The Spanish never wanted a Native Holocaust they wanted souls for the Catholic church to build a new community. Anyone who has a problem with the Mission system should leave California. True it was horribly destructive on native populations because of disease but the Mission chain is the reason we have most of our best cities today. Don’t like it! Than Get your hypocritical butts out of the state my family has been living in from the time of the Mexican Revolution. Those who dislike Missions enough to deface them have no right to live in a city who’s historical heart is Mission Santa Cruz.
