Evidence of hate

Swastikas and the words “TRUMP RULES” and “ANTIFA SUCKS” are seen spray-painted on a memorial near the Gates of Heaven synagogue in Madison’s James Madison Park on Sept. 20, 2017. The vandalism occurred just hours before the celebration Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

............................................

A memorial near the Gates of Heaven synagogue in Madison’s James Madison Park was spray-painted with swastikas and a pro-President Donald Trump message in large red letters hours before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It is the latest in what a top Wisconsin Jewish leader says is an increase in anti-Semitic incidents over the past few years.

Madison Police said they are investigating the incident, which was reported early Wednesday morning by a passerby who noticed the memorial had been defaced with “TRUMP RULES,” “ANTIFA SUCKS” and Nazi symbols. Antifa refers to anti-fascist activists who have violently clashed with white supremacists and neo-Nazis in recent months, including at Charlottesville, Virginia. That march featured chants of “Jews will not replace us.”...................................

But, until it takes a deadly turn, actually a huge, deadly turn, I don't expect most people to give two shits about it because it is anti-Semitism.

I live on the outskirts of Madison (Sun Prairie) and look upon this "demonstration" with disgust....
