(Third) Jewish cemetery vandalized; Cuomo starts investigation

Vandalism at a Jewish cemetery in Rochester raised the specter Thursday of a local version of the anti-Semitic hate crimes seen elsewhere across the country.

Throughout the day Thursday, cemetery officials and police found that the destruction — the toppling this week of headstones at Waad Hakolel (Vaad Hakolel) Cemetery in northwest Rochester — was worse than initially thought. Early Thursday, cemetery officials said the damage could be simple hooliganism. But, as the day went on, the number of desecrated grave markers increased from a half dozen to at least a dozen and the initial belief that none had been defaced turned out to be wrong.

"We are actively investigating the circumstances which led to the damage of the headstones," Rochester police spokeswoman Investigator Jacqueline Shuman said in a news release. "There are currently no suspects in custody at this time, but we will continue to update everyone on any new developments."

About a hundred headstones were recently overturned in a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia, only about a week after a similar crime in Missouri.

Is that until recently, these incidents were very rare. But America has lifted the lid on its most despicable segments of society.

8. Paid agitators?

One more reason we NEED to see those taxes.

I know some may think it "far fetched" but this is what happens when you have a thug president and a mob boss cabinet.

Desecration of Graves, Definitely deplorable!!
