When people shout blue lives matter you never hear all lives matter shouted back. Gee, could it be racism?

Fool is doing all the work while he's walking around videoing it looks like. Hope they go to jail, get a HUGE fine or at least get community service repainting the sign.

You can still read it. They're even racist in their paint choice.

Police said in a statement Sunday that a white female painted over the mural as a white man made comments to onlookers.

"It appeared that the couple came to the mural with cans of paint and a roller with the specific purpose of vandalizing over the mural," the Martinez Police Department said. "The community spent a considerable amount of time painting this mural only to have the suspects destroy it by dumping and rolling paint over part of the message."

Once police were notified of what happened, the suspects were gone, the department said.

Police describe the suspects' car as a Nissan pickup truck with the word "NICOLE" on the right side in silver lettering.

The truck's license plate is "52701B1."

"The City of Martinez values tolerance and the damage to the mural was divisive and hurtful," police said. "Please help us identify those that are responsible for this crime, so they can be held accountable for their actions."

The very idea that she would lift a finger, even to paint out "Black Lives Matter," is laughable.

Meritless and somewhat irrational, but I certainly understand the visceral, if petulant, satisfaction it allows you.

Black Lives Matter mural in Martinez vandalized, restored

Posted: Jul 5, 2020 / 02:24 PM PDT / Updated: Jul 5, 2020 / 02:24 PM PDT

(BCN)

MARTINEZ, Calif. (BCN) – Rachel Deikman on Saturday took her two young children to a real-life civics lesson, helping paint the words “Black Lives Matter” on the street in front of a Contra Costa County courthouse in downtown Martinez.

“Our town will not be deterred, and such hateful acts will only coalesce us as the kind and forward leaning community we are,” Ross wrote on social media the day after the fliers were reported.

Getting the street mural approved so quickly, Gomez said, is further proof the city is committed to addressing the issue.

As of early Sunday afternoon, the one block of Court Street was still blocked off, the mural intact, now surrounded by dozens of chalk images.
