After a man was caught on surveillance video tearing down a Pride sign, one Seattle business decided to take matters into their own hands in a bold way.

Black Rock Spirits, located in Capitol Hill, publicly shamed the culprit by displaying his face on a handmade billboard outside their Madison Street office."We're just trying to have fun with it," said Sven Liden, founder of Black Rock Spirits. "It was kind of for our own sense of petty justice to put that thing up there."The vandalism took place in August, outside the Black Rock Spirits office, around 5:30 a.m.

"There's not too much you can do about it, so we thought, let's just have a little petty revenge and put his photo up on our sign."Jim Fuda with Crime Stoppers Puget Sound wants to encourage this business and any other establishments dealing with similar vandalism to report it to authorities."This would be considered a hate crime. You damage property, you look at the RCW for hate crimes, and it fits," Fuda remarked.
