A White man and a White woman who allegedly painted over a California community's Black Lives Matter mural this weekend are each facing a hate crime charge, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
David Nelson and Nicole Anderson are each charged with three misdemeanor counts, including violation of civil rights, vandalism, and possession of tools to commit vandalism or graffiti, the district attorney's office said in a statement. The incident happened soon after the mural was painted in front of the courthouse in Martinez, California, on July 4."We must address the root and byproduct of systemic racism in our country.
Why?
Good! They deserve it!
Lock their butts up after they are charged for the restoration cost.
That is just political correct now days. Gov has no own thought or judgement but driven by public opinion. And public most time are biased and emotional
ScottFordOhio It’s not a hate crime to be an anti-Marxist.
Bet they didn't see that coming
How are you charged for a crime for literally cleaning up vandalism? That's some crazy leftist laws
Yeah it’s a hate crime! This is literally the definition of hate. idk why this is even a question if you’re against the movement you’re a hater if you vandalize property it’s a crime= HATE CRIME!
Painting over a hate symbol is a hate crime😂🤣🇺🇸
Can you write about the BLACK man and BLACK woman that's assaulted the 84 year old Hispanic man for his wallet inside the superior grocery store in California while you're out here race baiting?
KKK promise reload this game
If charged, it should be for street littering. Hate crime IS irrelevant.
Prosecuted because of their race.
ALLlivesMatter and yes bluelivesmatter is all that needs to be said..
cnn how can it be alleged when there’s visual evidence and the offenders are making statements of hate. Journalists and journalism is dead!!
Racism is a disease and it is a crime
If the words were there with a permit, they should have left it alone. It’s not just “their” town.
So that's a hate crime now, not actually killing someone based on race
I love that it’s “allegedly” even though there’s video of them doing it.
I am getting paperwork for citizenship in Spain. Just in case.
How much longer we going to talk about this?! We know they did it, they are getting in trouble over it and let’s move on. They knew what they were doing because they are jerks and know paying the price so let’s move on.
You are so evil.
F. U.
theodoricofyork It's going to take MOUNTAINS of fired Karens before they finally get the memo, apparently.
seems like we need education camps to send folks to... where they can study remedial art of basic humanity
This, but a white woman gets shot in the head by BLM activists after replying to their BLM shouts with All Lives Matter. Will it get charged as a hate crime more than likely not. Not only that the MSM will bury the story.
It’s no more a hate crime than the original painting. This is the kind of bs that we have all had enough of already!
Hate crime charge? After all the destruction and looting and violence fro blm? Haha bunch of stupid losers. This is exactly why Trump will win overwhelmingly in November. You people have zero sense of right and wrong.
I don’t see how it’s “allegedly” when they were literally recorded doing it.
These people have too much time in their hands. Go do something more productive like volunteering.
That is so wrong. We are headed for a civil war fueled by the media and the Black Lies Matter assholes.
I agree with BlackLivesMatter but isn't a hate crime to destroy and ruin historical monuments?
Why use the word allegedly? They did it. Fact. There is a vídeo. BlackLivesMatter
Tired of all these paintings on roads
Cleaning vandalism is a crime.
Unbelievable!
Seriously unbelievable
Wow. Just wow.
The yellow paint was the hate crime !!
Why would they not arrested for writing black lives matter as an act of vandalism?
“Allegedly”... isn’t the picture you used to accompany the headline a still image from the video of them doing it?
Trump unlike 2016,would beat Biden hands down.Whites are the majority,and you are falling into traps,all blacks can't vote Biden either.Biden 50% blacks
So apparently having actual video and photos of them in action is 'allegedly'. Sure. Dumbass.
If BLM is allowed to be painted over a public place, why can't anyone who is offended by it be allowed to paint over it?
Trumpism is hate.
Useless charges that would be thrown out. What happened to Smullet?
I’m sorry, allegedly?
I'm a liberal, but honestly find hate crime laws to be a bit stupid. Its hard to prove intent (ie, person killed another person because of race, sex, etc) and many crimes involve hate towards another human being, but aren't treated as such. Not sure why one is considered worse.
