    "I immediately thought that someone had chosen to deface the building and attempt to make it appear that it was leftist radicals that had done it by writing BLM and Antifa," Chip Sharpe, a member of the church, said. "It looked to me like they were trying to say, 'OK, this was put here by us antifa BLM nuts,' I don’t think I would have believed that antifa or BLM, whatever that organization is, would have anything to do with it anyway."

    "It doesn’t even make sense what they wrote, quite honestly, it’s quite confusing. But it’s been identified that it was the same kind of confusing message on each one of the four (churches) in that same timeframe," Bridgette Garuti (church administrator) said.

    Not even members of the church believe that the vandalism was done by BLM/antifa.

      Well, yeah, I mean look at it. You'd have to have recently suffered a severe concussion where you don't even remember the current year for this to be remotely convincing.

      I can't even remember a single instance of "antifa" vandalizing a building unless there was a massive police brutality protest occurring in the area... If it does happen it's probably on an overpass or some shit.

    I like how it's a unitarian universalist church, probably the closest denomination to a socialist Jesus. One of like two I don't have issues with. We wouldn't go to one of the dozens of evangelical churches around it.

      Honestly, it could have been Baptists from down the street doing this to them. Whoever did it clearly hasn't done graffiti before.

      So either false flag or some weird manifestation or denominational rivalry

    Whenever me and my fellow wok socialist go out for a night on the town, we always make sure to conveniently "vandalize" the easiest parts to paint back over and never cause any significant damage or destruction that would require actual repairs
