Letter: Biblical quotes on Richmond's rainbow not vandalism

Dear Editor, Re: “Rainbow targeted,” News , Aug. 2. Let’s see. The city paints the library steps in support of a political movement related to sexual orientation. Fine. I don’t mind.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Rainbow targeted,” News, Aug. 2.

Let’s see. The city paints the library steps in support of a political movement related to sexual orientation.

Fine. I don’t mind.

Someone else, however, disagrees with that political statement and, with chalk, writes a message expressing disagreement.

How is that vandalism? They didn’t use paint. They didn’t break windows. They didn’t knock down doors. They didn’t even mar the city’s political statement.

I don’t agree with whoever did this, but it’s a far, far cry from being vandalism, no matter how many times you say it is.
