Cenotaph vandalized by swastika

Police call on public for help
Posted By Heather Rivers


Remembrance Day services in Woodstock were tarnished by remnants of a swastika spray-painted sometime overnight on Woodstock's cenotaph.

Woodstock police chief Rod Freeman is calling on the public for help in solving what he has called "a disgusting distraction.

"I am certain that someone knows who is responsible for this despicable act of vandalism," Freeman said.

Freeman said when the culprit is apprehended he will not only go before the courts he will also face a panel of veterans.

"We'll bring the vandal before a small group of vets and they can describe their intent to the vets," he said.

Woodstock has been plagued in recent months by vandalism involving swastikas and the word Nazi on several public buildings including the art gallery.

But Freeman said he believes the cenotaph graffiti is not related to previous incidents.

"It's another mindless individual," he said. "It is not connected to the previous ones."

Freeman said Woodstock police were alerted to the vandalism early Wednesday morning.

Freeman said cleanup by the city workers was a priority "out of respect for veterans."

I just can't express my disgust at this act of vandalism.

Mindless individuals are the sheep that go about their business every day under the radar. People like this certainly aren't mindless, but they are indeed dangerous.

The news article does nothing to spread his ideals. Don't be a butthead. Ignoring and sweeping nazis under the rug certainly won't make them go away.

Takes more than one person to topple a 10' granite cross unless a vehicle was used.

Secretly I wish I could topple every statue on the earth.

I don't disagree. My comment was directed at the OP not the news. Although it directly applies to them as well. People like this are a natural part of society. Part of the equation if you will. They're not much different than bullies. The only reason they act out is to get attention. Similar to flying pigs.... uh, I mean trolls. The more people talk about them, the closer their goal is to being accomplished.
