Art teacher Alexander Schaefer, best known for his oil paintings of burning banks, decided to stage a chalk protest of his own. On the sidewalk outside of a Chase branch in downtown LA, he chalked the word “Crooks” next to a rendering of the Chase logo. This video shows what happens.

Alexander Schaefer was charged with misdemeanor vandalism. His bail was set at $1000

Schaefer’s attorney, Tom Tosdal, argues that it’s no more reasonable to arrest political chalkers. “In California, vandalism is maliciously defacing a property,” he says, “and when you express a political or social idea, it’s not malicious.”
