While we Democrats were out caucusing our hearts out, maybe disagreeing, maybe vehemently, but trusting one another to try to make democracy work, this was happening. I feel as though I've been punched. People, we have to stick together against this monster and his minions.
Edited: It looks as though someone at the center may have committed this crime in order to cover for another. I'm leaving the post because there's still a crazy element of Trump's effect on the way our world is working right now, but wanted to note that it may well not be supporters, but someone hiding behind the hate of supporters.

(8 posts)Sadly, I find it more plausible that this was done by someone on our side, to discredit the other side. Or to draw attention away from themselves.
Actually I see an update. Suspect is an East African man.

(2,337 posts)Too many of these types of cases turn out to be self-inflicted, for lack of another word coming to mind.
Nice combo though. Trump, nwords, and swastikas?
Yeah. Seems legit.

(3,447 posts)The entire swastika (faced 'correctly but not tilted like a 'proper' Nazi one) is hashed in. That's time consuming (as someone on facebook also notes). The scrawl is large and loopy with circles for the 'i's. That's someone who had no concern of being caught, had plenty of time, and was in all likelihood female.
As the number of female Nazi's is tiny at the very least, I'm filing this under 'Things that likely didn't happen as we're meant to imagine'.

(687 posts)The suspect has had trouble with the center before and his family tried to make restitution with the center to avoid prosecution before this latest crime happened.
I live in this neighborhood and this has been a shock to the community.
