Police are investigating.

On May 3, 2013, the Palmetto Playground in Brooklyn, New York was renamed to Adam Yauch Park in memory of the Beastie Boy, who died in 2012. Today, the park was defaced with swastikas and graffiti that read “Go Trump,” Billboard reports. Find an image below. Yauch, like the rest of his bandmates, was Jewish. There has been a spike in hate crimes and racially-charged attacks around the country since Donald Trump was elected president.

 

[Chanser]

I'm not surprised anymore.

 

[Jack Scofield]

White supremacists who can't even draw swastikas. I don't know what it is about the far right and terrible grammar and handmade signs.

 

[norm9]

Damn. MCA was all about peace and love for your fellow man. Mofos still don't do swastikas right.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Fuck them for fucking with the Beastie Boys, No fucking respect.

Not an ounce.

 

[Gnome]

White supremacists who can't even draw swastikas. I don't know what it is about the far right and terrible grammar and handmade signs.

They're idiots.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

MCA is a top ten MC. Fuck these assholes.

 

[Tubobutts]

Luckily anti semetism doesn't exist so this is fine.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

All this awful shit and the orange fucker isn't even in office yet. Christ almighty.

 

[Polioliolio]

Look. Let's give these White Supremacists a chance.
It's our duty to stand behind them and support them!


Guilt edit: Feel sick even jokingly saying that.

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

The Midwestern/rust belt economic anxiety is not present in metropolitan areas like this.
If you live in a blue state, especially a metropolitan area in a blue state, it's fairly safe to say that any Trump supporter you see is a racist.

 

[Speevy]

I just see two people puking and shitting all over each other.

That seems more indicative of their message than actual swastikas.

 

[rjc571]

Ironically, Hitler probably would have had them executed over how poorly drawn those swastikas are.

 

[Hazmat]

MCA was with it
And he's my ace
So I grabbed the white supremacist
And I punched him in the face

Fuck these people. Nasty little creeps.

 

[Dishwalla]

Messed up. Don't hate on MCA man.

 

[Einhander]

Yeah, that boils my blood. Adam Yauch was not only a dope rapper, but an upstanding humanitarian. He was a warm soul. Mike D and Adrock must be highly disappointed hearing about this.

 

[Extra Sauce]

At this point I wish we were fighting actual trolls from legends of yore, as opposed to 2016 trolls.

 

[LQX]

In Brooklyn NY? You really do not see this happening here that much anymore so it will be interesting to see where the police investigation leads us. Also camera's are everywhere so they should catch whoever did this fairly fast.

 

[Lemaitre]

All this awful shit and the orange fucker isn't even in office yet. Christ almighty.

Long four years coming.

 

[Livingskeletons]

Scum.

 

[The Faceless Master]

we just need to find the perp and talk with them like a human being for 10 minutes and calmly explain why we felt this was not a nice move and earnestly listen to their concerns on the divisive issue of Adam Yauch and the Beasite Boys.

we can meet them halfway. we have to.

 

[Minus_Me]

How dumb do you have to be to screw up a Swastika??

Horrible people.

Don't use harsh words like "perp". This just discourages them from seeing things your way even further.

 

[Nanashrew]

Not even surprised.

These people can fuck off.

 

[norm9]

But it's just fucking hipsters in Brooklyn as I remember it the last time I was there. Must be people from Long Island.

 

[poppedcollar69]

 

[starchild excalibur]

Assholes.

Look. Let's give these White Supremacists a chance.

Is every thread going to devolve into this kind of exaggerated sarcasm regarding that Vox article?

 

[MindGamingMantis]

There comes a point where after seeing so many of these stupid stories I don't even think it's white supremacists and racists. I think it's people salty as fuck that Trump is president and they want to fuck with his image as if it'd further their cause.

Or maybe it really is racists and white supremacists.

 

[DrBo42]

Yeah, looks that way. Already tired of it.

Lovely. I see this from every Trump supporter on my feed. Have there been confirmed instances of people crying wolf?

Oh you stealth edited. Good move.

 

[Reverend Funk]

rat fucks

Don't think Nyc is above this kind of stuff, there is a lot of racism in this city.

Trump supporters would do it out conviction. Scary thought, isn't it?

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

That's the worst fucking swastika i've ever seen.

 

[Indelible]

This is just disgusting, sad to see so much hatred in the world.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Those aren't even swastikas.
One is a scrambled mess. The other is an ugly manji.

Just goes to show how stupid these people must be. And to think that Trump is their preferred leader... Goodness gracious.

This is really disgusting.
I really hope it won't get any worse than that.

 

[acheron_xl]

I'm willing to bet (or at least I'd like to believe) that many of these incidents are by shithead kids who know that their brief bit of vandalism will end up getting press. It's a good time to be an anarchistic attention whore.

Still not good. I do think that a lot of trolls trying on neonazi imagery for shock value end up corrupted by it.

 

[Easy_D]

They couldn't even make a proper nazi swastika, smh. Two drawn differently and not one of 'em are right.

For real though, fuck people.

 

[bonesmccoy]

iirc, Yauch's mom was Jewish, his dad Catholic, and he was raised in a non-religious home. As adult he became a Buddhist.

So these assclowns, in a sense, offended all but a few of the world's major belief systems.

 

[Mega]

Whoever did this is a real piece of shit. MCA was awesome and immensely talented.

In Brooklyn NY? You really do not see this happening here that much anymore so it will be interesting to see where the police investigation leads us. Also camera's are everywhere so they should catch whoever did this fairly fast.

It happened a few times earlier this year alone.

 

[super-famicom]

Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

 

[Acorn]

Sick fucks

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I'm not surprised anymore.

.

All masks have been dropped

 

[Bronx-Man]

It's gonna be a long 4 years.

 

[jack_package_200]

Painting symbols of economic anxiety

 

[TheCochese]

Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

I feel the need to avatar quote myself.

 

[ahoyhoy]

The fact that they fucked them up so badly makes me belive it was probably the work of drunken college aged assholes who probably don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves and the lulz.

 

[Aurongel]

These fucking animals are a blight on society.

Can't even draw a swastika right.

 

[disappeared]

It's gonna be a long 4 years.

t-minus 1,523 days.

 

[Extra Sauce]

This is just disgusting, sad to see so much hatred in the world.

There is a chance that this was done by people who have no genuine hatred for Jewish people. That doesn't make the act any less troubling, just saying idiocy can take many forms.

 

[Dai Kaiju]

That's one hateful 2nd grader.
