West Seattle Crime Watch: Graffiti vandal may have struck again

Police are trying to catch whoever is vandalizing various spots in West Seattle with hate graffiti. A WSB’er reported yesterday that she called police after seeing a vandal in the act. Today, we just got a note from Alex, who says it appears the site where the vandalism originally came to light, a Morgan Junction garage door, has been vandalized again. As someone suggested in a comment on a previous report, at this point, given the persistence of this, and the status of the acts as a potential hate crime, call 911 if you think you see someone doing it.

Good lord. Stupid kids. If they have a problem with gay people they should move to Iran. I heard the Iranian president said there are no gay people in Iran. There certainly are gay people in Seattle, and then there are plenty of not-gay people who have no problem with gay people. Why should we? Those kids are going to be caught, because obviously they will not stop until that happens. Eyes open people!

It’s a hate crime. Essentially it’s property destruction with the enhancement that it is done as a hate crime. That means prison time, bozos. Think about it. If you aren’t motivated by basic decency not to destroy other people’s property with slurs, then you should be deterred by the fact if you’re caught you’ll go to prison and you can try calling your cell-mate a gay slur when he mounts you as other cell mates hold you down. See how that goes over.

Sorry, comment time is over.