Good. But if you have video of them doing it why is it “alleged?”
It is a vandalism to paint in public places. Weather BLM or not.
Pathetic
This charge is insane...Everyone lives in a free country...
👏
What is hate crime?
keislingDave Bloody hell what a joke. Hardly hate
Everyone knows black is the colour of black people! It's insulting to all of us using yellow! We are not cute funny yellow slaves for S. Overkill!
GIVE THEM A REWARD!
White man? White woman? No description necessary except for Fake CNN.
Hmmmm, hate crime ist hard to belive, but still... some people don't think
And yet you still won’t report on the hate crime murder of JessicaDotyWhitaker
I don't believe that'll hold up in court. Instead of focusing on boosting your name for later date. How about charging them appropriately? 1.Defacing government property. 2.Working on city/state roadway w/o a permit. 3.Attempting to incite violence. Etc.
Allegedly
CNN you are becoming as classy as The National Enquirer and STAR
Painting BLM is not racist but paining over it is? Got it? This is free speech.
A hate crime? So One group of people can paint murals on streets and when another removes it they are charged with a crime? That is preposterous.
Hate crime for what Cleaning the garbage off the street!
Hopefully someone has started a go fund me page for these two patriots.
A hate crime ? Against a tax payer provided road? BLM is a hate group. They have murdered more innocent unarmed people in a handful of weeks than PD have criminals in decades. Here's the latest Burn Loot Murder victim.
So you mean to tell me that after a week these people are still at large? Could it be that no one is actually looking for them and the charges are rhetoric only to placate
That's a vandalism crime, NOT A FUCKING HATE CRIME!!
Racist can't believe this is a hate crime.
You mean BLM stains with graffiti the street and this Ppl clean go out of their way to clean the street and take it to its original state... And they're charged with doing the graffiti? Vandalism? Hate crime? This Democrat upside down rules they expect us to Vote in Nov?
More race politics from the masters of lying
Can you show the hate crime prosecution's brief for DELETE LETTERS on a road? You must first define what is the intention when writing them?
They were just cleaning up.
They should have added 'White and' before the text.
Wow.... I'v lost hope for this society, a hate crime? Seriously?
1984
Does the Trump 10-year sentence plan apply here or nah because they're white.
Who cares about this couple's color? I could care less....but leave it to CNN to make it an issue. Good for this couple. I admire their COURAGE, something of which America is in short supply. I hope it is contagious. Maybe some of us that love America will catch it.
No comment until 23 and Me results. I heard they were 0.4% East African Jewish
Mural? Block letters on a street are now an art form? Give me a break....Hate Crime? Total Bull.
So, rioters can spray paint buildings, monuments, police cars and get away with that vandalism, but, a person gets charged with painting over a painted street?!? Sounds very racist!
The fear of being racist is how racism will be toppled rootoutracism
They should be given medals.
Dumb du dumb dumb dummmmmmb
LOVE TO SEE IT
Clown World. Homk Honk. JusticeforJessicaWhitaker
4 ATTACKS ON CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN LAST 48 HOURS AND YOU ARE REPORTING ON THIS?
BECAUSE they are bullsh!t artists NOT real news networks.... right
allegedly?! they were caught on video.
Defacing public property painting BLM is not a crime.
Considering BLM really isn't about black lives since they don't give a damn about children being murdered in the inner cities, these people did the right thing. Besides, BLM is a Marxist group dedicated to overthrowing the US government.
White people get caught for their racist acts . I love to see that more often .
They did the right thing. Blm did the wrong thing by defacing a city street. Racist bastards blm
They should mind their own business. White people need to put themselves in the diversity of America. And feel it.
This is political apartheid. Selectively enforcing laws only against political rivals. Disgusting
Someone suggested painting MAGA in front of Gracie Mansion. I believe they are trying to get a permit to do it.
They will be charged with not bowing down to the rioters. It's a new law. Right ?
The black lives matter sign IS THE ONLY HATE CRIME.
What 'allegedly'
eadyIofficial Hihi
Stop the world I want to get off! Ok breathe in breathe out . Step back and paint this: “We are all God’s Children”
😂✊
Good, they need to learn their racism won’t be tolerated.
