Two people in Martinez, Calif., spent part of Independence Day on Saturday
painting over a recently created mural reading “Black Lives Matter,”
according to local media reports.
NBC Bay Area reported the mural was painted on a street in front of a
local courthouse earlier Saturday after activists had the project
greenlighted by city officials.
Within hours, that mural had been vandalized by a man and woman.
In footage, a woman wearing a shirt with an American flag designed in the
shape of a heart can be seen painting black over the mural while a man in
a “Four More Years” shirt stands by her, recording and yelling at upset
people nearby.
“Don’t have a run-in with the law and don’t resist arrest, and it won’t be
a problem,” he says in video of the incident at one point.
Although the man and woman have not yet been identified, the NBC affiliate
reported that their license plate information has been recorded.
In a statement to the station, one witness who filmed the incident said
they couldn’t believe it was “happening right in front of my face.”
“I expected something to happen, but when I saw this, I got a little
excited and tried to make sure and get it in and film everything that
happened,” they told the outlet.
The Hill has reached out to the Martinez Police Department, which is also
reportedly looking into the incident, for more information.

if BLM would renounce the poisonous lies upon which their outfit was
founded--the whole "Hands up, don't shoot" -- michael brown myth--i would
have at least some respect for it. until then, i'll be delighted when
people paint over their graffiti.

The "mural" was vandalism itself. What's the problem with removing
graffiti?
