Downtown Restaurant Vandalized with White Supremacist Messages
An overnight break-in at India Palace restaurant causes thousands in damages

https://www.sfreporter.com/news/2020/06/22/downtown-restaurant-vandalized-in-white-supremacist-attack/

Several articles from different sources about this mentioned "white supremacy messages" but did not mention "Trump 2020" which was spray painted in two locations. Don Lemon showed all the damage and all the graffiti on his show last night.

Makes me sick with worry about where we may be headed.

1. Santa Fe

3. Good point to bring up...

I suspect most would see the "sfreporter" in the link and assume it was San Francisco.

2. Disgusting...

Obviously the work of MAGAts. Who else would think that "Fuck ISIS" is an appropriate hate message to send to people from India?

No, the absurdity doesn't eclipse the evil, but it seems to just go with it.

5. Doesn't Santa Fe have many Latino and Native American residents?

Aren't parts of it quite wealthy?

9. +100000

14. Yeah, they all know.

If we don’t get the fucker out of office I will descend into a life of alcoholism, bitterness and hatred for all responsible. If he wins hope dies.

7. If I owned any business with a building

I would have surveillance cameras installed, no matter the cost.

(snips)

The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating the recent vandalism at downtown restaurant India Palace as a hate crime. “This case has been classified as a hate crime, and the Santa Fe Police Department is aggressively pursuing those responsible for this disgusting display of hatred and intolerance,” a new release issued Tuesday afternoon stated.

The FBI has also offered its assistance with the investigation into unlawful entry, criminal damage and vandalism; restaurant owner Bajit Singh made a report with the FBI shortly after discovering the crime.

Additionally, Deputy Chief Paul Joye tells SFR police are considering possible connections between this incident and the vandalism that defaced the Plaza obelisk. The two crimes are believed to have been committed in the same time frame overnight on Sunday, June 21. According to Joye, police are collecting surveillance videos from the area, but they have not released any information about potential suspects or leads.

So good to hear the community is responding because that can make a big difference with how the authorities respond.

Let's hope the police and FBI catch and prosecute these heathens..........

13. How does this help Trump?

I know deep down inside that burned out little cinder of a heart this really thrills that fat bastard but I don’t see how staying silent helps him get re-elected..

15. Their brains aren't wired right. Putin is the only brain they have to rely on. nt

16. A very good question

And one that doesn't get asked nearly often enough.
