BROOKLYN [CBS] — There hate crime fears in Brooklyn following a string of suspected bias crimes targeting Jews, CBS 2 has learned.
On Sept. 22 at the Chai Tots Preschool in Windsor Terrace, somebody spray painted message so hateful on the Jewish daycare center CBS 2 chose not to reprint them. Then, last Tuesday, somebody else – or perhaps the same people – threw eggs and rocks at somebody's home and yelled anti-Semitic slurs.
