Last weeks paper talked about some punk(s) painting a swastika onto the hood of a car in town. This part of town is well to do and happens to have a higher jewish percentage than other parts of town. (for instance, Robert Kraft owns a home nearby).
It's terrible to read about.

Now a week later, the headline is about the town committees meeting to discuss the "swastika incident" and how we should re-institute the towns affirmative action committee.

There have been no other reported crimes of this sort in the news locally.

Once again we have two sides:
1. the people who want to over-react and loudly exclaim how they're the most offended and anyone who isn't just as vocal about it is obviously a racist.
and
2. people who see a crime and want it punished far more severely than it has been in the past, thereby preventing other punks from duplicating it.


THere is no third side. No one thinks it's OK to do it. And no one outside the punk and his uncircumcised sugar daddy thinks it's even remotely funny.

I think next week the paper may request a candle light vigil.

No word if the car hood has been cleaned or repainted.

Ironically, it was a volkswagon...

Common sense would be nice, option 2, but that is not in vogue.

...ummm...aren't you expressing a third side, tail? Nazis committing crimes are no worse than anyone else committing a crime. That's been the crux of the "why do we need to have hate crimes" debate. State laws permit penalty enhancements for crimes committed against a protected group. Federal laws determine that if the intent to commit a crime is to target someone in a protected group and any acts in furtherance of that intent is a hate crime itself, in addition to the crime.

My argument is that I don't care, one way or another, unless the victim is Asian and the perp is a Nazi...

Interesting viewpoint.
But painting a swastika is different than painting a big red X on the hood. Even if the victim isn't Jewish or otherwise impacted by the significance, it is an implied threat.

Never heard of 'em. I voted for the tweeter in chief simply because I thought he was the lesser of two evils. I haven't changed my mind... and I am hopeful that the distaste people seem to have for him make them take notice of the horrendous job the house and senate politicians are doing and vote all of them out.

I am unapologetically conservative, and don't believe there is ONE politician in office working for US. We need to take back our country, and maybe captain social media can steer us in that direction.

If, again, you were attempting to label me a nazi simply because our ideologies are different... I'm sorry to disappoint. My family is white, black, asian, and hispanic... and I love 'em all. Got a couple gays and lesbos, and I love them, too.

And I still firmly believe in personal responsibility, family values, and absolutely zero government 'programs' outside of national defense and infrastructure. I would be in favor of extending public schooling to all colleges, too, if they'd pass a school voucher program. I'd like for parents to be able to choose which school their child attends based on merit, not location.

I dislike the concept of a hate crime. It seems like double jeopardy to me. If a crime is committed, peruse legal action against that crime. Please, do not tell me if someone from a protected group is murdered their life is worth more than the life of someone murdered from a non protected group. To me this is what hate crime laws tell me. This is inherently wrong.
