  • Georgetown Square was also vandalized, a white ‘pride’ spray painting over the wall where the Quartermaine Cafe was previously located.

  • A second spray painting was spray painted outside the Walter Johnson gymnasium. The WJ staff were quick to remove every vandalization on the building.

  • Spray paintings of white pride were also on display on the 495 overpass. Many students and staff members of the WJ community are concerned about these acts of vandalism.

  • A walkway over highway 495 was vandalized as multiple messages of white nationalism. The people who spray painted the bridge are proclaiming themselves as ‘patriots’.

  • On Oct. 3, Walter Johnson was vandalized. One of the spray paintings was an anti – LGBTQ painting. This has caused an outroar in WJ’s LGBTQ community.
