Our long national nightmare is over. Back in May, authorities in St. Petersburg, Florida, said a manhunt was underway for a driver who'd left tire marks on a pride mural painted over a crosswalk. Here's the shocking footage.

Please help identify this person, so Callahan Auto can present them their free brake pads for life certificate!! https://t.co/7aVTlNUfhO
Thank goodness they caught this monster. We'd guess he's not even "homophobic," but, like the rest of us, just sick of seeing the pride rainbow venerated everywhere.
UPDATE: The DeSantis team confirmed they are aware and are looking into it

Where can we donate to the young hero’s defense fund?
— Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) July 1, 2024
Free him.
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) July 1, 2024
Tax dollars should not be spent prosecuting teenagers for felonies for doing donuts.
— Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 (@Bubblebathgirl) July 1, 2024
Those dollars should also not be spent painting divisive Pride murals.
What’s going on in Florida @RonDeSantis?
Chaya, can you post a link to his defense fund? I would gladly donate to this young heroes defense fund. He deserves it! 💪

Let us know where to donate.

How about cities stop painting the Holy Sex Flag of Anarchy and Communism on city streets? Is that asking too much?
— Don Hansen (@Nobody78787878) July 1, 2024
Okay @RonDeSantis time to cut this young chad loose!
— Ben Zeisloft (@BenZeisloft) July 2, 2024
@RonDeSantis should fire whatever DA is trying to charge this kid with a felony
— Joel Berry (@JoelWBerry) July 2, 2024
Pure anarcho-tyranny. In Florida, of all states.
— Michael Cassidy ✝️ 🇺🇸 (@Mike_Cassidy_MS) July 1, 2024
There are real criminals out there, but the priority for the St. Petersburg police is using resources to track down anyone who would dare desecrate a ROAD mural that shouldn't have even been there in the first place (paid for by tax dollars, no doubt).
— A Ruthless (@ARuthless8) July 2, 2024
If what this kid did is a felony, then painting the street should be a felony also.
— Valkybob8030 MonsterMAGA (@Libturdcrusher) July 2, 2024
The painted pride flag should be considered graffiti and destruction of tax funded roads. Sue the admin that approved this.

Need Harmeet's team on this. The police and DA should be ashamed. Worst it's reckless driving

Records show Maier was released from the Pinellas County Jail after posting a $5,500 bond Monday. He has pleaded not guilty through an attorney. Police said the investigation is ongoing.
— Rose 🇺🇸Republican🇺🇸🌴Native Floridian🌴 (@Rbigzs) July 2, 2024
The investigation is ongoing? Are they still looking for the people who vandalized the street by painting on it?
"Felony mischief."
