A man who was arrested for leaving tire marks on a rainbow mural in South Florida was ordered by a judge to write a 25-page essay on the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting, according to The Palm Beach Post. Alexander Jerich, 20, was arrested after a video captured him accelerating through the rainbow-painted intersection in his truck in June 2021, leaving black streaks across the mural, the PBP reported. The mural had been unveiled days earlier to honor the fifth anniversary of the mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. The Pulse shooting was not a homophobic attack. A person some might call a thug or a redneck,” Suskauer said of Jerich, according to the PBP.
