Lock 'em up!
Spokane Police Officers responded to the intersection of Howard Street and Spokane Falls Boulevard on a report of a vandalism incident. 911 received a complaint advising multiple subjects on scooters were causing damage to the newly painted Pride mural. Four subjects were observed damaging the mural. Several witnesses observed the crime and one of the suspects yelled obscenities toward them before leaving the area.
Officers observed widespread damage as black scuff marks consistent with scooter wheels were observed across the entirety of the mural. The area is clearly marked to keep traffic away as it was just re-painted to repair previous damage.
Officers spoke with witnesses and obtained descriptions of the suspects. Video surveillance of the incident was utilized as well. Thirty-four minutes after the initial 911 call, officers located three suspects who matched witness descriptions and video surveillance and detained them in the area Washington and Spokane Falls Boulevard.
Ruslan V.V. Turko (19) was arrested and booked into the Spokane County Jail for 1st Degree Malicious Mischief. Two additional suspects (minors) were arrested and booked into the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Center for the same charge.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

If they only had the forethought to also deface a veteran's memorial they could be back on the street right away.

How can one have malice against a mural?

AUSTIN, TX — A local man found himself facing charges of blasphemy after he was caught walking on the city's hallowed rainbow crosswalk without removing his sandals in reverence.
"Everyone knows that our local Rainbow Walk is holy ground," said City Councilperson Vlim Shmelvo. "When cis-males deign to tread upon our sanctified spaces with shodden feet, it makes our community feel unsafe!"
The man, Paul Bradford, had attempted to plead ignorance when he was confronted by a large group of angry pro-LGBTQ activists. "I honestly didn't even realize I did it," he had said as he was being backed up against a wall. "I don't understand! It's just a crosswalk! Aren't we supposed to walk on it?"
The angry mob then gasped audibly before seizing him and taking him to the local authorities. "JUST A CROSSWALK?! JUST A CROSSWALK?!" members of the crowd were heard screaming.
Bradford was unaware of the city's new law that makes it illegal for straight people to use rainbow crosswalks without removing their shoes and vocally apologizing as they walk across. "When you use the rainbow crosswalk, you must remove your shoes, for where you are standing is holy ground," said Enrique Marquez, minister at the Center for LGBTQ Faith. "Failure to show the proper reverence to the rainbow crosswalk is blasphemy, and the guilty person shall be cut off from among their people."
LGBTQ activist organizations were reportedly asking for the death penalty to be considered as punishment for Bradford's crime.
At publishing time, Bradford agreed to a deal that would allow him to avoid execution by spending the rest of his life crawling on his hands and knees when using rainbow crosswalks.
