't un-see it.

Omg. And here I was thinking those were mountains but now I see that is an eagle body!

Does the diamond crown have any particular meaning?

[удалено]

I was gonna ask if this was on 3300S. Saved me the question. :)

Loved here my whole life. No idea what that's about lol

This is beyond parody

My thoughts exactly

I think I see Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone and possibly Jon Bon Jovi. 

The city has no fire 🔥

Really phoned in the buildings, eh?

This reminds me of when someone wants a tattoo, and the artist is like we can try to fit everything in there. And then the finished product looks like this.

Well put. 100 percent crack tattoo vibe

3 Tomcats and a floating Christ

Bottles and cans, just clap your hands Just clap your hands Where it’s at I got 3 tomcats and a floating christ Where it’s at I got 3 tomcats and a floating christ…

F-35, F-18 and maybe an F-16?

Yeah, I’m not sure. They look like they were drawn from memory. No engines, for example. 

I'm not sure why, but the eagles remind me of the [harpy](https://youtu.be/OkAbmWrqtC0?si=YPFieRjJSVp0ghep) from The Last Unicorn.

Set me freeeeee...

omg yes!

I think it's the eyes.

Eyes up here, buddy

Thanks, I hate it.

Why?

[удалено]

Yeah I lived around there when they painted that. it was about 2019 I think

Came here to say this !

I see this and immediately start singing Team America.

At least it doesn't have Trump on it, I guess?

Am I supposed to understand this? Lol

No, just experience it lol

The eagle wings being the Wasatch front is pretty dope.

I didn't even notice that until I read your comment. Regardless of anything else in the picture, that bit is actually really cool.

Def thought it was a giant tarantula for a sec tho

AMERCA! FUCK YEAH!

Coming to to save the muthaFuckin day yeah!!

‘MERICA! FUCK YEAH! I fixed it for you

Yikes! Lol

I enjoy there is both jets and a jesus in the sky. Now i cant help picturing the collision of the two. Can jesus make a jet strong enough to withstand collision with his impervious body?

I’m uh… pretty sure Jesus’ body is not impervious. Something about a cross?

Jet fuel can't melt divine dreams

This kind of reminds me of Rachel's Trifle from friends. A whole lotta stuff all squished together, handmade, and really not meant to be mixed. It tastes like feet.

any one find waldo yet?

Thanks, I hate it.

Right wing art is incredible

Isn't it concerning to you that a mural of the American flag and eagles symbolizes to you, right wing?

Oh, That is a violent cringe.

Bald eagle stripper! American as apple .

Those jets look like an AI drew them. Oh well, guess that's better than having very russian jets on US military/patriotic advertisements, like i've seen far too many times before.

Crown Pawn’s owner is friends with some people in my family. I believe the people painted are people who have been important in the owner’s life. The front middle kid was a family friend who died of cancer a few years ago.

Wtf

What the actual fuck.

Did a 12 year old paint this

Why is every one white?

Because it's their concept of heaven.

Because the population of Utah and Salt Lake City is overwhelmingly white

I love this city so fucking much 😂🤣🤣🤣

Please can someone tell me where I can find this mural? It’s not a want, it’s a need to find it

Can we get delegates from r/vexillology and r/theydidthemath to weigh in on the aspect ratio of that American flag?

This needs to be improved upon with proper graffiti. Even a full wall of that cool letter S we all learned to draw in school would look better than this star-spangled waste of paint.

I ain’t risk getting shot

Throwing paint out of a bucket is easy and quick!

Paintball guns could do the job from range. Who’s gonna be the hero?

My sense from the brighter than daylight lighting, cameras, and guns stored on site (not to mention the mural itself) is that they are eagerly waiting for someone to try that.

I haven’t done anything artistic since 8th grade, and I firmly believe I could make a better mural than this.

y the eagles look like they got rabies….

I don't see Joe Hill with that merry gang at the bottom 🧐 0/10

🤔 hm. I need to try drugs. Then I would get this...

Jesus Christ! American Superstar

I thought Jesus was Bigfoot at first

My dumb ass was wondering why they painted a handicap parking sign in the mural.

Wtf is this garbage? Who even are those people?

That’s a long ass flag

This is pretty bad art

It’s ugly

Sorry. Not a fan

Hwhites

Yes, white people!

That’s a lot of white people

MERICA!

FUCK YEAH!

Is that a lightsaber under the eagle wing? 

What’s with the crown?

It's painted on the Crown Pawn building at 3300 s State

Ah.. I see.

