Following reports that a swastika was painted on a residential building in Crown Heights yesterday evening, Public Advocate Letitia James released the following statement:
“This is not simply vandalism, but a hate crime. On the eve of Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day – this senseless and offensive act is even more painful. As we prepare to remember and honor those who lost their lives during the Holocaust, and honor those who survived – we should not have to be distracted by bigotry and intolerance.
“Unfortunately, in this City and across the country, we have seen an alarming increase in hate crimes of all kinds. I am calling for increased vigilance by New Yorkers to report hate crimes against any and all communities.”

So she needs to make sure The lowlife who was herded into an apartment building by Black residents to avoid Shomrim & the police is found & prosecuted.
And when she was CH representative on the City Council she did nothing to help the Jewish community. All talk, no action. I should know, I was living there at the time.
anyone know the address of the building?
