It’s Like The Guy Who Insists That He’s Not So Much “Anti-Black” As He Is “Pro-White”
Because when you go down that debate-club road, you start wondering why we should bother with hate crime laws at all:
Posted: May 21st, 2009 | Filed under: Brooklyn, I Don't Get It!Police said that they are investigating the strange Nazi-runic graffiti in the hopes of tracking down who’s leaving the coded messages — most recently on the pedestrian foot bridge on East 14th Street and Shore Parkway back on May 13.
While many residents ignored the iron crosses, the number 88 — a code number among neo−Nazis for “Heil Hitler” — and the phrase “Triumph of Will” on the pedestrian bridge, a few concerned citizens in Sheepshead Bay called authorities — especially since the graffiti was found a short distance from Holocaust Memorial Park on Emmons and West End avenues, the only city park dedicated to victims of the Holocaust.
Members of the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force are on the case, although sources said that the graffiti could not be considered “bias” because it wasn’t solely directed to any ethnic group.
The graffiti was more pro-Nazi than anti-Jew, officials said.
