Fremont: Two minors admit to spray-painting swastika on Horner portable

A pair of 15-year-old boys have admitted to spray-painting graffiti, including a swastika, on a portable classroom at Horner Junior High School in Fremont, police said.

Geneva Bosques, a spokeswoman for the Fremont Police Department, said in an email police were alerted to the incident on March 1, though it appears the spray-painting took place the night of Feb. 23.

The case was investigated as an act of vandalism, not a hate crime, because the spray-painting “was not directed at a victim or a victim’s property,” Bosques said.

She added that in an interview with police, the boys “stated they did not intend for their painting to be taken as a racist or hateful symbol” and regretted vandalizing the school with dark green spray paint. She said the boys told police they were drunk at the time.
