A Donald Trump supporter is accused of intentionally defacing an intersection painted in rainbow colors to celebrate Pride Month in Delray Beach, Florida.

A video posted to Facebook shows the truck of 20-year-old local Alexander Jerich pulling burnouts in his truck to leave long skidmarks over the freshly painted intersection. The corner had been painted for two days before Jerich defaced it while participating in a birthday rally celebrating former president Trump's birthday.

Jerich turned himself in to Delray Beach police on Thursday. He faces misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief. The charges carry an enhancement based on evidence of prejudice that makes them a felony. The arrest report shared by Delray Beach police makes clear that they believe Jerich intentionally damaged the Pride Month artwork as a hateful act.

“Alexander Michael Jerich perceived, knew, or had reasonable grounds to perceive or know, that the City of Delray is an ally to the LGBTQ community and the owner of the Pride Streetscape...[He] intentionally selected the City of Delray Beach’s Pride Streetscape because of that perception,” the report stated.

2) Hate Crime,
3) Terrorism

2. But isn't the Furher's birthday April 20th?

Oh, sorry. He is celebrating the Gropenfuhrer's birthday.

3. LOL.

4. An eminently punchable face. Just sayin', of course.

5. That just might happen during his jail sentence

if he mouths off to the wrong person.

6. All I think he needs is that freaking grin to get a thorough butt whupin'.

7. I think part of his sentence

should be some long hours of community service doing outdoor painting jobs around town, since he likes defacing painted areas.

Preferably during the summer when it is nice and hot.

8. I think that would fair for everyone.

9. They say to never judge a book by it's cover,

But this guy definitely looks the part.
