But BLM can take down which ever statues they want?

TheSingHopeful Wow what bullshit. BLM is a hate group against whites people.

They should be awarded honor medals for eliminating urban blight.

hopefully a minor tremor will swallow the BLM slogan

Black supremacy is more real than white supremacy

All these paintings are ridiculous. They provide insight into the victimhood, most black people don’t want to be identified with.

So fixing vandalism in California is a crime now? You can’t make this shit up! WalkAway

Vandalism is a hate crime now? Banksy should be terrified

It’s only creating a bigger divide among people, everyone take a step back.

They'll just be told to not do it again.

That one disagrees with anarchy and Marxist riots does not make it a hate crime. The organization BLM is a racist, anarchist, Marxist organization, just read its Mission Statement.

Illegal arrest for sure. Going to make some cash off of the city.

'Black Lives Matter’s Violence Undermines Its Credibility'

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! THAT WAS NOT A HATE CRIME! THE HATE CRIME WAS PAINTING THE NAME OF THOSE VILE, RACIST, ANTISEMITIC, VIOLENT GROUP! They are NOT a civil rights group! They are a sick, disgusting, marxist group who acts as the violent arm of the democrap party!

Did all that just to go to jail! 😂

Yall can blame ya boy Trump for this one. Remember 10yrs now cause its state approved design. Trump2020

The racists just snapped the very large stick up their asses lol 😂. Great!! Haha ha ha !!!

The street is a free speech forum now. They were just exercising their free speech.

Covering hateful graffiti is a hate crime?

Why is not liking yellow letters a hate crime?

Without the right values in the people, a democracy is only a confederacy of fools

All this white trash privilege is disturbing. nobodycaresaboutyou

Wait what? Up to a year in jail for a hate crime? Really what kind of BS is that?!?!

Y’all desperately want “I’m white and I say so laws” to have been the play of the day. It must anger the lot of y’all to actually see someone having to face the consequences of their actions.

The hate crime is the BLM painting. It is racist because all lives matter!! Who got arrested for defacing the street with a racist organization and slogan ? Stand up to these thugs America !!!

Can we all have a street named after our oppression? I want one.

This is only making things worse for race relations. I feel all of this from both sides has made us more divided than ever.

What a joke ‘ “black lives matter?” — of course they matter “BLM?” a violent Marxist organization Try to make this distinction between two completely different concepts

Good

So when are they going to charge the people with hate crimes that have pulled down statues ?

They were just myopic Republicans(?)who had no right on basis of colour(?) to overrule a communal action of solidarity. To attribute the protests, (... even though on a long run was hijacked by sly organizations and individuals) to a democratic scheme was 'crass'.

What a fucking joke!

msloobylou MC372 restored and full kerning view 🙂

Hate crime is charge for that.. WWG1WGA

They most likely won't be convicted, but it will disrupt their lives for a bit....😂

Are you serious? This is ridiculous on multiple levels.

Um, what? So it’s ok to graffiti the road in yellow paint but not black paint. Makes perfect sense.

BLM is Black Supremacy, therefore, a hate speech. Painting over BLM is a peaceful way to protest against hate, therefore, righteous. The Federal government should step in to ensure justice here, realDonaldTrump.

Because defacing public property with racist propaganda is completely okay while removing it is a hate crime. 🤡🌎

That's because it should say AllLivesMattter

If i was there, id do burnouts on it until it blended back into the blacktop pavement..

We love to see it

Good.

Black Americans report hate crimes, violence in wake of George Floyd protests and Black Lives Matter gainsHistory has shown that during previous movements toward racial equity, white Americans responded with violence. Across the U.S., Black people have reported incidents of alleged hate crimes, as the Black Lives Matter movement has rallied demonstrators. I’m glad blacks are stepping up & reporting hate crimes against Whites With so many blacks rioting, looting & burning things down. Attacking White people randomly, viciously beating them, harassing and baiting them & recording in order to ruin them is out of control. Yeah just ask Jussie Smollett!