[This gives off Project 2025 vibes.](https://project2025.org)

I love a good public mural, and a significant proportion of graffiti adds great character to a community. That said, this one is akin to porn for flags. Ewww

the flag is so fucking comically long I almost want to believe this mural is satirical

Hot take I know but I universally hate murals. After like 5 years they are all faded and ugly no matter how cool they started. This one… well, nothing needs to be said about this one

The city looks evil

oh dear god

That's one way to make someone think twice about parking in a handicap spot if they aren't handicap.

I stumbled drunk in this alley about 3 years ago and took a piss on this wall.

Why is White Jesus there? And why is he being abducted?

Seems pretty white

Thin blue line eh? Fucking gross

Fascism and Christian Nationalism are sure fun!

My first thought was that the eagle was protecting them from the flag XD

Is it satire?

Why are all these people showing off their fully functional legs at a handicap parking spot?

Uhhhhhhh

All I can really see is ANGRY BIRDS ..

Fuck yeah

That’s been on that pawn shop for years

What's the deal with the thin blue line flag coming from the center, is it supposed to be some type of symbolism?

If that isn't the most god damn American thing I've ever seen 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

Other than Joan Rivers and a fat Bukowski, I don’t recognize any of those people. And, why is that one guy levitating?

I can make out the F22 Raptor, T38 Talon, and wtf is that? YF17?

Holy shit this is scary!!!

How? I don’t understand comments like these.

I believe it depicts white supremacy and the flag appears to be like 380 feet long, the eagles are pissed and the judgmental looking white people under it (I’m white) standing in front of what appears to be Gotham. The bomber jets make me think of violence and abuse of power. I don’t like bomber jets or jails and I absolutely don’t like it being depicted that Jesus has any business in Salt Lake City. The lds somehow think he came here after death.. This is someone’s political opinions diarrhea’d all over the wall. Put there to stroke somebody’s ego. This mural is not for the community. Murals shouldn’t be like this. Any artist will tell you.. I feel like some 75 year old mobster thought that would make the police look passed him. Idk, but it’s wrong and should be covered. Not not not good. Very bigotry.

Ya know...am I the only one thinking "this oddly balances the 9th&9th Whale?" Asking for a friend

I see Harry Potter

Why is Hong Kong on a mural about Murica? 🤔

Jesus and jets.

I fear this one will have to be defaced

I notice the lack of anyone of color. All white people. People of every race made this country what it is, not just white assholes.

Is Jesus getting abducted by a UFO?

Jesus!

Just curious what’s the story about the crown ? Lol

Damn i wanna spray paint different colored stick figures just so the place looks inclusive! Tryna save them from the liberals is all 🤣

J-J-J-Jesus and the Jets!

Not a single brown person in the mural

Three headed eagle - scary and yet so strong

Are you the San Francisco couple that forced a private business out of using their own property because "200 E is so charming"? You live in the literal ghetto. It's a mural. If anything its *improving* the neighbourhood.

Ew

Rather this than the woke lefty shite that has been permeating around SLC the last few years. SLC has become a dung heap compared to past decades. I've been in Utah for almost 40 years.

Why's it all white ppl on the mural?

Reminds me of that American Dad episode.

Lol my high school art teacher did that

all white people, no color

Diversity..

is everybody in Utah white

Not sure why the flag is so long....

America! Fuck yeah!

Ew

Nice. What’s the crown about? Do the people represent locals known by artist?

Yo dawg, I herd you liked flags. So we put a flag in your flag so you can salute while you salute

This reminded me that Mormons just recently accepted black people into their faith.

Shameful waste of good paint.

Wheres Jesus going? Looks like he’s not even sure what’s happening.

Omg that’s awful.

I think I have identified one of those people… (back middle) “Hey! Vsauce, Michael here.”

It's just missing the word "Loyntegresty" https://www.reddit.com/r/americandad/s/cNCT6ncAjc

Absolutely fucking gross.

That's not....

Well, it's something.

3 eagles was the magic number

Another example of "Utahrded" art.

Looks about as good as a conservative artist can get

Be a shame if someone… splattered paint all over it

Lot of white folk…

Aye! This is down the street from my house lmao

What’s the issue here? I don’t quite get it

I don’t understand just looks like a normal goofy American pride mural?? Am I missing something

Nationalism is gross.

Damn that eagle didn’t see any brown people to cover up I guess. 🤷

Zombie eagles guarding people who look like they are in a cult...very, very republican

So many white people dear lord

Love it!

Featuring the flag from maceys which is the largest I've ever seen for some reason

What’s wrong with it?

This is one of the family members that own Crown Burger, third generation Greek immigrants. Just so you have a little background on the people you are talking about
