Cultists Rage After Florida Man Hit With Felony Charge For Destroying Rainbow Crosswalk In St. Petersburg

The Tampa Bay Times reports:

St. Petersburg police have arrested a man who they say vandalized an LGBTQ+ street mural by doing burnouts on it. Christian Maier, 18, of St. Petersburg was arrested Monday on charges of felony criminal mischief and racing or stunt driving on a public street, the police department said in a news release.

The Progressive Pride street mural, located at the intersection of Central Avenue and 25th Street, was vandalized May 22, when surveillance footage captured a blue, two-door vehicle spinning out and doing doughnuts over the mural, police previously said.

In the news release Monday, police said Maier was captured on video about 3:45 a.m. that day “recklessly maneuvering his car in a way to leave several tire marks across the mural and causing significant damage.”

The felony charge is required for the destruction of property valued at over $1000. As you can see below, the cult is responding in their usual fashion.

Earlier this year, far-right podcaster Tim Pool donated $10,000 to the legal defense of another Florida man who destroyed a rainbow crosswalk. The money beg for that criminal currently stands at over $36,000.
