No, you did NOT get this story right. That painting, glorifying a Marxist political organization that IS ANTI SEMITIC!!! was NOT authorized. It was graffiti and upsetting to these citizens. They did NOT vandalize. Please be fair. You know the MOB + BULLIES are after them. 😔😠

Vandalized the Vandalize lol

Are they looking for any people who damaged statues too, or thats ok

Irony ... having a hard time not laughing so hard at the utter irony of this “outrage” ...

Good. Video tape them being arrested

Leave them alone! BLM has vandalized our store fronts, tore historic statues down, torn gates to private property down and looted people's stores and they haven't been arrested.

Didn’t they do that as a protest? Why are these media outlets breathlessly trying to catch 2 people who painted over graffiti and not the “protesters” who burned down businesses and toppled monuments?

Painting over graffiti is a public service.

Good for them. Takes courage!

Who cares! It’s a stupid road - it will be covered in oil stains, bird crap, puke, gum and tobacco spit juice anyways. This road it’s going to be subjected to paint again and again 🙄

Isn't that just good old fashioned, 'What Goes Around, Comes Around'?

This is a joke! Right?

How about spending more time on finding out what Blk “peaceful protestors” murdered Hundreds of Blks including children this past week!

bahahahaha.....

No its ok to paint whatever you feel on the streets (new rules)... how can you deface a defacement? This is peaceful protest. Its not like they were tearing down statues, burning buildings, destroying property, beating people in the streets, throwing bricks at police.

Liberal Outlets always make it about RACE. QU: Past 5 weeks -- How many of the THOUSANDS of violent 'black' criminals and 'white' liberal anarchists were prosecuted for burning down and looting minority neighborhoods? For destroying govt property & violent assaults? HOW MANY?

Hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha

Good for them - BLMProtest has torn down George Washington statues - This is only fair.

Yeah I'm sure they are looking real hard. Someone get me a jelly-filled.

Let me get this straight...it’s okay to vandalize and rip down statues but painting over a mural that was an act of vandalism is illegal?💥

To give them a medal ?

If they were carrying a BLM banner and shot someone how quick would the police get on that?

Wonder if they are spending time looking for people who did this

But no arrests in the removal and damaging of historical statues

but no time to go after looters

I applaud that patriotic man and woman destroy all black lives matter propaganda

That was not a memorial that was graffiti

To give them an award!

Lol BLM don’t like it when their stuff is vandalized lol what hypocrites don’t want your stuff vandalized don’t vandalize others stuff karma is a witch isn’t she lol 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣oh the irony

Frederick Douglas could not be reached for comment...

Good for the couple. I hope the police protect them

This is a crime against the humanity, that destroy statues, rewrite history and do not work. Yeah, they spend all their time protesting, can't have a work, who is paying this 'people

It's ok for protesters to vandalize, tear down statues, loot stores, but painting over a mural - get a grip. Isn't that a peaceful protest. It goes both ways, you know.

Q: how hard are they looking?

A man and a woman vandalized a mural.. got it!!

Just good old protesting, right or works both ways?

Let’s set up a go fund me account for them!! AllLivesMatter

Their vehicle and license plate was visible on video. I saw that and I am not a cop. You guys should have had them by now.

Look for the luxury car. Wait....

I wish the media spent just as much time reporting on the vandals that defaced the Fredrick Douglass monument.

Evry single BLM symbol should B painted over, as it represents nothing more than Black Criminal Culture!!

It is a fucking joke to looking for somebody who painted over a mural on the street when you have people running wild destroying buildings and they don’t care

Youre kidding right? The police won’t protect its people or protect its National monuments but should protect a stupid mural. “ In the last days what’s wrong is right and right is wrong” Repent

So called statues of people who killed, raped people and wanted slaves..get real! But so you sleep at night you justify it by saying vandalising a precious statue.

Totally BS BLM murals must come down ripped tore be trashed there’s no way they be around it’s all propaganda of leftist ideology...good thing we’re not NK or China coz these Mfs should be in jail the BLMs!!!

Scroll down for all racist pigs having a ball in the comment thread below

they Found him!!

That's about half of the californians that fall under the title 'Susspect' ! !

Black lives matter, so don't play with it

Oh please the mural was it a real one commissioned by the government or the city. If not it just a painting to mark territory.

Good the stautes in GA of MLK they said is next

Looks like a peaceful protest to me

WTF cares? Zero.

How many buildings have been vandalized by the BLM painting their hate & racist messages on them.

Toure go

Oh, so its ok for blm to vandalize stuff but not for anyone else? Fake news! F off usatoday! Trump2020

Awww...

They should be arrested.

Are the BLM people offended? Good!

If someone had just called them while they were spreading the paint out they would know.

