Reply to comment by stork38 in New York City Councilman Erik Blottcher's office, home vandalized with hate speech by mowotlarx
I read exactly what you wrote. You posed that if hate speech can be "washed away with rain" , then it's somehow not vandalism and not a criminal act. Vandalism doesn't need to be destruction, it can also be defacing.

The legal definition of vandalism includes defacing. It includes things that require cleaning as well as repair.

There is no such law on the New York books called vandalism. There is a law called criminal mischief though, and it requires actual damage. If you're going to lock whoever wrote this, you'll also have to lock up little kids who play hopscotch by your twisted logic.

You think writing hate speech and slurs outside the home of a gay politician is the same as kids drawing a hop scotch game?
