Doubtful. The white supremacists and other home grown bigots exponentially outnumber any refugees.

Like this one: "We need to over react to everything every single time." Ok

And this one: "Means nothing...." Ok.

It actually means a lot to me, and a helluva to the Jewish and other minority children who now know some racist antisemite menace is lurking in their community, even if that menace is a juvenile with a disgusting sense of humor.

The only decent response is to denounce this sick behavior and hold those responsible accountable. Period.


Amen

Graffiti is not a normal part of Diwali celebrations and your attempt to explain this away, or (worse), pin it on the South Asian community, is abhorrent.

Middle schoolers are getting drunk? Where? Parties where parents serve booze to school kids?

To be honest, the idea of drunk 8th graders running around scares me a lot more than this terrible graffiti. Not sure that PPs attempt at ta-ta'ing this was effective, because either way it certainly does "mean something".

A sign at Burning Tree ES in Bethesda was defaced with swastika graffiti. Police removed it. Anyone know anything more? Awful and depressing.
