NEW YORK (AP) Authorities say a man has been arrested for vandalizing a New York City firehouse and several ambulances with swastikas and hateful language.
City fire marshals arrested 42-year-old Jem Ibrahimov on Saturday after he allegedly returned to the scene of the crime.
A Fire Department spokesman says on Facebook that Ibrahimov was arrested by fire marshals who caught him in the act while they were staking out an upper Manhattan firehouse that had been vandalized twice before. The firehouse had been hit with graffiti that included swastikas and the words "Nazi rapist pigs."
Authorities believe Ibrahimov also scrawled graffiti on at least six ambulances.

(37,648 posts)First he draws swastikas. Then he writes anti-Nazi slurs.
Maybe he has a mental issue.

(22,877 posts)I just don't think his name sounds more Jewish than Muslim.

(37,648 posts)But doing graffiti is pretty juvenile and doesn't accomplish anything about a problem. That's why I think he may be unemployed and/or have mental issues. He's a middle aged man and would know that there are real ways to work on a problem. And it punishes the owner of the property (the city), rather than the actual people he's complaining about. Meaning HIS taxes will have to go to repair or clean up the damage, if that's possible. Graffitti doesn't do anything about problems. That's what teenagers do. Just my opinion.
