Hate in Rockland With Swastika Graffiti in Kakiat Park
by Monsey.info
A hateful sign was scrawled graffiti in a Rockland park, sparking an uproar today when it was discovered.
“On Tuesday, my office was alerted to anti-Semitic graffiti found in Kakiat Park along the Mahwah River,” wrote Rockland Executive Ed Day. “The Rockland County Sheriff’s Office and Division of Environmental Resources were immediately notified and took swift action to investigate and cover up the symbol, because lack of visibility does not diminish the hate behind the message.”
The swastika had been sprayed onto a rock found alongside a narrow river, surrounded by a wooded area.
“I am disgusted and angered by this abhorrent vandalism once again surfacing in our beautiful County. Words matter and hateful language such as this is an insult to the people of Rockland. My administration vows to work with law enforcement to find and hold the criminals behind this responsible,” Day said
Video of the swastika spread quickly through social media and became the center of the days news.
