    Default New kind of "hate crime"

    Defacing a graffiti mural of Socialist Bernie Sanders with graffiti? Hate Crime.

    The vandalism of a mural of Bernie Sanders in Washington DC that was defaced with a picture of Pepe the Frog is being investigated as a hate crime, police have said.





    D.C. police confirmed their investigation into the vandalism of the mural in the Navy Yard area.

    They said that it was not clear exactly when the mural was defaced, with a police report listing December 15, 2020 to January 14, 2021 as a possible time period.

    Police were called to investigate the vandalism on Sunday by one of the artists, who felt 'that the defacement may be motivated by hate or bias of political or religious affiliation', according to a report in Fox 5.

    'The appropriation of that symbol somehow became an expression of power by the individuals that were doing it and then it spread over the internet and different chat rooms and 8chan and Reddit and some of the places where 'Alt-Right' and white supremacists folks find each other and share ideas and share strategies,' Ezickson said.

    Not sure why they used a frog. A remora would have been more apropos...

    It's doubtful that was done by someone who's against Bernie's policies.

    OK- shoot the messenger time.

    My wife has a 2nd cousin that's a famous "graffiti artist" and does them all over the country- very similar to that graffiti mural. "Most" of them are planned and approved by local govts- some are political and some just decorative. If the mural in question was
    "planned and approved" it would probably fall under a vandalism category.
    He became famous for doing the Obama poster.
    The family doesn't associate with him or his Mom much- she married a yankee and went north 50+ years ago and is a total friggin liberal nut case.

    You can investigate running a red light as a hate crime, doesnt mean anything until charged/convicted.

    I agree it is vandalism. Both times.

    Suppressing one while allowing the other is becoming quite a trend with the tolerant left...

    If the graffiti artist was not legally able to paint here I doubt he would report this to the police.

    Assuming it was government, and not a private property owner, why they would commission a mural like this is up for questioning.

    Who is the man in the previous mural [underneath the Bernie mural]? We can see his forehead and eyebrows only.

    Bad Habit. How he went from Andre the Giant Having a Posse to doing a Rolling Stones album cover is mind blowing. I took studio art with him in high school. Most of the famous Charleston artists despise graffiti artists. John Doyle hated him and hated having to look at Andre's face on the Francis Marion hotel.