A young Indiana mother was shot dead in front of her fiancé after she reportedly told a group of Black Lives Matter supporters 'all lives matter' over Fourth of July weekend.
It will get thrown out of court. And cnn wont mention it.
Defacing public property? Yes. Are they ignorant assholes? Yes. A hate crime? I don’t think so.
Terrorist
Because they don't like marxist revolutionary groups?
The Contra Costa County DA must be removed from office and disbarred.
BLM should be charged with hate crimes for CONSTANTLY murdering their own children and people ( including infants shot in the face) in the street EVERYDAY..and it's only getting worse.they love it and it is DISGUSTING!
Bullshit. No crime involved. It's grafitty.
How is it a hate crime? Isn't it more appropriately a disagree crime.
Why is 'white man and woman' in the headline'? Are white men and women not allowed to put their political message on top of another political message? Do white people not have freedom of speech now? Is CNN supporting that? If so, EnemyOfThePeople
That ain’t gonna stick in court. The vandalism charges are legit thought. The DA is overcharging here, and it damages credibility.
The the citizens of the city all get to vote on whether or not BLM had the right to paint that sing in the street ? BLM painted on a public road is very offensive to a lot of people
DoubleStandards
Why? you can graffiti, Why I can not print it over? Ridiculous....
EVERYONE WHO IS OFFENDED BY BLM (black lives don't matter) other wise all the shootings and deaths they would say something. EVERYONE GRAB YOUR PAINT AND START COVERING UP A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION SYMBOL OR SIGN. ,,START PAINTING TIME TO STAND UP!!!
they're no criminals but clean-conscious and law abiding folks
How is this a hate crime !!!
Ridiculous and say that the authorities embark on it 🤦♂️
BLM is a Marxist front. I applaud this Martinez couple for standing up to the blatant hate infecting this nation from those who hate America. This bs isn't about actual black lives. If it was it would be for ALL black lives. Because it's not - it's communism dressed in black.
And that is bullshit. They are covering up grafitti in the streets. They are doing the community a service
To all the people wondering why it was a hate crime. Did you watch the video
Liberals think they’ll love the future of citizens ruled by a mob. Some of them will realize they ruined America, and some will convince themselves to like it. Can’t wait to see what Marxism and entitlement culture brings
Good
Yes it's a hate crime because of what they're painting over. They're making a hate statement.
Get a grip on yourself
How about they are made to take a classes learning Black American history with a test at the end and then they have to justify what they did and why the should not have in an essay to read in Washington to a Black Lives Matter rally.
blm has increased racism, increased media attention, increased confusion, increased hypocrisy and it will back fire, creating a new era called idiocracy
Why because they hate paint?
Useful idiots should be put in jail
How is it a hate crime, fricken idiots
Should not be hate crime charges ...vandalism at most. A misdemeanor at best.
Since when is it legal to paint anything in the street other than DOT specifications for traffic control You want to send a message use a billboard not the street
Defacing public property and restitution for new paint.
The mural was done with permit the defacing it was not.
Every life on this earth matters. God has commanded us to love one another. Due unto others as u would do to yourself. There is evil in the whole world and it will continue until the Lord Jesus returns. Instead of complaing thank God for our blessings.
Horseshit
CNN is itself a troll
They were just trying to fix some graffiti right?
Who is the victim of this “crime”?
How stupid she is vkesning a mess up and she gets fined we’re is everyone’s common sense
Charged? I wonder,which side is pleased with this?another example ,even white people should be afraid of this justice system..
A hate crime yet these protesters are vandalizing our statues and tearing them down. Come on now!
Defacing public property?
Good to see that the DA is wasting tax payer money on something that will either get thrown out completely or overturned on appeal to score political points with a bunch of spoiled fucking children who have no concept of history or nuance. AllLivesMatter FuckYourBullshit
Your next question should be: How long will it last before the one in front of Trump Tower get defaced and will that be prosecuted as a crime in NY
The sentance should be to paint Black Lives Matter murals all over “her” town.
bLaCK pAiNt? Yeah this was a hate crime.
