    Why are all anti semites using swastikas?

    Glad to see all 4 are over 17 so their names were able to be printed in the paper. Let people see what sort of men these are when they apply for jobs. Google can come in handy in such cases.

    I don’t understand why everybody is ganging up on #1 , with their sarcasm and disrespectful comments. He didn’t state that he had no knowledge of what a swastika means, or its history. He only wanted to ascertain why anti-semites seem to use that specific symbol as their graffiti weapon of choice. I guess that it is asking too much for commentators to show some derech eretz to their fellow yidden.

    First of all, when did this country become guilty until proven innocent?! I doubt that it took all 4 to spray those horriable signs. Second of all, I read in other articles that other pictures were sprayed. Could it be that some of these kids/adults were spraying one thing and had no clue what the other(s) chose to spray?!?! No one in this story seems innocent, but when all the articles only have 1-2 paragraphs, obviously there is more to this story and obviously a missing piece to this hate crime puzzle. Before we go after these teens with torches and pick forks, lets wait for the whole story to come out.
