Headstones overturned at synagogues' cemetery in New Brunswick

[Behind the Aegis]

Hundreds of headstones were overturned at a New Brunswick cemetery largely used by two synagogues, authorities said today. Police believe the acts of vandalism were committed over two different days.

On Wednesday people found 17 headstones knocked over at the Poile Zedek Cemetery on Joyce Kilmer Avenue, but hundreds more were found overturned at 8:55 a.m. Sunday, police said. A total of 499 headstones were overturned.

1. Fuck anybody who thinks they can attack the dead

That's the most cowardly of all acts.

11. I tend to agree.

It ranks right up there with child abuse and cruelty to animals. Such "big men (or women)" to attack headstones. :puke:

2. I guess that's where all the drunk Ron Paul supporters went...

when Sean Hannity got away.

8. Or maybe it was Hannity himself?

He's a vindictive bastard, but too much of a coward to actually face the Paultards. Desecrate some graves?? Sounds like something Hannazi would get into.

7. The article quotes the police: "There's nothing to indicate this is a bias accident."

Really? I beg to differ. :grr:

9. Wha-a-a-t? You mean, 500 tombstones decided to suddenly fall over, en masse?

What a terrible thing.
Such cruelty.

10. Yeah, in what happened to be a Jewish cemetary

OTOH, if there's an absence of swastikas and other hate symbols which usually accompany neo-Nazi attacks, that might indicate that it was just some particularly disgusting and low-class vandals who don't have a racial agenda. Unlikely, but possible.
