Jersey Mayhem: Possible Gang Or Just Stupid Teenagers On Vandalizing Spree In Boonton Area
It is unclear whether or not a rash of public vandalism in northern New Jersey is “gang-related,” according to authorities. For the third time in less than a month, spray-painted graffiti was discovered in Boonton Township Monday morning: yet another display of swastikas, anti-police slogans and male genitalia, scrawled, perhaps frustratedly, in blue. “They keep drawing these swastikas and they keep drawing a picture of a fish with swastikas in it,” said officer Tom Cacciabeve, of the Boonton Township police department. “The word VOODOO keeps appearing also.’’
Complicating the investigation, similar markings were found nearby, and in the neighboring town of Boonton, in pink. (Though no depictions of female genitalia were reported.) The potentially mixed-gender vandals seem to hate a variety of car-makers, as a Honda was spray-painted with swastikas, a Chevy pick-up truck was lit on fire (Jesus!) and a Ford was tagged with the only-slightly-clever derogatory acronym, “Fix Or Repair Daily.” While the swastikas will not necessarily count as an act of anti-semitism, it seems pretty clear that police are in fact dealing with a gang problem here. The symbology is unmistakable. Apparently, Boonton and Boonton Township have been claimed as the turf of the of the notorious Rollin’ Nazi Fish Voodoo Cock-n-Balls Crew.
