Police say they have 'zero tolerance' for hate crimes after chalk messages found in Queens area of city.

Police in New York have arrested a 12-year-old boy after anti-Semitic graffiti was found scrawled across an elementary school playground.

“On Fri, 2-22-19, anti-Semitic graffiti was found throughout a Queens playground,” Shea tweeted. “The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force now have the suspect—a 12-year-old male—in custody. Great job NYPD Hate Crimes.The child has been processed as a juvenile and released to his family, Shea added. “This has gotten completely out of hand. I urge Mayor de Blasio to immediately implement mine and Councilmember Mark Levine's bills that recently passed in the City Council, which would require educational outreach to teach about the impact of hate, bias, and anti-Semitism."

Good. He will learn the penalty for playing NAZI.

I think you shouldn’t have arrested a 12 year old, but had a serious look into the parent’s background to see if they are teaching their child wrong. It’s the parents who should be arrested (or at least the ones teaching this to little boys).

He's probably just either acting out or mirroring those he thinks are in control (parental figures). I seriously doubt he understands the full spectrum of hate this symbol is tied to historically. Or he's Hindu or into Jainism...?

Arrested. Good job! The world is a safer place now for sure, knowing that a 12 year old boy is in jail. For a graffiti. With a piece of chalk. On the playground. Thank God we can sleep safe tonight.

Wow, America has become such a police state that it throws literal children in prison over chalk drawings. Keep on telling me how y'all are the land of the free tho

GOD

That's a Swastik sign man
