(Jewish Group) 5 Students Blamed for Anti-Semitic Graffiti

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Milton police arrested five high school students Friday, April 13, in connection with anti-Semitic graffiti discovered on a Jewish family’s driveway four days earlier.

Hilary Karp opened her garage door Monday morning, April 9, to find “(Expletive) you” written in shaving cream on her driveway above the Star of David with “Jew” in the middle. Blue glitter had been sprinkled on the star.

“I felt like I was in Europe in the 1940s while cleaning my driveway,” Karp said. “Obviously, I have never lived in Europe, and I was not alive in 1940, but we all have families who were.”

Trees at the home also were toilet-papered, police said.

McKenna Blaine and Katherine Stein, both 17, are charged with vandalism under a city ordinance. They were issued citations and given court dates. By Georgia law, 17-year-olds are treated as adults in criminal cases.

I lived in Lithonia and Ft. Benning when I was younger, and I have family that still lives there. There are so many little towns all over the place, same in OK. It seems the smaller the town, the bigger the prejudices.

Kristallnacht, the night in November 1938 when another group of bigots hit the streets. With respect to you

On the urging of my granddaughter. Also "Mean Girls".

This reeks of nasty high school girl jealousy/general nastiness. Coupled with historical ignorance more than antisemitic motive.

I mean , blue glitter?

I suspect someone got a coveted cheerleading position and someone did not.

Or a boy's attention.
