Three Washington state teens have been arrested and charged with felonies that could land them in prison for a decade for vandalizing a “gay pride” mural.
Three Washington teens could face ten years in jail after being arrested for making skid marks on an LGBT rainbow road mural while riding e-scooters.Nineteen-year-old Ruslan V. V Turko and two unnamed minors were arrested on Wednesday for first-degree malicious mischief after vandalizing the rainbow Pride mural that sits in front of Riverfront Park located in Spokane, Washington.Turko appeared in court on Thursday, alongside legal counsel. Prosecutors requested a $15,000 bond that would cover the approximate cost of re-painting the mural. The teen was later released on his own recognizance on the condition that he does not return to the crosswalk, or the other suspects.The teens got caught after a group of witnesses sitting at a nearby bar saw them acting nefariously, revving their electronic Lime scooters, and intentionally scooting their tires over the mural to create skid marks, court documents revealed, KREM News reported.
There is little that angers me more than the obvious, disgusting, and unAmerican legal persecution by Democrats of anyone who does not take a knee to their woke religion, and this story is particularly infuriating because these kids were riding scooters on a “Pride” mural that is painted on a road.
Lime, the new Bud Light, issued a groveling statement condemning the use of their scooters for the desecration of the gay pride iconography.
The Daily Mail continues:
Court records cite the witnesses confronted the teens, with some taking photos with their phones. One of the minors, hit back saying: ‘F*** you’ F*****’ and ‘Go to hell, as per the news outlet.The city said they had just finished re-painting the mural when the boys allegedly vandalized it.Lime, the company that creates the e-scooters, was appalled by the incident, and issued a statement on Friday, that shared their support for the LGBTQ community.’All of us at Lime condemn these vile acts in no uncertain terms. At a time when our teams at Lime are beginning pride celebrations around the globe, it is disturbing to see the hate taking place in Spokane.’Lime is taking immediate action against the perpetrators and doubling down on our support of Spokane Pride and Spokane Arts.’Lime is proud to put time and resources into celebrating Pride Month each year and supporting LGBTQ+ organizations working to uplift and protect queer people in cities around the world.’We will not let the hateful few spoil the joy of Pride Month in Spokane, and are grateful for those working to make Spokane more welcoming for all.’The company also said that are enacting a no-ride zone around the mural to protect it from any future vandalism attempts.
Meanwhile, actual historic statues were defaced near the White House in DC. This is okay, however, because shut up.
This cannot stand.
