'All Lives Matter' Spray Painted On Lakewood Business

LAKEWOOD, OH — The phrase "All Lives Matter" was spray painted on the side of The BottleHouse in Lakewood, the business announced Monday.

"Unfortunately, but not unsurprisingly, there are people in the world who are so misguided, misinformed and scared of change that cowardly acts of vandalism give them a sense of control. These people are to be pitied," the business said on Facebook.

The owners of BottleHouse said their building, which they share with Rising Star Coffee Roasters, was similarly targeted with anti-Black Lives Matter graffiti last week. Rising Star employees cleaned the graffiti off.

"We always have and will continue to support progressive social movements including the BLM movement. It will take more than some fools with a spray paint can to change this," the owners said on Facebook.

Lakewood police confirmed they are investigating the incident.
