Northern Philadelphia neighborhood plagued by dyslexic, illiterate, racially-confused Nazis

Vandals Use Spray Paint To Wreak Havoc In Northeast Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Residents in one Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood had a rude awakening Wednesday morning when they woke up and discovered vulgar graffiti spray-painted on their cars and homes.

The vandalism happened on four blocks in the city’s Rhawnhurst section. The streets targeted were Hoffnagle Street, Benson Street, Emerson Street and Solly Avenue.

According to investigators, the vandals spray-painted racial epithets, sexual symbols and swastikas on cars, houses and fences.

The spray paint vandalism included the saying “Fu* Crakers” and some on the swastikas were backwards



Is it out-of-place to say this isn't so much repugnant as it is tedious? I wholly expect to find out this was dumb teenagers being dumb teenagers with no real racial motive, only a desire to be irksome little bastards.

Well, they succeeded in that regard.

Perhaps I'm too jaded but I'm not offended; I'm just sort of shaking my head is disbelief. Whatever. Sympathies to the residents who have to put up with and clean up after this crap.

I'm not dismissing their feelings, I'm dismissing whatever nefarious plot the petty little vandals had in mind.

As far as the effected people are concerned, I hope the police find those responsible and the victims get to have a good, long chat with their parents that involves compensation and a lot of community time.