In my humble opinion, I think HATE CRIME is a bit steep! Something like DEFACING PUBLIC PROP OR similar with a BIG FINE.
Black lives Matter
How can this NOT be a hate crime, is a better question.
The fact that this community would paint this on the street is just adding to the division. If the BLM script was legally bored on and placed there then vandalism. If not CNN should not use the term vandalism. BLM has not proven to be a very reputable bunch
picbykap 😀 RacismInAmerica
Charge as a hate crime, until they learn white privilege takes a back seat.
Not a hate crime, just stupid vandalism
A “ hate crime” I’m Black. Painting over a mural may be vandalism, but a hate crime? We’re going to trivialize true hate crimes if everything we don’t like that some white person says or does gets classified as such. Bombing churches is a hate crime. Lynching is a hate crime.
I'm all for the BLM paintings on the street but I don't see how painting over them is a hate crime. Seems to me like that should only be used when there is a specific victim, such as in the disturbing number of lynchings we've seen recently.
Does anyone at CNN have a dictionary? Painting on a road does not a mural make
Sounds kind of harsh for vandalism. I’d opt for vandalism of public property with a sentence of wearing a “Black Lives Matter” tee shirt in public for a week or two.
Defacing public property. Isn’t that a 10 year sentence now? These murals are part of our nation’s rich cultural history now, aren’t they?
Give em both a couple days jail time and a fine. Let them think about what they did and their personal cost. If they do anything similar again, jail them longer.
BLM is a political party now. Therefore why not paint the Republican Party and Democrat party symbols as well.
Allegedly 🗣🗣🗣 THEY GOT THEM ON FUCKING CAMERA DOING IT!!!!!
I am a healthy mix of multiple races. Most people are confused as to what nationality I am when they first see me. I am human. But my gut feeling because of the timing is that it is a racist crime.
Fake news , ALL lives matter
They got the attention they wanted. Probably thought a video would be all that would come of it and I’m sure they’re MAGA heroes now
This wasn’t a crime against an individual so how could it be a hate crime?
Justice
Why are we so scared to say what they did? Eff them. Not alleged. We say them on the video talkin shit and painting. THey WERE hateful.
Did the community vote to put the mural there?
Hopefully the Karens will start to leave ppl the f alone .if ya really believed all lives matter ya wouldn’t get so uptight about black lives matter protest against police brutality &murder of black ppl without consequences even with the video proof. Take chill pill! Not opiates
I'm so sick of this hate crime nonsense. If they're free to paint it, others are free to paint over it, it's really that simple.
The people who defaced the public roads with graffiti should be arrested.
Lol
Good deal. Book 'em!
The BLM supporters should paint their message on their lawns, on their houses and on their Foreheads, but please don't de-face the roads we all share.
The streets should be painted with the colors of unity. Not until we get to that, they should remain dark.
Hate crimes maybe they were trying to undo the graffiti on city streets
I’m pretty sure and person can hate Marxism and communism.
I wonder who they voted for.
Please. How would anyone feel about this painted in front of their property ?
FakeNewsMedia CNNFakeNews Since you had to highlight their race. They were going to paint ALL LIVES MATTER ! I can't wait for the lawsuits to come flooding in and your company crumbles :)
BlueCherubSky Right but if I went out and sprayed some art or the law would call it graffiti I would get charged for it as they would say it's an offense but when blm do it pushing political divide tactics its lawful but illegal 2 clean it up insane jus fukn insane fukn idiots aaaaaaaàààaahhhh
Interesting... basically the US decided to invent a new form of regime: progressive fascism...
The mural itself is a hate crime and defacement of government property.
There is some Justice at least
Hahaha hate crime indeed
So you can only express 1 opinion. Is this democracy?
Thats more important than this You are without souls and will go down in history as the worst propaganda outlet in American history.........we ALL remember and we have kicked out the weak, you need to deal with the strong “silent” now
What the fuck why r they
Some people have hate in there genes😷
These city leaders are politically driven and totally corrupted. They need to be removed!
“Allegedly”? Were they not caught on camera
As a journalist, surely you should challenge this irresponsible interpretation on 'hate crime'? Imagine if defacing or altering an image of your nemesis Trump was a hate crime...you happy with that? Because that is the precedence that's been set here.
