Hours after getting a fresh coat of paint, the Pride mural downtown was vandalized again. But the queer community and their allies are rallying around the flag, which is still bright on the pavement of Spokane Falls Blvd.
This most recent incident of vandalism came less than a week after vandals set fire to the rainbow-flag-painted intersection in front of Riverfront Park on May 16.

Destruction of local Pride murals escalating as vandals used flammable chemicals to light downtown rainbow intersection ablaze. ‘The violence is escalating,’ local politicians said.
