JUPITER, Fla. — Jupiter police have arrested the 18-year old son of former U.S. Rep. Tom Rooney after they said he spray-painted "B.L.M." on the sign at Trump National Golf Club.

The disappointed former Republican congressman told WPTV NewsChannel 5 his son "made a mistake" and "would pay the price for it."

"Hopefully he learns a lesson and moves forward in a positive way," Rooney told WPTV, adding, "He's gonna plead guilty to it."

Thomas Joseph J. Rooney was booked into the county jail early Tuesday. He faces one misdemeanor count of criminal mischief causing property damage of $200 or less, according to court records.

Rooney told Jupiter police he did it "because of unequal treatment in the justice system," according to the arrest report.

1. Don't believe him

I think he did it to make it seem like BLM it Antifa did it and when he got caught he made it seem like he was protesting black injustice.

3. Dunno. Kids rebel against their parents' stupid beliefs

But could be, sure.

4. A kid rebelious enough to arm with spray paint is rebelious enough to see the

wreck that is our justice system. I say more power to him.

6. Agreed. This reeks of false flag bullshit.

2. My guess is that they'll arrange counselling

from Senator Susan Collins - "I'm sure he's learned his lesson!"

5. from the article..
