Hate speech on Capitol Hill

A sad happening at our park, where one of the benches had Nazi graffiti on it. This park ranger was cleaning it off. I can’t remember ever seeing something like this on Capitol Hill, which in general is a pretty liberal neighborhood.

That’s our next-door dog Scherzer, named after Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer, and my neighbor’s foot in view.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

This is a really sad commentary about where society has gone during the past 2 years or so...

A sad commentary for sure, but nice to see Scherzer and I love his name!

So sad to hear about problems like this. Glad it's cleaned up. On a happier note, Scherzer looks like a puppy still and is pretty cute.

That is sad. There is too much visible hatred on display these days.

The proliferation of these graffiti is quite sad, and worrisome.
There is a part of the world that is simply evil by nature.
Excellent image, Helen!

We're in a pretty sad state of things lately. I long for the times when life was simple and safe.

regretting that the world is moving in that direction again, but I do not see any rapid improvement with all those incompetent world leaders BV