Just double standard🤔

I’m sure not very hard though

Didn’t they record the plate number?

Karen & Darren.

Awesome 😎 They should be congratulated.

LOL...vandalism is a crime again? They were just protesting.

Why are they looking for the protesters who vandalized public buildings, set cars and businesses on fire, and looted businesses? No they're busy looking for a couple who cleaned up graffiti

So this memorial is a untouchable but all others can be destroyed spray painted etc and that’s just peaceful protest. I call bullshit on the bullshit.

Why don’t they look and find theses MFs who are destroying property and statues and moments? Start with those POS

To be expected, after Trump's inflammatory speech. Trump and Stephen Miller would applaud the action of the White folks.

Got a twenty in the US Grant vandals in San Francisco?!?

More ignorant stupidity from people who don’t know anything that is going on in the world right now

Vandalized? It's the summer of love fest. No vandalizing..

BLM is like the beginning of a race war.

Change your name to Communism today. You don't deserve the USA in your name!

Interesting. And how much time & resources are they expending to find, arrest & prosecute those responsible for destroying public and private property? You can say this is about race, but the facts tell a very different story... and it is not about race.

Don't worry, they're protesting, so it's all good. 👍

They can give it but can’t take it.

BLM has destroyed, businesses, looted, burned, torn down monuments, burned our flag and destroyed every single day for months with no arrest !

No laws were broken! Waste of time!

To USA TODAY : Why don't you report on all the vandalizing, theft/looting, destruction, arson, terrorism & even murder that BLM's have been committing in great magnitude all over our country?

The police have the license plate If the couple was black, the popo would have already found them

.....and the tables turn.....

What happens if I urinate on the mural?

Is the mural federal or state property?

I thought vandalizing and destroying whatever we want was ok in 2020.

Ill donate to the gofund me account for their lawyer fees.

I hope they get away.

Blm didnt vandalize first?!?! Why isnt police looking for then?!?!

I I find them, I’ll buy them a beer.

Interesting that vandalism of public property is now suddenly bad. For the past several weeks it has been celebrated.

But they defend the police

He was correct.

Lollll this is the laugh I had today Thank you xo

I thought vandalism was okay this year.

So now vandalism is a problem?

Her name is Nicole Anderson

Boo hoo.

The hypocrisy of hunting down the people doing the good work of cleaning up graffiti while hundreds of vandals are given a pass to tear down public monuments/statues. NoCountryForWhiteMen EndTheHateSeparate

Oh, but it's okay to vandalize memorials and tear down statues!

Isn’t vandalism ok? Can’t we just tear down murals we don’t like?

Kudos to this woman, stay strong lady.

Authorities have been thwarted by the fact that they only have the perpetrators on HD video, along with their vehicle, and the exact license plate number. Beyond that, they are stumped.

Good these terrorists should go back to eating crayons

Rumour has it they dropped one of these on their escape:

Also: Mob vandalizing monuments and toppling statues, the latest in Baltimore, anyone looking for them? Or are we just after the 'white man, woman'?

Why do they want to catch them? To give them an award? It is okay to spray paint on a wall...aka graffiti but if you spray over graffiti with other graffiti it is a crime? AllLivesMatter

Put her face front and center

If I was one of the police I would act like I'm all over it while sitting in my car eating a sandwich.

To shake their hands I hope.

Jesus crist

How does it feel

Let me get this straight they permit people to take down historical statues & spray paint all sorts of property, but somehow it seems that there needs to be an investigation into the defacing of a mural of a convicted deceased felon. Let that sink in.🤔

What about all the statues vandalized? Are they looking for those criminals as well? People need to respect others' property!!!!!!

Ha ha, who the F cares...

Karma

Why they did community service!!!

How in the world have they not found them yet? It’s almost as if the police....don’t care.

Maga idiots!!

Oh my, different when it happens to them?

Yet you can’t say vandalize when criminals pull down a statue of Columbus. But there is no liberal media bias.

So, are they tracking down the vandals who desecrated President Grant’s statue?

Meh it really does kinda suck when some comes along and ruin your statues and landmarks now doesn't it 🤔😏

I knew it was coming! Good!

If you really like colors so much, then why don't you mention that the driver who hit the BLM/antifa rioter on a freeway in Seattle was BLACK?

If they can deface statues, monuments, pictures than people can deface black live matter. fair is fair

They should be pretty easy to find since their photos and video are Ll over social media. They also got their tag numbers.

Jajajajajajajaja

Oh so THAT is vandalism? BLM/antifa, go to hell

It's only property. Insurance will cover it.

As long as they were wearing masks...

Vandalize Marxist Mural: “police want to speak with you” Burn down cities and destroy monuments: “yawn” 🤔

Thugs

Boo hoo...

Spartacus
