The Postcards 9/11 Memorial on Staten Island was defaced with pro-Palestine, anti-cop graffiti on Wednesday.
The Postcards 9/11 Memorial on Staten Island ’s North Shore was defaced with anti-police and pro-Palestine graffiti, Borough President Vito Fossella said on Wednesday.
The memorial, built in 2004, honors the 263 Staten Island residents killed in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. “In this great country of ours, The First Amendment, among other things, guarantees individuals the right to speak freely and express themselves,” Fossella said. “It does not guarantee individuals the right to destroy and desecrate property, especially something as meaningful as the Postcards Memorial that honors all those Staten Islanders that died as a result of the 9/11 attacks.
