A string of downtown Boulder businesses, and some residential properties elsewhere in the city, have been tagged in recent days and weeks with anarchist messaging and other profanity-laden graffiti.
At least a dozen different properties have been hit by this spate of vandalism, according to the Downtown Boulder Partnership. It’s estimated that the rash features a total of at least 50 “large-scale” tags, some of which have since been removed.
The tags, which are often spray-painted in prominent or otherwise easily viewed spaces, have included the anarchist symbol — an “A” inside a circle — and writings such as “Kill Trump,” “Blue Lives Shatter,” “All Cops Are Bastards” and “To Be Governed Is Disgraceful.”
Among the impacted businesses on and near the Pearl Street Mall are Pharmaca, Peppercorn, the former Conor O’Neill’s property, Wells Fargo, Art Mart Gifts, The Cup, Art Source International and Bohemian Biergarten.
The tags also have popped up on Lawry Lane, in various other alleyways and on some homes.
