"The man accused of kicking a 64-year-old to death outside a Brooklyn subway station for no reason last week was participating in a taxpayer-funded art "diversion" program - and painted pictures of cops being murdered, The Post can reveal. Deranged David Mazariegos - arrested less than 24 hours after Nicola Tanzi was attacked and died of his injuries on Oct. 8th by Jay St-Metrotech station - posted a series of artworks online depicting himself beheading America's Founding Fathers and NYPD officers as pigs."
"Other posts include the American flag burning as a black man stood triumphantly over a beheaded white man and the Burger King logo, with the text changed to "Murder King, you'll get it our way." He also made videos of himself brandishing nunchucks on a subway platform. Many of the gruesome pictures were posted while Mazariegos, 25, was attending two taxpayer-funded rehabilitation art therapy programs on a daily basis."
"Mazariegos was an intern to art director Anthony DeJesus at the Harlem-based Youth Justice Network, where he was commissioned to paint murals. He was also a member of The Animation Project where he became a certified mentor to coach high school students in May. When Mazariegos was hauled into the dock on July 8 over a separate charge of attacking a man over the age of 60, his lawyer used his association with the art programs in her argument for him to get bail."
David Mazariegos, 25, was accused of kicking a 64-year-old to death outside the Jay St-Metrotech subway station on Oct. 8. He posted online artworks depicting beheadings of America's Founding Fathers and NYPD officers portrayed as pigs, a burning American flag with a black man standing over a beheaded white man, and an altered Burger King logo reading "Murder King, you'll get it our way." He made videos brandishing nunchucks on a subway platform. Many of those images appeared while he attended two taxpayer-funded rehabilitation art therapy programs and worked as an intern and mentor with youth art organizations. His lawyer cited program participation when seeking bail in an earlier July case.
