As a fan of the Beastie Boys, I was absolutely sickened to see the memorial park dedicated to the late BB member Adam Yauch has been vandalized:

The Adam Yauch Park in Brooklyn Heights was defaced with graffiti of swastikas and the words "Go Trump" on Friday (Nov. 18). Yauch, like the rest of his Beastie Boys bandmates, was Jewish.

Absolutely vile. Vandalism, disrespect for public property, and anti-Semitism....it's utterly disgraceful.

Yes, awful.

Yauch's bandmate Ad-Rock spoke at an anti-hate rally held in the park a few days ago.

Never mind how offensive this is to Jewish Americans, what kind of sick mentality paints swastikas on a children's playground?

Welcome to Trump's America. Where if you're not white Christian straight and male, you are a liberal and the enemy.

I thought in a world blighted by various forms of ethnic hatred, we would at least see Anti-semitism dying out in the Western world. But this is only one of numerous instances of Anti-Semitism occuring in the US over the last year.

Anyway, let's remember just how damn good Yauch's band were, with this classic

Looks like the Nazi's are the only ones who go around demonising groups for the actions of a few.
