Swastikas painted on Northern Virginia Jewish community center
In the dark hours of the morning hours before sunrise a guy decided that now was a great time to intimidate my good neighbors at the Northern Virginia Jewish Community Center, about 4:30 a.m. per the security cameras. The staff, parents and children arriving for scheduled activities arrived to see a row of Swastikas spray painted across the building front.
It was heartbreaking footage on my evening news, a beautiful young girl with curly hair staring at the scene trying to make sense of it as her mom looked on.
But you see this isn’t the first time that vandals have hit. That’s why there are security cameras. And the churches nearby that support the center have also been vandalized for their commitments to loving all their neighbors. The last time it turned out to be a guy who lived just a few blocks down the street from me, in the house with all the Trump/Pence signs.
Once again the community is coming together to help them scrub off the graffiti. But we’re asking ourselves once again, what sort of country are we living in that this keeps happening?
