FREMONT (CBS SF) — The church and museum at Mission San Jose in Fremont were still being cleaned up Thursday after being vandalized with graffiti last Friday.

The buildings were tagged with anti-colonial messages such as “Ohlone land,” “Catholicism is a colonizer religion,” and “Genocide is not a spectacle” in red spray paint.

Church officials believe the vandalism happened at around 3 a.m. Friday based on what was captured on security camera footage.

A statue of Father Junipero Serra in the mission’s courtyard was also vandalized with red paint and an American flag was also defaced, according to Bay Area News Group.

Mission San Jose was founded in 1797 and was inhabited by Ohlone Indians. An earthquake in 1868 destroyed the adobe church and other buildings. Reconstruction of the church replica began in 1982 and was completed in 1985.

I'm sure that those who did the vandalism were privileged cowardly white boys acting out. Not one injun among 'em.

This is an example of what the Nazi Brown Shirts did to the Jews. So, tell me again who the real fascists are again?

What a shame.

I've been to many weddings, funerals, and Masses there.

Likely the work of Antifa goons; the paramilitary wing of the FBI.

Jeez, I should find out who owns my Grandfather’s old crop duster and go paint graffiti on it and call them plane thieves. I mean, after all my family owned it first and some Spanish farmer bartered it from him. It must rightfully belong to me now.
