A 19-year-old man accused of vandalizing an LGBTQ+ pride mural in Delray Beach pleaded not guilty on Thursday, though only after some confusion in court led the judge to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Dylan Brewer of Clearwater was arrested on Feb. 12, a week after police said he performed burnouts on the pride mural in a dark pickup truck with a President Donald Trump flag attached. Witnesses and surveillance cameras recorded the incident, Brewer and the license plate, but Brewer left before officers arrived, according to the probable cause affidavit.
He faces one count of felony criminal mischief over $1,000 and one count of reckless driving. (snip)
Rand Hoch, president and founder of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, told the Sun Sentinel (snip)
“Here’s a guy who was caught on video, two passengers identified it as him, and one of them stated that he had the car retrofitted so it could do more damage doing burnouts,” Hoch said. “One would think he would say, ‘Yeah, I did it,’ and throw himself on the mercy of the court and see what they do for sentencing.”
The Human Rights Council helped the city pay for the mural initially, Hoch said. He said he considers himself a victim in the case.
In 2022, Alexander Jerich, 20, of Lake Worth Beach pleaded guilty to the same charges Brewer is facing for defacing the same mural in 2021 while driving in a birthday rally for Trump. He was sentenced to probation, which recently ended, and was ordered to write a 25-page essay about the victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. Hoch described the sentence as a “slap on the wrist.”

It’s ok for those commie bastards to tear down all of our national statues and monuments to our heroes, deface them with red paint, etc, for years and nothing happens to the perps.
But deface a symbol of perversion and you are dead.
The hypocrisy of the lefties knows no bounds.
I've never understood just what it is they're proud of.
He should call his burnouts kinetic performance art.
