I'm keeping abreast of this story. MAGAt's do the stupidest things.
July 4th, a self-righteous Trumper couple saw fit to vandalize the BLM mural in Martinez Ca. I don't live there but I'm not far away, and will pull through on my way from business trip in Concord and intend to visit this site.
The culprits have been caught. Of course, they had no permit nor any shade of moral ground to do that disgusting, DEPLORABLE act.
Here's hoping the hate crime charges stick, and they do jail time.

Not a LOT of places one would likely be coming from where they'd go to Concord via Martinez 
When I was young, I'd have said Martinez was a slightly upscale version of Benicia/Vallejo/Pinole. More working class, higher minority population ... like those places are (or at least were).
Nowadays it's a lot more akin to it's wealthier neighbors in other directions like Pleasant Hill and Concord.
Still I wouldn't even expect this to happen in Orinda or Danville, it's not just a money thing. Martinez is the CC county seat, and it's definitely a liberal county, even if it is pretty much all expensive now.
If you're heading across on the 4 around lunch time (edit: n/m you have lunch plans ... maybe your cuz would wanna go here, it's not far from Vallejo!), and you've never been, you should pop down to Port Costa, it's about 10-15 minutes off the 4. It's like a town out of time, a very cool old place. Bit of a Biker hangout on weekends. I recommend The Warehouse, very cool joint. Though I'll warn ya, you're gonna want a beer there
I know this cause I went there too 
I.E. around Sunvalley Mall, Pleasant Hill is the Sunvalley Side of the 680, and Concord is The Willows Side
I still have so many CD's with labels from the used section at Rasputin Records across from Sunvalley. And I saw Rocky Horror at Sunvalley midnight movies so many times.
Lately when I'm in that area on trips home, I'm at the California Grand playing poker, my lil brother and me like to play there. That's in Pacheco near Center Ave and CC Blvd. But it's moved slightly since we were young (used to be literally on that corner), now it's across the street from where it was ... across the street from the Bowling Alley (which is still there and open, but VERY decrepit ... it's like stepping back into the 1970's when you go in).
In the same shopping center where Regency theater was.
That was when I took mushrooms for the first time, and saw Pink Floyd The Wall there in 1982 with my best friend. Then we walked all the way to Concord BART, laughing and trippin' balls the whole way
There was an awesome Szechuan place in that mall, too ...
I DO vaguely remember that Drive In, now that you mention it. Wow, pretty sure that went down in the 70's. Only one left (and I don't even know that it is, but was as of 2007 when I moved away) in the area is the one off the 4 near the 680 and 4.
