http://www.businessinsider.com/swastikas-emory-aepi-2014-10Offensive graffiti including swastikas was found early Sunday morning on the Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter house at Emory University, the university confirmed to Business Insider Sunday.
AEPi is a national traditionally Jewish fraternity, and the swastikas and other graffiti were spray-painted on the house shortly after the end of Yom Kippur, one of the holiest days in Judaism. The Emory campus police are investigating the offensive graffiti and have increased patrols around the area of the fraternity house, according to the university.
Swastikas were also found at the main campus library last month, according to a crime report published by student newspaper The Emory Wheel. It is not immediately clear if the two instances are related.

The bigot on the left can't even make a proper swastika!

I can't even wrap my mind around this (for that i am grateful).
If their idiocy and hatred weren't so detrimental to others, I would feel sorry for any being that walked through life with that much hate...since their actions do impact others, i feel disdain/ disgust

I get so tired of hearing about this crap, and I am sure the victims get tired of being targeted even more.
