Paint over a mural is worth charging people but violent destruction of monuments and statues get a free pass?

If you hated the mural, then yes it's a hate crime.

those 2 were idiots. they didn't bring enough paint, and also they didn't even erase it. basically they just neatly painted the yellow letters black. but the street was less black than the paint so you could still read the letters, now in dark black instead of yellow. they failed. but they are also idiots and racists. the city approved that project. it wasn't vandalism. ironically these people were the actual vandals. trying to destroy a city project

the letters were a civil rights, city approved message. if you are offended by "Black Lives Matter" you are a racist.

It's a crime that was motivated by racist sentiments. Definition of a hate crime.

In this case - yes. I think they had a permit to place that message on the street. Racist bastards should have gotten jumped. I wanted someone to dump the pain on her head.

Can you really get a permit for painting on a public road?

The city has to get one to do so, why not others?

Can we all apply then? And if someone gets rejected, can they sue?

A hate crime depends on intent, so this topic is dumb.
