I'm keeping abreast of this story. MAGAt's do the stupidest things. [View all]

July 4th, a self-righteous Trumper couple saw fit to vandalize the BLM mural in Martinez Ca. I don't live there but I'm not far away, and will pull through on my way from business trip in Concord and intend to visit this site.
The culprits have been caught. Of course, they had no permit nor any shade of moral ground to do that disgusting, DEPLORABLE act.
Here's hoping the hate crime charges stick, and they do jail time.
