Santa Cruz police say they are “pretty confident” they have identified the vandal who threw blue paint across the downtown Black Lives Matter mural in July, and hope to make an arrest within a few weeks.

Big Brother is watching you. Anyhow I'm glad that there is no major crimes being committed so the local police can focus on this
I’m done searching for how to build a plutonium bomb. Just too risky.🤣
Because Graffitti Matters
Vandalized? Meh. Just graffiti artists doing their thing.
Bucket of paint probably fell off a truck.
So they are “pretty confident” they know who it is but it’s gonna take weeks to make an arrest?.......doesn’t sound too confident to me Barney
“A few weeks” is not “pretty close”. It may have been in the search for the green river killer or Ted Bundy, but not paint spilled on the road.
How about a few thousand arrests for the Antifa vandals who tore down statutes they didn’t like and for BLM goons who burned down cities?
They probably don’t have a clue, but they are just trying to appese the ferals to keep them from burning the place down.
I think it would have been hilarious if someone took a paint roller and a bucket of white paint and covered “black” with “white”. 🤣
JULY to almost JANUARY.
Certainly fast work there, Sparky
I guess......every train car in the country has eye pollution in the form of graffiti on ‘em and nobody gives 2 shits.
Defund them.
It must be tough to figure out which of the thousands of right wing extremists in Santa Cruz did this...
Lol.
“MURAL”
MURAL???!!!?
It is not a mural. It is yellow street paint, in block letters in the street.
Just one can of paint?
Really needs to have an asphalt company run one of their prime and tack trucks over the racist graffiti:

Tearing down statues is not considered vandalism, but this is. Insanity rules.
Hopefully, I'll get on the Jury.
Two dudes did burn outs on the BLM graffiti which was painted on a public street. Got convicted of a felony
Nearly 100 community members and activists packed a Santa Cruz courtroom Friday for the sentencing hearing of two men who had pleaded no contest in the 2021 vandalism of Black Lives Matter street mural outside city hall.
Brandon Bochat and Hagan Warner were both sentenced to two years of probation, 144 hours of community service and ordered to pay a combined $19,623 in restitution, far below the $114,000 originally sought by the prosecution.
The money will be split between the City of Santa Cruz and the SC Equity Collab.
Judge Syda Cogliati also gave both men a 90-day suspended sentence, which will allow them to avoid jail time if they abide by the other conditions imposed by the court. The men will also have to attend a class or program on racial or ethnic sensitivity as part of their probation.
They probably know who did it, the problem is that he's the wrong color.