Not all of us believe in the Marxist BLM. Why are our rights being trampled on. Who voted and authorized to have the graffiti painted on the street in the first place.
Like why didn't the people who painted that ghastly yellow on a public road get charged for vandalism to begin with
WLM
Everyone knows CNN is just another trash channel. Next.
So you can deface the road, but you can’t remove the defacing? That amount of paint and a bit of rain at a stop street could be lethal. I thought the human race was intelligent but there’s daily proof to the contrary.
We're sick of this narrative, that's what's wrong,' the man said in the video. 'The narrative of police brutality, the narrative of oppression, the narrative of racism, it's a lie.' Yep, real fine folk.
Good
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Jesus Christ, this reeks of communism.
Allegedly? It's on camera!
She did good job !
Painting over a racist mural and liberals punish them. Wow! Liberals are so racists they can't see the hypocrisy. God bless 🇺🇸
Looks like two outstanding white citizens cleaning up graffiti to me, the City should reemburse them for their time and materials.
Lock them up
Allegedly? They were caught on camera!
They have equal free expression to paint over it.
If ppl painted over an “all lives matter” sign, they would be given a prize
Jail
The American Way, Drop a load of Sand on it Before it attracts to much attention from the Moon !.
They now call graffiti a mural 😂😂😂
It's a hate crime to paint over graffiti with graffiti?
They were not suppose to do that on the street anyways. That's illegal even in third world countries.
Good
What dumbasses. If anything destruction of government property at a minimum
the hate crime was to pain their street against their will with racist BS - All lives matter OneNationUnderGod ... people know who started, funded, and pushed the communist BLM ... many black people are ashamed of what is going on with their country F... NWO God Bless America!
CNN PART OF THE PROBLEM OF SYSTEMIC RACISM........LEADING A STUPID STORY WITH THE COLOR OF SOMEONE'S SKIN COLOR IS RACIST
Why do you keep posting old news? Unfollowing! See ya!
Yes! Lock the haters up!
All lives matter!
Why cant they paint on the streets too? Cuz they're white?
So much for free speech
MaryKeithBare1 Restitution should be having to repaint it until it’s perfect too.
CNN should be charged with a hate crime for getting so many people killed with their hateful narrative and hate speech.
Lmao “ allegedly”
Good remove it this whole thing needs to stop
Since when is it a hate crime for covering up graffiti?
Not so funny now huh! Wish they would get jail time and have share a cell with a black person😳
Contra Costa County - but of course!
I know thousands who would do the same thing. CNN, you are SO out of touch.
They are on video. It’s not alleged.
Full video White woman paints over B.L.M Mural in NY via YouTube
Good!! Normally these people get a nothing charge. This is good news.❤️
Pardon them!!!!!
It's a hate crime to now say lives matter. Meanwhile, no charges for thousands of rioters and looters in Contra Costa County.
How about all the rioters destroying property assaulting people. They should be in jail
Idiots!
Yep now paint MAGA on any road and let’s see what happens. Y’all are so gross.
GMP30821156 They should be given an award for cleaning up the street.
Good
How is this a hate crime when you repair vandalism. LiberalismIsTheRealPandemic
All lives matter, anything else is a favoring one race over another, and is in fact a form of racism.
Painting over Bloods and Crips graffiti will soon be a hatecrime
It's California, what do you expect?
I dont see how this is a crime at all. Black Lives Matter doesn't even care about black lives. What's sad is white Democrats think they can speak for blacks. Well thats actually racism...
You can kill or threaten to hang a black person no charges, but just do not paint over the letters that say black. For real?
Must be a broad definition to a “hate” crime. I don’t hate anyone, but am not in favor of group painting large letter signs on the streets.
They were painting the shit that was left on the street .
is it legal to paint anything on street?
BLM is the Hate Group
This is so ridiculous.. why isn’t tearing down statues a hate crime vs white people. The democrat party is anti white
“The mural was painted” so it’s ok to paint graffiti on public property?
Absurd. Any rational person, regardless of race, should be pushing back VERY hard against this.
The irony...
