Since it’s race month in GAL, I thought I’d contribute.
Comedian Jon Lovitz used Twitter to expose three teenage girls behind an anti-Semitic prank on his friend’s daughter.
“Some coward & idiot left this on a friend’s doorstep, yesterday. This is an insult to all of us,” he tweeted on April 5, attaching a photo of the vandalism, which showed swastikas drawn with maple syrup on the sidewalk of his friend’s house, and a pile of feces on his doorstep.
Lovitz’ friend’s daughter was classmates with the girls who perpetrated the act. The girls admitted they were behind the vandalism, but since their work was not permanent, the police said they could not press charges.
Lovitz, 54, then tweeted a photo of the girls.
“Let them be famous as Jew haters. Pls RT,” he wrote to his 28,000 followers. (“RT” stands for “retweet.”)
Unlike the police, the girls’ school could take action, and expelled all three.
“UPDATE!!! The three girls who vandalized my friends home with swastikas and dog crap, have been expelled from their school permanently,” Lovitz tweeted April 9.
While the girls were not charged, police are investigating one of their mothers, who allegedly drove the girls to and from the home they vandalized.
also, there should be a race-war sub forum[/quote]
I feel like in the days of old, when SAMA was around, we may have actually had a chance of seeing such a sub forum, but now…not a chance. Sniffle sniffle.
It’s one thing if they actually hated her. It’s another if they were being stupid in kind of a hazing thing because they liked her.
Note, I’m not excusing them, at all. Nazi imagery is a “no go” area, just like burning a cross in a yard, but kids are stupid.
To use an insipid example, some girl in H.S. egged my house with some other girls before I ever met her, basically to get my attention. When eventually confronted, she ended up making out with me.
How the hell does any high/middle school kid think its a great idea to draw that, even if they hated her? Seriously, the holocaust and all that was constantly brought up in history class throughout my time in school. Every single kid should realize you can get into deep deep trouble for doing something like this. It’s way more serious then just calling the girl fat or stupid or egging her house. I thought all kids had at least that much intelligence.
Good for this guy though. Lucky he didn’t get into any trouble, but at least he did something about it.

Also the mother’s a genius for driving them there in the middle of the night
At least once a year when I used to teach junior high, I’d catch some dumbass drawing swastikas all over their book or paper. I’d have to pull the dumbass aside, talk to them and then give them this really graphic holocaust book and make them write an essay on why what they were doing could be hurtful. This was a 97% Hispanic school, but it never failed that there was a least one Jewish kid in the grade level.
I can understand 14 year old kids being this stupid, but what the hell was that woman thinking? According to the article, she drove them there knowing full well what the girls were planning and not only let them do it, but drove them there, which I consider the same as condoning that behavior. Talk about stupid.
