Anti-Semitism: alive and well at George Washington University
No Arrests Made In Apparent GW Hate Crime
Swastikas Found On Campus Buildings Five Times In One Week

WASHINGTON -- No arrests have been made after a series of apparent hate crimes at George Washington University involving swastikas painted on campus buildings.

Between Tuesday and Sunday, a Jewish student living in Mitchell Hall reported four incidents of swastikas on her door. A fifth swastika was found at another dorm building called Potomac House.

Students who live in Mitchell Hall said they are angry and surprised.

"It kind of shocks me," said student Chris Grenier. "I wouldn't expect that from here at all."

As a Jewish long time resident of the DC area, this deeply bothers me. Once or twice? Maybe a prank but 4 times in less than a week?
Is it just me but between nooses found in trees on various college campuses and now this does there seem to be a disturbingly growing number of college related hate crimes?:(

1. I'll say it once, I'll say it again.
Bush and his party have opened the floodgates in assholishness these past several years.
