Nazi Symbol Of Hate Was Drawn On RBG At Subway Station (NSFW)

Bklynr

GREENPOINT – Repugnant words and a swastika were drawn over the face of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on “The Unstoppable Ruth Bader Ginsburg: American Icon” book poster at a G Train subway stop.

Yesterday, a woman tweeted the image, which included the words “Die” “Jew” and “Bitch” along with the swastika. She said it was taken at the Nassau Avenue stop on the G Train. The woman did not want her Twitter linked, nor did she want to be named, but she called on City officials and said, “This desecration of the RBG’s face with anti-Semitic graffiti found in the NYC Subway system – the city of acceptance and diversity, supposedly.”

The MTA responded “We’re terribly sorry your friend and our other customers at Nassau Av had to see this abhorrent vandalism. We have zero tolerance for hateful imagery anywhere in our system and will ensure that’s removed as soon as NYPD personnel have concluded their investigation.”

The NYPD tweeted that the Hate Crimes Task Force was looking into the anti-Semitic act. Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo also weighed in.

For all the things she is and the wonderful things she has done, to some, she is nothing more than a "dirty Jew". Anti-semitism, the gift that keeps on taking.

One drunk asshole can't intimidate her ... nor any of us. We will stand up against this hate and show the world that the low life cowards have no power and are in fact pretty pathetic. The majority of NY'ers are much more enlightened.
Here is my take on what went down.
Wow, guy waiting for a bus after being rejected by women all night at a local bar ... now tries to get others as upset as he is now experiencing, so he scrolls something he knows will be very provocative. TROLL
