California pair charged with hate crime after Black Lives Matter mural cover-up: authorities

If convicted, they face up to a year in county jail, authorities say

Two California residents were charged with a hate crime and other offenses Tuesday after they were captured on video allegedly covering up a Black Lives Matter mural.

The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office identified the pair as Nicole Anderson, 42, and David Richard Nelson, 53, both of Martinez, Calif.

“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,” District Attorney Diana Becton said.

Cellphone video recorded by a witness allegedly showed Anderson using black paint and a roller brush to cover over the mural, specifically the letters “B” and “L” in the word “Black" on the Fourth of July.

A heated confrontation ensued between supporters of the mural and Nelson, who was allegedly heard yelling "All lives matter!"

Activists with a local Black Lives Matter movement had painted the slogan outside a courthouse in Martinez earlier on July 4 in big yellow letters. The mural was painted over within an hour of it being completed, FOX 2 of the Bay Area reported.

  2. To clean up Graffiti is now a crime if it has been painted on a government building by black lives matter anarchist! As we all know hate crimes are only targeted at mainly the caucasians In this country and for anyone to say other was is not educated on the matter. Groups of black thugs can beat elderly white women for simply being white but this IS NOT a hate crime but simple misdemeanor assault. It is a law racist in its implementation plain and simple!!

    1. It was sanctioned by the city, dipshit. It wasn't vandalism or defacement, it was a public art project. The crime was covering it up while ranting racist garbage.

  4. Appeal it all the way to the supreme court. The state opened the streets up as a public forum. Write whatever you want, it's free speech to write over it too.

  5. 12:18 The crime is, vandalism you obtuse retard, The person got a permit, and was sanctioned by the govt to put the BLM text there to begin with, and when this woman and man came to cover it up, it became vandalism, but far as a hate crime, this is not a hate crime!!!!

    Why don't you retards actually learn the laws and maybe, just maybe you won't be harassed by cops!!!! nah you all think being stupid is cool and look where it has gotten you, NO WHERE!!!!

  6. This is not even a crime. Sue those responsible in civil court, make them pay personally. They will think twice to make such bogus charges next time.
