A mural created in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate South Florida’s LGBTQ community has been vandalized just weeks after its unveiling.

It wasn’t vandalized, it was peacefully protested.

Maybe don’t put the mural on the road? Just a suggestion

[MuayDog]

“International crime” “perpetrators” “disgusted” “disturbing” these people need to find real problems 😂

The only vandalism was putting that flag down

Someone's sexuality doesn't belong in public, keep it private.

He left a black color on Rainbow. *Diversified*

There's no reason to advertise bedroom activities on a public street.

I think it might be illegal to paint the road any colors other than white or yellow, because it's a safety hazard.

“sir why did you do that?”
“I can’t drive straight on that flag”

[GLITCHED_PUPPET]

This isnt supposed to be illegal it should be LEGAL

Wait a minute…….so, pulling a flag down from a government building and burning it is considered freedom of expression…..smearing the American flag with poop and soaking it with urine is considered artistic expression…….but driving over a flag on the road is a crime???
Why isn’t this also freedom of expression, or artistic expression? Maybe he’s an artist. The road flag is the canvas and his tire tread tread marks are the medium with which he is creating his art???

Imagine painting something on a public road and then getting upset because someone drove over it. What the hell is wrong with people?

Vandalism? Thats a protest. Period. Freedom of speech.

“Police waste taxpayer resources on man expressing his first amendment right after a public street has been vandalized with a pride flag.”

[aspiceronni]

Dont get it backwards. The vandalism is the mural.

[rong]

I fully support defacing that flag that stands for disgusting behavior!

[martyreking]

Vandalism? I call that freedom of speech/expression just like they do.

[Brian-bcds]

That wasn't a crime; it was free speech. Streets are no place for political statements, especially when borne by taxpayers. The only paint on streets should be to provide direction to users of the roads in how to properly use the roads.

**kid gets shot**

News and Police: “I sleep.”

**someone burns out a pride flag painted on the street**

News and Police: “REAL SH*T!”

[swpjcft]

The fact police even care about this is whats wrong. Dont want this to happen? DONT USE PUBLIC FUNDS TO PAINT THIS CRAP ON ROADS!
