The woman continues with her tirade, “I’m sick of you all’s s–t. Y’all are just constantly, it’s constantly something, always trying to stand out, make a big freaking scene, if y’all would shut up…”

“We’re making a scene?” one of the teens responds.

“Look,” she says as she points off camera. “Cause all you wanna do is express, express, express.”

The woman then continues to deface the mural and escalate the situation.