Not guilty. Do not take a plea. It violates Federal law to paint political messages on public roadways.
If you support blacklivesmatter then we need to protect this man at all costs!!!
its not a hate crime it should be painted in the first place AllLivesMattter not just black
FVCKyourblm GIMME THE GUY WHO SUPPORTS FUNDING THESE BADASS MOTHERF*CKERS ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!
Why are you capitalizing white?
I consider forcing BLM murals on the community to be a hate crime.
So I can write BLM on your face ?
CNN is trash
BLM is a communist anti family hate group itself lol
奥巴马政府，民主党政府跟共产党合作多年，得到的最大礼物是c19病毒和泄漏国家机密，危害了自身安全，导致美国人民死了那么多人，现在还想利用种族歧视得到选票，民主党这样腐败的政府，必须接受美国人民的审判。
Defacing a BLM mural is a hate crime, but burning the American flag is OK. Got it.
THE ORGANIZATION So this is what the DEMs are focused on. Shouldn't you be arresting looters, murderers, etc… Just goes to show that if they can progagandize and divide :( BLMTerroristMarxists BLMisRacist BLMIsADomesticTerroristGroup BLMFundRaisersForDEMS BLMisHATE
Now it’s written in black letters ! Good job !
“Allegedly”? When you’re on video doing what you’re charged with how doesnthe phrase allegedly still apply?
That's bull shit and you know it
Use of public structure for political idealology shouldn’t be allowed be it for good or bad!
Tokenism.
Why did the use black paint? At least they are being charged - no white- wash.
That's not appropriate with everything we now know about BLM & their agenda. Not a hate crime.
They mopped hatefully!
Allegedly? They are in a video!
}black lives matter mural is a hate crime so what's the point?
Think big. Listen to Mexican President Obrador. Will bring tears to your eyes.
Get out of here!
Lol I’ll donate my paycheck to their go fund me
I'm estimating civil war in the US within the next 12 months.
Painting over vandalism isn't a hate crime.
The DA is an overzealous prick bowing to the blm mob.. the DA needs to be disbarred
I love happy endings
Good!
cnn really cares about the color of someones skin. Aha no, just the lighter color! Freaking racists!
Gee, what you find on the internet. Looks like both racists are in league with each other. Just because there is a phone number doesn’t mean you have to call them and voice your disgust. Retweeting is well another idea. blacklivesmatter TrumpIsNotWell racist
When someone abuse Muslims then Pakistani human right champions turn their faces other way except some ... please share . Let’s see how many Aurat March champions talk about this women being abused .
How is this a hate crime, but people tearing down statutes is accepted.
probably low-key BLM supporters trying to instigate a non-issue 😐
“hate crime” 😂😂😂
Allegedly?
The BLM leader said on Fox News, “If the US doesn’t give us what we want, we will burn the system down.”
Simple: These two were trying to turn the streets into a US History book ... that kind of whitewashing should be illegal in 2020
The main enemy of the West? Media & activists!
Cool, now do this one
allegedly ? u can clearly see in the video she is painting over the mural lol
BLM is a marxist infection. These nice people were simply disinfecting.
Painting is a hate crime? What else do you leftist Bozos have up your sleeve?
Kalifornia marxist...disgusting!!
I think we need to revisit what a hate crime is. It's not this. This is just stupid.
Good
We’ve lost our minds
Nice!! Put them in the clinker for a while and let them reflect on their asshole natures
This world is becoming so pussified
And all those people spray painting 'Black Power' all over Seattle and Atlanta...what's the punishment for that?
I'd laugh but for the tragedy...
Good for them. 😹
Another LAWLESSNESS bunch of leaders charging law abiding citizens with crimes
Scary! You can loot, rob, steal, & burn down black owned businesses, but this is a hate crime. BLM is a racist, Marxist organization who hatred America.
The hate crime is painting that ONLY black lives matter. If you only paint BLM your a racist.
? Stop with 'a black man' 'a white man' ooook? This is just not necessary. Stop classifying people by color, race... You could detailed that on your statement, maybe, but not on the title.
why are mentioning their colour,, you didn't re the driver in Seattle...
