Swastikas painted on dumpster

Is racial crime openly on the rise? Friday morning a Crown Heights resident doing construction on a home on President St arrived to find a red Swastika painted on a dumpster in front of the house. The dumpster had just been delivered Thursday night, clean with not marks or markings on it. The police hate crimes unit was assigned to investigate, which didn’t allow the graffiti taskforce to remove the scrawl till much later Friday.

Camera Crews from every local TV news and radio station had shown up throughout the course of the day to report this anti semitic crime and the general rise in crime in our neighborhood.

    Did the residents of the house with the dumpster actually know for a fact that the swastika was not already on the dumpster? I looked at it with the NYPD detectives and it looked scratched, dusty, as if it had been on for a while.

    Has the NYPD verified that it was fresh, since Thursday night? Was this a Crown Heights-specific hate crime or just an unrelated incident?

    Why are complaining about ant-semitism? Just look at all the anti-semitism against Rabbi Shwei when he wrote a simple psak.
