Fountain Valley man arrested for vandalizing Dave Min for Congress political signs
Today, October 8, 2024, the Huntington Beach Police Department responded to two separate incidents of vandalism involving political signs belonging to Candidate Dave Min.
The first report was received at approximately 11:45 a.m. in the area of Newland Street and Lamar Drive, where several signs were found defaced with derogatory language that Min described as racist anti-Asian slurs. The investigation into this incident is ongoing.
Later, at approximately 2:00 p.m., officers responded to a second report of vandalized political signs in the area of Magnolia Street and Mediterranean Drive.
Based upon information provided by witnesses, police arrested Kevin Walker, a 62-year-old resident of Fountain Valley, who was located in a nearby area. Walker was arrested for vandalism.
At this time, investigators have determined that Kevin Walker acted alone, and there is no evidence to suggest he is part of a larger group.
The Huntington Beach Police Department takes vandalism seriously, particularly when it involves hate speech. We remain committed to maintaining public safety and investigating all crimes.
We encourage anyone with information related to the incidents to contact the Huntington Beach Police Department at (714) 960-8811.

Props to HB Police for taking vandalism seriously. Increasingly, tagging and graffiti have been normalized as socially acceptable self-expression. While I certainly don't condone what this guy did, hate speech can be a slippery slope that leads up the mountain of thought crime-- so I hope HB Police would take non-political vandalism just as seriously.
And politics aside, props to Dave Min for NOT pulling the classic "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM" when getting arrested for "DUI: Elected Official" lol!
Besides his horrible lack of judgement in driving drunk, David Min drafted a bill (now law) to make it illegal for local cities to require IDs to vote. How is this logical? What's wrong with requiring IDs? Shouldn't that be the bare minimum?
