SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Members of Santa Cruz Equity Collab gathered on Friday on the Santa Cruz County Superior Courthouse steps following the sentencing of two men charged with defacing the black lives matter mural in front of the Santa Cruz City Hall in July of 2021.
The two men plead no contest and were sentenced to 90 days in the county jail, and ordered to attend diversity and sensitivity training along with paying more than $19,000 in restitution and two years probation.

So they placed graffiti on top of graffiti? And got 90 days?
Absurd.

Dot won’ let me business sign advertise with a sign that encroaches on the right of way.
What gives?
Different strokes for different folks.
Transparent this dis crime in nation
“Two men”
There must be a reason the article author refused to name the perps.
Proves what America already knew. Government acquiescence to BLM is the real face of institutional racism.
Why wouldn’t that be Free Speech? You know, like burning our flag, or destroying our statues.
Isn’t BLM the same lowlife bastards that defaced and tore down many AMERICAN STATUES AND MEMORIALS? Why aren’t those commie bastards in jail?
Amen. The organization, such as it is/was, is run by criminals bent on destroying our nation. They did not have any ‘right’ to tag public property, marking their territory.
“So they placed graffiti on top of graffiti? And got 90 days?”
No, they did a big ‘ol burnout on the street and left an impressive amount of rubber all over that stupid “mural”. Positraction baby!
Agreed, this is completely absurd. Two illegals caught with fentanyl and illegal guns only got 30 days earlier this year. But hey, that’s Santa Cruz county. So glad I escaped that s***hole county and state.
Where are the Federal thought crime charges? Merritt must be off his game, too worried about OrangeMan.
Stiff penalty for graffiti.
If there was any documentation that the paint used is/is not DOT approved road surface paint to counter the charges and force the government to spend monies for remediation of the road surface to bring back into DOT compliance.
The guy who drove the wrong way on a one way road & deliberately drove into 40 Sheriff dept recruits is out of jail.....
$19,000?????
PAINT has gotten more expensive than I thought.
What will they try to do to God for destroying that one burnlootmurder mural with lightening?
But if BLM activists had vandalizes a statue of Christopher Columbus....no biggie.

They better issue the “Directive on elimination of bandits and establishment of revolutionary new order” soon before these counterrevolutionaries become too strong.
Didn’t BLM types deface a church and museum in DC?
Appeal this non-sense all the way to the SCOTUS
