Vanessa Bryant shared pictures of untouched Kobe and Gianna murals on her social media page Monday night … most with heart emojis and captions expressing gratitude.

Social media users have issued threats of violence for any kind of Kobe art tampering in the future … with one Twitter user even writing, “tagging over a Kobe mural is asking to catch a 6pc w a side.”
