A Florida judge has sentenced a teen to two years of probation for vandalizing an LGBTQ crosswalk in Delray Beach and took away his driver’s license. Dylan Brewer, 19, of Clearwater, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of reckless driving and criminal mischief. He was accused of intentionally damaging a rainbow-colored mural after doing burnouts, court documents show.
Palm Beach County Judge Daliah Weiss also revoked his driver’s license for one year, ordered him to pay a $5,568.71 fine to Delray Beach, perform a total of 150 hours of community service, and complete eight hours of anger management classes, per the Palm Beach Post.
During sentencing, Judge Weiss asked Brewer to explain his understanding of the seriousness of this case. The teen offered an apology.
“It was not my intention to cause any harm outside of having some fun with friends,” Brewer told the judge. “I do realize now the harm that was caused afterwards towards the community, and I’m very sorry for my actions and putting my family and the court through this.”
Rand Hoch, founder of Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, one of two groups that paid for the $17,000 LGBTQ+ mural, spoke before the Court Wednesday, expressing his discontent with the plea deal provided to Brewer. He later released a statement saying, “Brewer’s light sentence will do little to deter other anti-LGBTQ+ hatemongers from attacking our community in the future.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