You managed to get white in there TWICE I think u forgot Trump supporters. It wasn’t a hate crime...these ppl hv had enuf of the looting, destruction and burning down of a country they love. That’s it. Saying ALL blk lives matter is also a problem for BLM btw
So they get charged but the people rioting and killing people are not.
So blm and antifa riots, destruction, beatings, glass breaking, stealing, etc are not punishable acts but someone defacing a terrorist organization’s art is? That is truly the world of the wacky left. Joe Biden’s America.
They should have gotten a permit to paint white lives matter. See how well that works in this race war. I am sure the city would have given them a permit just like BLM.
Gotta love homeboy who just walks around while she does all the work. How much you want to bet in court he's going to blame it on her.
Why?, White people just shut up and take it! Your life doesn't matter any more!
What has this crazy world come to? Graffiti all over and tear down monuments and nothing happens. Paint over graffiti and it’s a hate crime? Despicable
Seems to me they didn’t have a permit. If you’re supporting them, why do you hate Law and Order so much? 😷💙🇺🇸
Ridiculous charge
CNN, YOU are racist!
Fuck CNN
Only white people can be charged with hate crimes. White people stood up & marched for many. Blacks, women, gays, etc. Who's going to stand up for white people. White people.
A hate crime against a left wing Marxist organization...
Weird
That’s BS
White people need to paint white lives matter on the streets
But vandalizing and tearing down statues is perfectly acceptable.......clown world exhibit 9,434
“Allegedly” while on video being proud of the act.
They're Trump supporters -_-;
I wonder if these folks had been black, would that still be a hate crime?
They're evil people behind the evil work in US
Funny the group that painted that are protected by their rights according to the left to paint on the road. But when someone else comes in and express their right to the day as what you are giving the BLM fake movement it is a hate crime. Hmm funny the double standards of theleft
CNN supports and defends an antisemitic organisation ADL
That’s now getting out of hand , is the world not creating more racists than before the protests ? God please heal our nations
'Allegedly'? It's on video!!
Hate crime for painting without authorization over something that other people painted without authorization - am I the only one who sees that charge as biased? Regardless of what we think of their message, all people have equal rights to freedom of speech.
So happy they were caught and face charges. What ugliness they have shown!
This is an abuse of power and it's disgusting. It's almost like the left, the trash media, the loony libs & toxic left are begging white Americans to become racists. What the hell is wrong with you people? Cleaning up graffiti from a toxic movement isn't a hate crime, idiots.
This is ABSURD! But people have been destroying their own cities and not given one charge... enough is enough of this
Well done you two ! I wish more Americans had the guts like these two Patriots 😡 All Americans get out there and start bloody pushing back , it's your free country ! Don't let the Marxist BLM and ANTIFA take your free country away from you. Go get it back and go hard 😈
Thank God I don't live in Washington I'd be executed multiple times by now.
Why BLM is a terrorist group!
That’s just trashy
Good! Serves them right for painting the town with hate!
MEK or Laquer Thinner would be better option. Dissolve not paint over.
This is sdrawkcabssa! White people paint over a racist 'rettaMseviLkcalB' (MLB) mural, and they become the racists. White people are the only ones that are racist, all other races can't possibly be racist. The other races get a pass for their racism! The racists are racist!
Hell will be let loose if there is painting anywhere in America that reads WHITE POWER. Racism is a thing of the mind. Americans must unite . All Lives Matter.
why is this a hate crime
Allegedly? It's on video.
Awesome clip that shows highlights of Don Lemon.... What a class act.
'Winning'. 👌way to use that CIS privilege and that stimulus money - to be hateful. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏿♀️😂🤣😷🦠💀They could have just stayed on FB with the covfefe trolls & had their daily racist schadenfreude helpings of borscht & pelmeni. RussianBounty EpsteinFlightLogs
A driver screaming at folks repairing the damage, stopped his car and shoved a gun into someone's face. Racists seem to be clinging to an unrelated, inner rage as if that rage somehow helps them forget how little they value themselves and others.
Wait to hear a prosecutor defend the charges when it goes to the supreme court. Both parties that wielded the paint are wrong. You can call it a mural but it was paint on a road and it obscured the safety lines in place. The other people will say they were cleaning graffiti.
