Denver Synagogue Vandalized (Mel Gibson blamed, RoP not mentioned)
2004-03-07
A Denver synagogue was damaged with graffiti overnight. Swastikas were drawn on the synagogue on south Monaco Parkway. The graffiti was in the doorway and across a sign. There were also several symbols drawn on the back wall of the building. A holocaust survivor who saw the graffiti says it was almost too much to take. There was no official response available from the congregation Saturday, although several people who called 9NEWS to report the damage said that they blamed Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ” for rekindling anti-Semitism.
Hmmm, Here we have an unsupported allegation of motive from anonymous callers who presumably do not know the perps; and this is regarded as newsworthy?
Members of the congregation will gather Sunday morning to start cleaning off the graffiti.
Cinema-crazed Christians running amok again. What’s next? Catholic-school kids throwing rocks at police and troops? Baptist Car bombs? Buddhist suicide bombers on the Denver metro? Masked United Methodist Youth brandishing AKs? Presbyterian hijackers? Actually this scenario does seem vaguely familiar for some reason, though the SS runes in the picture point solidly to the subjects of an 80s hit by the Tubes, White Punks on Dope.
