Racial Slurs Found on Wilmington Car

official photo

In a quiet Wilmington neighborhood KKK was painted on a driver side window with a swastika on the hood.

In addition, there was an insult to President Obama near the N-word on the front passenger side and the word “Trump” on the roof top.

Finally a message on the trunk read, “Go back to Africa.”

The Wilmington News Journal reports this is what the Woodlawn neighborhood woke up to yesterday morning.

18-year-old Jamar Jackson told the paper that he did not believe these kinds of things were done in Delaware.

He added the incident made his grandmother feel unsafe.

Police took down a criminal mischief report and Mayor Mike Purzycki condemned the incident calling it contemptable.

He added there was no tolerance for such activity and that the perpetrators would be pursued.
