Atlanta police identify man accused of defacing rainbow crosswalks with swastikas

On Friday, a man was arrested by Atlanta police after allegedly spray-painting swastikas on rainbow crosswalks in midtown.

He has since been identified as 30-year-old Jonah Sampson.

According to the City of Atlanta Police Department, Sampson is accused of defacing the rainbow crosswalks on two occasions, once on Wednesday and again on Friday.

The crosswalks, which sit at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 10th Street, were installed following the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.

As Fox News reports, a spokesman for Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens called the incident "disgusting," and applauded those who worked to remove the swastikas.

Sampson, who is also suspected of defacing the Federal Reserve Building, faces three charges of second degree criminal damage to property, one count of criminal trespass and a felony charge of interference with government property.

So let me get this straight. These public crosswalks were previously defaced with homosexual rainbow emblems and this patriot took umbrage and added another symbol on top. Is that about the size of it?

So why was defacing the crosswalk, which is offensive to me, acceptable, yet this guy couldn't do the same thing?

Again with this ongoing pattern of two justice systems. It goes without saying that I oppose swastika symbols, but I also oppose homosexual symbols too. Unequal justice is NO justice.

Yes, a 2 tier justice system. Very UN-American. Only creates more resentment and division.

Not a patriot. More likely than not, he’s gay.

WOW Those white nationalists sure have the Camouflage down perfect!

No one would suspect he is “Whiter than white!” (stole that from a 53 year old AJAX commercial)
