Vandalism for CHALK! I live in Virginia and it's been raining virtually nonstop for a month. This crosswalk would have been washed off in a couple days, max. This is obviously butthurt local officials on a power trip
Apparently it was very tricky.
He sent them a fucking email:
What was that pavement made of, to be destroyed by chalk?!
I suppose they have to arrest all those kids RUINING property with their coloured chalks on their sidewalks.
Good thing they have those night vision goggles and automatic rifles, you just can't trust a kid armed with chalk these days.
Somewhere, a Karen is smiling while reading this, thinking about those brats down the street...
THEY WENT OUT WITH A CREW AND PAINT AND STILL DIDNT MAKE A CROSSWALK
Their pettiness knows no bounds.
