Omri Casspi Has Mural Defaced For Second Time in a Week

by Hal SpivackFiled under: Kings, NBA Police Blotter, Sports Business and MediaSacramento authorities are looking for witnesses and information after a midtown mural in Sacramento of Omri Casspi was defaced by a swastika for the second time in a week. Casspi is the only Israeli player in the NBA.

The timing of the hate crimes is most likely not an accident. The mural has been defaced with swastikas around two of the holiest Jewish holidays. Last week was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year; while this week is Yom Kippur, the holiest of holidays and a day of atonement, where fasting begins at sundown for a full day.

The mural was first defaced on Sept. 8 and then again on Sept. 16.

Sacramento's Crime Alert is offering a reward of up to $1,000 with leads regarding the crime, while officials from the Anti-Defamation League are now offering a $1,000 reward for information. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