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Lock their assess up.
They will sacrifice their careers and expose themselves as racist for words painted on the street. My God. So much insecurity. So much pinned up hate. So much lack of composure and self awareness.
Lol
What a load of political bollocks , it's one rule for one ,and another rule for another ,this sign ,is the cause if hate divide , wouldn't be any issues if this kind of thing wasnt aloud to happen 🤔👀👥🌏🌐🇺🇸👎😷🎥👎
😂😂😂
I dont see how the civil rights charge sticks but I can see the vandalism charges stick because it was licensed by the town. Im not surprised this happened though. Normalization of destroying things we dont agree with has occurred so, naturally, these things will happen
They are as stupid as donald trump.
Nice 👍🏽
Allegedly? Mate there are videos all around
I’m so tired of these crazy white people, acting a fool cause they can’t have their way.
Do the American thing and drop a load of Sand on them before they attract to many machines from the Moon.
So that statue destroying thing they have been doing is NOT okay then? Strange. Taking down statues is 'protesting' and vandalising invalidism is 'hate crime'. Yeah, clownworld mode
If this is her town, some of her people's lives (whom are dark in skin color) are in danger. If you love your town, you must love everyone in your town and stand for anyone whose life is at stake because together you all makes up the town. Peace! ✌ BLM
They're torrise the officer must a rest them quickly
These people are heroes. They knew the political activists have taken over the judicial system in California and did what they deemed right anyway. The fact that they were charged shows that we live in an absolute clown world. Fccck California
I see CNN has NOT looked at BLM’s website lately... look at EXACTLY WHAT THEY STAND FOR!!!!
That’s not a hate crime. It’s freedom of speech. What is this? Nazi Germany?
Why does the article need to start with 'A White man and a White woman'? Because CNN wants to continue stoking racism as it is good for ratings.
I love this song...
RebelACole If the whole point of BLM/racial equality is to stop racism, why purposefully make it a stand-out feature of the sentence by capitalizing 'black' and 'white?' It seems to me that the racial justice movement only seeks to focus MORE on race, which only perpetuates racism.
Back at it again with the race shaming CNN. If black people painted over the words, the word ‘black’ would not be in the headline!
The mural stating black lives matter is racist. Anytime one group is put on top all the others, that is Racist. We're ALL equal.
So why can some people paint all over the street and others cant.!!?
impeachment still requires evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors. Still waiting
WELP!!! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Enjoy your Hate Crime charge. BlackLivesMattter
CNN when a Black man kills a White BLM protester with his car : 🙈 CNN when BLM protesters kill a little girl in her family car :🙊 CNN when a White woman is painting over a BLM sign : 😡🤬
Who gives a sh!t wut race they are u fukn idit! The fact that $h!ts on the dm streets is a fukn shme to America! Blacks are spoiled A$$ Americans! They kno nothing of racism nor bein mistreated! They need to move to Africa! And learn wut true proverty is! They dont know $h!t
But you want statues to be taken down CNN is fake news
I’m sure that will stick haha
Black woman arrested for being racist against blacks? BLM will soon rule large areas of the U.S. Likely this will tie in with China and Russia, in preparation for the Destruction of America and a new Order.
As long as the people who painted the mural are charged too 🤷🏻♂️
Should they have done it? No. Is it a hate crime? Of course not. Is the DA virtue signaling? Yes. YellowPaintMatters
🙄
Painting graffiti
'Hate crime'... What kind of BS is this?!
You already posted this
Black Lives Matter leader Charles Wade charged with sex trafficking ....
Love it when MAGAts face charges! Hope the guy gets 20% more punishment.
They wanted our attention so filmed themselves doing it plus the racist shouting. They’re looking for some Fox News cash and they’ll get it. Wankers.
By the replies u can sure see a how racists sure have a brain of a split pea
“Allegedly”
Google BLM is Marxist trained online, give me an explanation.......stop spread your evil socialist communist ideology!!!
This is the kind of stupidity that will get Trump re-ejected. Thank you.
That's a total hypocrisy of law 😑
