Casspi's mural defaced....again!

#3
Maybe local Guardian Angels can start patroling that area more. They're around downtown, midtown, and elsewhere in general area on patrols. I last saw a couple of their red beret wearing people in Del Paso area a couple months ago. Heck, maybe some of us Kings fans mount an "angel" posse and cruise that area of murals to keep a lookout or set up a camera system trained on it to catch the little, pathetic punks.

Let's get these little ****s on video and then youtube their ***. Someone go set up a video monitoring device on the mural. I'm serious.

Yeah, Captain Obvious there I guess.:D It wasnt there last night on my way home from work at like 6:30...so probably happened overnight. This is just getting childish now, I bet these idiots are just doing it to copy the last person that got in the news, who probably him/herself was just doing it to get in the news...they didnt even know how to do write a swastica, if you look at the pics of the last one. This is probably a bunch of kids that said...'Hey, I dare you to do it again..HUHUHUHUHUH!'.

I would honestly be suprised if the police didn't have a camera up there already and havn't shared the information.

That would be the first logical thing to do after the mural was fixed.

I also very much doubt it's the same people who did it the first time quite frankly.. I mean with the exposure it recieved I can defenetly see other people doing it again for the buzz

You far over estimate the resources and time the Police have.

stupid people existing world wide, it's a common phenomenon.
the biggest problem in this case is the media that giving them too much attention.
it's a stupid story to even publish IMO, just clear the sign and move on.
I don't get how it got so big, every jewis/Israeli person who ever talk to Kings fans knows that they are not racist and most of them love Omri, don't make such a big deal over a stupid *** mark of some KKK children.

Its a big, dark and very boring summer hole..thats why it got so big.
Casspi said what he had to say and the fans as well reacted in a great way.
Now its time to leave the stage and let the police handle this in a silent and successful way without any media.

Friggin skin heads. The people who did this are hateful nutjobs. Hopefully they get caught. This is getting embarrassing and ridiculous, not that it wasn't already wasn't but still.

They're doing it to draw attention to it. It makes me not want to be openly outraged, not because I am not disappointed by the act, but because they're sitting at home and waiting to see the news report. Chances are the person calling it in is the same one doing it.

Most of the time I am just reading, but I guess I have to write once in a while.

As an Israeli jew, I must say couple of things:

1. The Israeli nation does not surprised from any anti-Semitic act. Still, we think the world should mention every deed. There will be no another holocaust, but we must remind ourselves that the reason the holocaust occurred is because no one really spoke then.

2. I know personally that most of you guys, the Americas, have no problems with Jews as most of the Jews don't have any problems with other groups. I can't even understand how can you hate someone for something he hasn't chosen to be.

Those are my points of view as an (secularist) Israel mostly. Just wanted to let you know guys what I think and what I can tell you across the sea.

Btw, I think the papers should mention any act of racism whether its jews, blacks, gypsies and so on...

Have a great upcoming season!

Thanks for chiming in!

Feel free to post more often - we love to hear from posters around the world and get other points of view.

But.......the Eagles????










Just kidding. ;)

Heh, Thank man. I appreciate it.

And yeah, I know, rough times in Philly. I don't like Kolb playing style. I am not a big fan of Vick as well, but I think Vick is much better than Kolb.

I think Reid should leave. This franchise needs a cooling off period. It's gonna be a long season, but hey, that's for another board! :)

Laufgas: Thanks for the comments. The incidents bothers the vast majority of Sacramentans. If you came here, you'd find about as tolerant a city as can be found, in general.

Unfortunately, bigotry and hate exists everywhere. Gotta stomp on those sparks to keep conflagration away.
 
#24
Of course. I understand the situation well. I know the majority haven't done anything. I have nothing against the US or Sacramento.

On the contrary, there are some Israelis who make stupid acts and ruins the Israeli image around the world, even when the majority of Israel haven't done anything wrong.

Yeah, that's how people see things. We'll handle it. We have to.

I appreciate your comments as well!! Really do.
 
#26
I really don't think who ever did this is a Kings fan.
I mean that Kings fans are a representative of the sacramento community and what makes people in Sacramento's media talk about it is that they don't want other people to think that SacTown is like that, so they denounce it publicly like somebody got shot, it's just a stupid sign, remove it and don't let those morons such a huge media coverage.

Are these also "dumb kids who don't really know what this means" ?

This isn't a minor thing. This is where it needs to be cut out, eliminated because next step isn't going to be "innocent."

I am all for corporal punishment here. Catch the idiots and beat them up nicely so that they for ever remember. If they are minors - beat them up together with their parents.

we want to have a great season whatever that means. We DO NOT need such things to happen. If you are an outsider and you don't know how much the city and people of Sacramento love and support the Kings - you could build a wrong and unfair opinion.

It has to stop what should never have been done to begin with.

Unfortunately, this act isn't limited to friggin skinheads. There's possibilities of more than a few groups or individuals that would do something this scummy :(....

I would trade you coaches right now, Reid for Singletary.

Not really. The behind the mural is a large empty lot. There's a cafe on the other side of the street of the mural, but it probably doesn't have a view of the Casspi image really. It has a better view of the Tyreke image instead. The Casspi image is right next to the light rail station.
And that is why I dont ride the Lite Rail...
