PSA: There Are Antisemitic Stickers in Brooklyn
By Emily Goldsher / November 17, 2009A friend brought it to my attention that NewYorkShitty has been keeping track of the growing number of anti-Semitic stickers popping up in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Looks like a company called TightRope is responsible for the sticker; though, itâs hard to say whether or not they are the ones stickering Brooklyn. Apparently, the hate isnât limited to Jewsâpeople have also spotted (and subsequently ripped down) homophobic stickers in the same area.
So whatâs a Brooklyn Jew to do? Here is NewYorkShittyâs advice:
âI have been advised that moving forward I am to bring these stickers (when I find them) to the police departmentâs attention, be it by calling them or forwarding images (with location) to an officer who will henceforth be my âpoint personâ. This same gentleman guaranteed there will be an investigation. In addition, D.I. Fulton told me that ripping these stickers down is perfectly legal. So there have you. All I asked in return was that D.I. Fulton have these stickers removed stat. He assured me this will happen.
Otherwise, if you, dear readers, find such stickers/hate speech on your block the NYPD has your ear. Call âem.â

While I completely agree that this type of attitude is wrong and the display of this hateful attitude is deplorable, I have to disagree that the NYPD should be involved. I really hope that one day all this mess will not be an issue but until then we need to remember what our constitution says. casino online
