The police are investigating who spray painted red swastikas and references to Donald Trump on the walls of the Wilbur Cross High School Athletic Complex.
Police department spokesman Officer David Hartman said in a press release that the athletic complex was in order when it was secured around noon on Saturday.
But 48 hours later, staff entered the complex to retrieve equipment and found it tagged with graffiti, specifically red swastikas and references to Donald Trump, were spray painted on walls and equipment.
Police have found no evidence that the perpetrators forced their way in, Hartman stated in the release. It is possible a door was left unlocked.
“The investigation of hate crimes and hate-motivated behavior as well as the apprehension of hate crime offenders is of paramount importance to the New Haven Police Department,” Hartman said. “In this case, there wasn’t a sole person or group that was targeted.
Hartman said that police department considers the entire community as the victim.
“Our citizens should be confident that these offenses will be investigated and that they are properly supported throughout this process,” he added. “Our city is defined by its sense of community. When you promote hate, you do so against us all. We will do all that we can to find you out.”
New Haven Schools sent a letter home to parents from Interim Superintendent Reginald Mayo about the vandalism, according to a press release from the district.
The graffiti was not visible from the street, and once discovered, officials took all the necessary steps to ensure the graffiti was removed in all locations and to maintain the safe and calm school climate, according to the release.
Police have processed the scene for forensic evidence and are asking for the public’s help. Call detectives at 203 – 946-6304. Reports can be made anonymously.
The Fool or Fools who did this need to read the history about the swastikas they would see the Nazis Hijack the Swastika The Swastika symbol represents the Sun and the Egyptian center for so-called Sun worshipping.The Swastika was the symbol for luck and akin to the Tau or Cross. In the Indus valley it was the symbol for well being and good, and came from the original Africans peoples, just as the Star of David or Seal of Solomon came from the same system.The Swastika is also the symbol the India Vedas. Vedas, the holy texts of Hinduism. Hinduism has its trinity that is an offshoot of the worship of Auset, Auser, and Heru [Isis, Osirus and Horus] are Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Brahma said to be Abraham of the Bible who was an Ethiopian according to Tacitus. Shiva was said to be the real time King Solomon and according to Ahmed Osman was in reality Amenhotep III.I have a Swastika on my wall for these reason.
