Artist who took credit for Torrance Chick-fil-A vandalism arrested

Torrance police have arrested a West Hollywood artist who allegedly painted the words "Tastes like hate" on the side of a Chick-fil-A restaurant last week.

Manuel Castro, 30, was arrested on suspicion of vandalism about 7 p.m. Wednesday in West Hollywood, said Torrance police Sgt. Steve Jenkinson. Investigators are also working to identify a person of interest "who may have been involved in the commission of this crime."

The graffiti — accompanied by a representation of a cow holding a paint brush — appeared during a week of demonstrations at Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide sparked by company President Dan Cathy's public denunciation of same-sex marriage.

Discovered about 6:40 a.m. Friday at the Hawthorne Boulevard restaurant, the vandalism coincided with "National Same-Sex Kiss Day," when gay rights supporters asked couples to take photos of themselves kissing at Chick-fil-A locations.

Castro took credit for the graffiti in an interview with the Huffington Post.

"Everybody is entitled to free speech, but it seems like for the gay tribe, this is more of an issue of equal rights — human rights," he said. "I'm against what these people stand for, what this company stands for. They're trying to take away what little rights we already have."(continued)

"They're trying to take away what little rights we already have."

What "rights" do gays have that are different from anyone else's rights? What "rights" are being taken from them by Chick-fil-A? This guy doesn't have the IQ of a retarded amoeba.

You'd think the L.A.T. would know that "graffiti" is plural. Castro painted a single graffito. Have to get my grammar police licks in.

Artist? Seriously? They are calling this vandal “an artist”?

He is as much of an “artist” as Ted Rall.

I say: sent this Castro graffiti ‘artist’ to the joint for a while - it’s a win-win - he gets what he wants behind bars, and the world gets relief from a noisy shoe-size IQ gay moron for a while.

This sicko has the same right to marry a woman that anybody else does - however I pity the female who would consider such a worthless self absorbed twinkie.
