Two Californians Charged With Hate Crime For Painting Over BLM Mural
Leah Barkoukis

Posted: Jul 08, 2020 8:30 AM



2020 has become the year Americans are fired for being related to unpopular people, having dissenting opinions, or daring to utter the words, “all lives matter.” Now, an act of opposing Black Lives Matter is a hate crime.

Californians Nichole Anderson and David Nelson were charged with “three misdemeanor counts, including a hate crime” on Tuesday for painting over a BLM mural, according to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office.

The BLM mural was painted in front of the courthouse on July 4, and soon after, the two began to paint over the letters with black paint.

“We must address the root and byproduct of systemic racism in our country. The Black Lives Matter movement is an important civil rights cause that deserves all of our attention,” Contra Costa County DA Diana Becton said, according to the statement. “We must continue to elevate discussions and actually listen to one another in an effort to heal our community and country.”

The defendants face up to one year in prison.

If the couple were smart, they would have changed the message on the grafitti to "All Lives Matter". Then take that charge to court for discussion in the court of law, and on a national stage.  Let the public at large decide whether just Black Lives matter.

Bring this f'n racist hypocricy to a head.

I hope they get a good attorney. They need one. The city should get nailed for posting political messages on public property. The painting of the street broke the law the first time around. The city doesn't get to legally choose which laws apply to whom.

And here we thought that the DA's job was about enforcing the laws... No actual law needed anymore... The law is whatever they say it is... Where's the legislature?

And this is just the beginning.  I was laughed at 15 -20 years ago when I predicted that angry SJW mobs would start tearing down confederate statues.  When that started 5 years ago, I was laughed at when i predicted the Founding Fathers wouldn't be far behind.

Coming soon?  (1) Mass doxxing and harassment of anyone who does not support the leftist SJW or BLM agendas. (2)  A little further....... Race based wealth confiscation,  not totally unlike S. Africa

When the demographics line up in about 10-20 years....lookout, it may be unspeakable.

The world's gone mad.

Identity politics,

Intersectionalism,

BFD!  They were CHARGED with a "hate crime".  This is merely grandstanding and meant to intimidate.

Wake me when they're convicted of that "hate crime".  Not going to happen.

Two things.

First, it could well cost them a fortune to defend themselves. Hopefully one of the constitutional based lawyer's groups will opt to defend them for free.
Second, there are no guarantees of non conviction. It has a lot to do with where they hold the trial. Without a strong defense the prosecutor holds the all the cards.

Yup. I would guess that CA would define graffiti street removal a hate crime.

Quite predictable.
