Vandal spray-paints swastikas, racist word, and Hail Pres. Trump at Kansas City libraryPOSTED 4:55 PM, DECEMBER 12, 2016, BY MICHELLE PEKARSKY AND MONICA EVANS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Swastikas were spray painted in four different places of the Kansas City Public Library, on W. 10th Street on Sunday afternoon, and since then, the library has worked to remove the swastikas and the n-word painted inside.
Libraries are often associated with peace and quiet, but the calm inside this building was shattered when the racist messages were found.
"We had some defacement of the Kansas City Public Library by someone who is a little troubled and probably a little racist," said Crosby Kemper, Director of the Kansas City Public Library. "We have a picture of the person from our cameras and we hope the police catch him and he should go to jail for the defacement of public property."
One swastika was spray-painted on a portrait located on the main level of the library. The portrait was of a former executive of the First National Bank, who was not Jewish.
Swastikas were also painted inside a bathroom, a stairwell and on the glass of the main entrance. The library says the vandal also spray-painted the 'n-word' and 'Hail President Trump' on the walls of the central branch in downtown Kansas City.

(100,103 posts)I'm angry about what happened at Adam Yauch Park, and they're pissed that Colin Kaepernick is exercising his first amendment right to protest. The swastika hate crime is worse. And you don't fuck with the Beastie Boys. And yet not a single word from our president elect denouncing this behavior.

(28,270 posts)Some seem to think the democratic party has to reach out to these racist haters instead of going after the 40% or so voters who didn't bother to vote in the last Russian selection.
I think it would be terrible to accommodate the views of fascists even a little bit.
