2 arrested over allegedly defacing BLM mural in California

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Police in Northern California arrested two men over allegedly vandalizing a Black Lives Matter mural painted on a street in Santa Cruz.

The men allegedly took turns performing burnouts with their vehicles along the mural on a downtown Santa Cruz street, defacing it with tire tread marks. The mural had recently been repainted in celebration of Juneteenth, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported Sunday.

Santa Cruz police officers on Sunday arrested a 20-year-old and 19-year-old, both of Santa Cruz County, on charges of felony vandalism and conspiracy to commit a felony. Both were released on bail.

Both young men were convicted of a felony

Seeing things like this let’s a person know that insanity rules. “Good is bad, bad is good”

Paint on asphalt? Art.
Skid Marks on paint, not art?

I’m glad those teens had the courage to exercise their 1A rights. Hope they inspire more rejection of the failed culture being sold by the Left.

Hope these kids are let go without a felony hanging over them. Absurd level of punishment given the billions of dollars damage from BLM protests- especially when it appears no one was held accountable for it.

If it’s not supposed to have tire marks on it, why put it on the street? Is it simply to jail people?

Russian name.

Washington state has, or used to have, the second largest Russian immigrant population in the USA.

Metropolitan New York City has, or used to have, the largest.

Geez. This turd world country is really screwed up. You can kill someone these days and get a maximum of 8 years. Run over a fag symbol and you get 10 years. I knew this was going to happen once the Nazi politicians legalized drugs. The BLM fags sure screwed it up when they had the dumbass politicians painting pictures on the roads like a bunch of Head Start rookie kids. ROADS ARE FOR SKIDMARKS!!! GAS STATION TOILET WALLS ARE FOR FAG MURALS!

that’s gonna make them feel real nice about the LGBTQ+++ defectives. They can sit in prison and just go to graduate school on how to be a better criminal..... they will reap what they sow.... but hey, Go Pride!!!!

I love the democrat inclusivity and all of us should join the groups that support the DEI. We should participate in all manner of DEi support and democrat party activities.

Make sure that you become a vital part of the DEI activity in your areas. I even donate a little money to make sure I’m part of the group.

Blasphemy laws still exist; only the deities being protected by them have changed.

It seems to me that if government resources can be used to paint an advocacy symbol on the street for one group of people, they would have to do the same for another, such as a group that wanted “In God We Trust” painted on it because diversity, equity and inclusion.

How is a ROAD a place for a political message? It’s dirty, cars drive on it, they BRAKE on it. How can marks on the road mean you’ve committed a CRIME? Did tax dollars pay for this? Even if not, it is a PUBLIC ROAD, and shouldn’t be used for politics.

That said, THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THEY USED THE ROAD. They’re fascists.

Howabout we put the people responsible for trashing the place with a homosexual symbol. Ten years sounds about right for that heinous crime.

Give the kids a medal and call it a day.
