Supersonic 49,376 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 A memorial park honoring Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch was found defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti Friday, spray-painted with swastikas and the words “Go Trump.” Adam Yauch Park in Brooklyn Heights, New York, where Yauch used to play as a child, was named for the Beastie Boy after he died of cancer at age 47 in 2012. Yauch and the other Beastie Boys were of Jewish heritage. “This is the park where our kids play,” one Instagram user wrote. “Wake up people. This is not ok.” “Adam Yauch stood for tolerance,” the New York City Mayor’s Office tweeted in the wake of the incident, condemning the hateful crime. The defacing of Yauch’s memorial park follows a number of anti-Semitic, racist and hateful acts that have been reported in the days since Donald Trump became president-elect. In a similar act of vandalism, one student drew swastikas on classmates and another drew the anti-Semitic symbol on a white board along with the words “Go Trump.” source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/adam-yauch-park-trump-graffiti_us_582fa51ce4b058ce7aab3da2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all they want anyway are their guns and they can shoot each other off so we don't have to wait for them to die Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDi 1,495 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 no disrespect but with the amount of trans, Muslim and black people who cried wolf this past year, I find it easier to believe it was an anti-Trump desperation. it doesn't even seem realistic, does it? not to mention you can choose to ignore this with the same arguments you fight prejudice. an isolated offence doesn't speak for the reasoning behind every Trump vote. I'm pretty sure 99% of the people who voted were aware he's never promoted such ideals anyway. it's been a year in which I failed to spot a single Trump supporter left with the impression they're voting for fascism like that would be dope.

I'm pretty sure you haven't actually looked into hate crimes though. There's literally one everyday. Hate crimes are only being reported on heavily now because of the election. That doesn't mean the numbers from before aren't any worse. You'd probably be surprised that many Trump supporters don't actually care even though they appear to care now. The whole "unity" and "both sides need to stop" speech is pathetic. This has been happening for centuries and it's only now conservatives seem to care? Who's watching the bias media now? Before it was all silence on their part, but now they can't even talk about it without playing the victim. Trump supporters aren't stupid. We've seen that many voted due to healthcare and jobs. Ironically those things won't get better. However, we HAVE seen that Trump supporters do support this hate. Just go onto Facebook comment sections. And that's exactly the type of hate the needs to be discouraged. Hate crimes don't equal a vote for Trump, but you can't really think that Trump fans actually are feeling remorseful all of a sudden... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
