. Anderson can be seen using a roller to paint over part of the mural while the man says,"We're sick of this narrative."
In video, Nelson can also be heard saying,"There is no oppression. There is no racism. It's a leftist lie."Anderson and Nelson each face two vandalism charges and a charge of"violation of civil rights," according to the district attorney's office. The two face a year in county jail if convicted. Both will be sent a notice to appear before a superior court judge, a process that could take a few weeks due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, said Scott Alonso, spokesman for the district attorney's office. No court date had been set for either person as of Tuesday evening, he said.“The mural completed last weekend was a peaceful and powerful way to communicate the importance of Black lives in Contra Costa County and the country," Becton said in a statement.
Black Lives Matter murals have been painted nationwide during the weeks of protests against racial inequality and police brutality. Places like New York, San Francisco and Washington D.C. havePresident Donald Trump last week called a proposed mural — to be painted in front of Trump Tower — a
those so called murals are considered vandalism but also traffic violations, destruction of city property, and just plain ugly
That’s not a hate crime. Not when you have Black Lives Matter ripping down statues of Union generals. We now have cases of white people being illegally targeted for malicious persecution by the state of California realDonaldTrump FBI TheJusticeDept GavinNewsom TuckerCarlson
This tweet triggered the racists and bigots. Good job 👍
Who vandalized first - just wondering?
Which group vandalized?
Bye bye
So mural is free speech and putting something over it isnt? Also, how many vandals were lockedup in the blm movement and there sure has been a lot of destruction on twitter.
That won’t stick.
And those that vandalized statues get?
Only a white person gets charged with hate crime when it's not a hate crime..Pitiful
All life's matter, on one should be lagging behind
Wow!!
Ha ha GREAT NEWS!
Hmmmm did the 'artist' who painted the 'mural' on public property have a permanent?
, why the 'white' man and woman ? Racism will NEVER end as long as the MEDIA insist on COLOR. How much racism in America was started and controlled by the media ? Think about it. Ask why...
Why do you mention their skin color?
Looting, arson and assault equals peaceful protest. Painting over a mural is a hate crime...
Whites need to wake up!
The county DA only picked hate crime to placate Black Lives Matter. It was at most vandalism.
Who cares
The people arresting them need to be arrested. Its insane
Who are they hating? Destroying BLM actually helps black people.
Bwhahahaha
But the mural painter wasn’t convicted ?
The People pay for those streets. Were they asked if they wanted Marxist propaganda painted on them? No. They had no right to paint it there in the first place!
And tomorrow, others will walk the streets... Stupid Lives Matter... And after them, the Redheads Lives Matter. And then the anti-abortion... , and then the proponents of reptiles... , etc. The U.S. is turning into a trash!

Why?
😡😡😡
One racism has been replaced by another... White, black. Floyd, who is a criminal who threatened with weapon a pregnant woman and robbed her, this Floyd becomes a national hero and only for the fact that some policeman maliciously killed him. It's some kind of madhouse.

Hey, it’s CA.
It’s time we ALL see now that Black Lives Matter. And FINALLY give them the true freedom that they deserve. Yes all lives matter but that won’t be 100% true until Black Lives Matter too! BlackLivesMatter
Great news!
Black Lives Matter is a calling for help. They are saying they need us to ALL realize that Black Lives Matter too! Those who are white have not had the oppression that black lives have had. White lives have always mattered it’s interwoven in our society and laws.
They deserved it 100%! There is a distinct difference between tearing down Confederate statues and monuments that stand for white supremacy traitors who owned and wanted to continue owning human beings, and people putting Black Lives Matter on everything.
Good. Justice ✊🏻 BLM
They should hide from the protesters.
Double standards are glaring. BLM burns cities but these two used some paint and are looking to be arrested. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease
So what about all the Black people who vandalized stores and statues and moments burning and looting? Can we charge theses MFs as well?
everything is a hate crime today.
America matters. Vote republican
BLM has blitzed the minds BUT hardly translated into permanent rules. Directly attacking democracy 'Defund the police' they demanded. Giant murals like these are an eyesore and need to be erased.
As they should!!!!!
Marxist USA Today reporting the race of someone who did something... It's sickening.
Liberal idiocy on display.
How is it a hate crime when they defaced public property to begin with? It's fucking graffiti! California is full of imbeciles. jackwagons
Good.
vandalizing statues，monuments and destroying cities are not hate crime，BLM itself represents hate crime
Why then are these BLM Protesters, no matter what race or color they are, not charged for hate crimes for destroying & defacing historic statues, rioting, looting of businesses, big trucks & trains & burning of people & buildings not charged with hate crimes? Hate goes both ways!
Hate crime? Lmao! Can you say overreaction?
California looks more and more like China.
Well now that BlackLivesMatter Must be Painted in front of That racist scumbag's building. New York should start a motion to close up Trump tower. I mean really he doesn't deserve to freedom he deserves a life in prison.
Vandalism is vandalism.
People are killing each other every day in every city in the country and you’re pursuing hate crime charges against some people painting over graffiti? Lololololololol
I want all vandals prosecuted. This isn’t about my view point but for equity under the law.
It's only going to get worse if the Leftists controlling Biden get into power. Make sure that you show up and vote and bring every person you can with you.
Hmm..but it's cool to burn buildings and destroy monuments.
They covered up a hate crime
But vandalizing statues is okay? Double standard!
I’m not sure many Americans really understood BLM’s philosophy and gudibg principles when protesting.
death penalty ?
So the original vandalism by BLM “protesters” was okay because they were “practicing their first amendment rights?” Isn’t this couple doing the same? This is absolute bullshit.
Good news
Why does him being white have any importance other than your fake news narriative?
Hate crime? I highly doubt that charge will stick. Politically motivated
BLM painted on graffiti on public roads. It’s only fair if other people paint graffiti over the mural.
In three months time theyll be trying to charge anyone who doesnt vote for biden with a hate crime.
Cool.
Is there a gofundme where I can donate to these courageous Americans?
you can now perform a hate crime on an inanimate object that has no ability to feel pain or hate What in the actual F are we doing
Good
All lives matter so get over it
If you're not with us, you're racist. That is where we are now.
