Racist Graffiti Hits Forest Hill park
From CBS6 News we hear:
Forest Hill Park which is undergoing revitalization was targeted and defiled by vandals overnight.
Hateful Racial Slurs were spray painted in white around several areas of the Park. The messages were aimed at The Jewish and African American Communities.
City Crews were on the scene this morning attempting to erase the messages.
Police say they have no suspects but are actively investigating this incident.
Anyone with information that can help police is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.
I if anyone has some photos please send them our way. I am going to try and get out there shortly to see what I can see.








Lame on so many levels
So what’s the value of K? This is some “Good Will Hunting” racism here.
Graffiti seems to be a growing problem.
Could be that same group that’s active in Bryant Park, but I’ll bet it’s those same three youths that used to whoop it up every weekend down at the Love House by the lake.
Will they continue to be a problem once the renovation is complete?
First, we can request Parks/police to use the motion detector cameras, then when they make an arrest, we go together to the hearing, and ask for the judge to sentence to the maximum allowed…no probation, just active jail time, followed by a lot of community service hours. If the feds will certify this as a hate crime, even better.
Vandalism has been a probelm throughout the lake restoration project. The parks department is aware of it and the police are aware of it. So far, it was just the contractor’s machinery that was suffering and that was their problem. We have heard about all the “possible” ways of catching these guys…let’s do it now.
