Actually, this is van-dalism in Long Beach (CA) Wednesday.
| Quote: |
Long Beach police are investigating after a Latino man said he found the word “Illegal” spray-painted in large dark letters on this side of his van this weekend. A second car and a nearby church sign were similarly vandalized, according to residents.
Joe Solis said a neighbor in his Belmont Heights community alerted him to the spray paint Sunday morning. Solis thinks someone must have scrawled the message on his bright yellow Volkswagen bus while it was parked in front of his house Saturday night.
Solis, who is Mexican and Jewish, said the racial implication of the spray-painted message didn’t hit him right away.
His first thought was to double check that his van was parked legally.
“I didn’t understand it at first because it said ‘illegal’ on it and I couldn’t put two and two together,” said Solis, who explained that his family has been born and raised in the United States for six generations.
It wasn’t until his mother-in-law said she thought the graffiti was a hate crime that Solis realized someone could be targeting him for his Mexican heritage.
“I never really felt like that before, like I don’t belong,” Solis said.
Police haven’t determined a motive for the vandalism but said it’s possible the crime was “bias motivated.”

All the crazy think it's OK now.
Remember, a fish stinks from the head.

I'm impressed they spelled it correctly. Ignorant fu**ing racists aren't generally known for their intelligence. Maybe some twit spelled it out for them in a tweet at 3am.

They changed the fish, but not the water (swamp).
