Last night at around 6:30 p.m., some graffiti was found on the sidewalk outside a home in Sheepshead Bay. Someone spray painted on Avenue Z, "Dumb Muslims Die."
The police confirmed they are investigating the matter. A resident told NY1, "I've been here for 12 years, I've never seen something like this. I mean I heard words here and there, you know, I hear the kids you know screaming and yelling and throwing words here and there but this is, this is nervewracking. It's an eye opener. If they have the nerve to do it in the bright daylight i can imagine what they can do in the dark."
Public Advocate Bill deBlasio said, "This revolting act of prejudice was meant to intimidate New Yorkers on their streets and in their homes - but because of our unity and our strength, it’s not going to work. We won’t stand for anti-Muslim bigotry - not in Sheepshead Bay, not in Brooklyn, not anywhere in our city."
