Oy Vey!
You'll never believe who the culprit of this dastardly deed was!
Who knew Mother Nature was such a rabid anti-Semite?

(CNN) - A New York hate crime task force is investigating the toppling of at least a dozen headstones at a Jewish cemetery after similar incidents occurred in St. Louis and Philadelphia.

The Anti-Defamation League, an organization dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism, is offering a $5,000 reward for information about the case.

[Update 1:24 p.m.] Following an investigation, the NYPD determined the gravestones weren't toppled in an act of vandalism. "Upon conferral with the managers of the cemetery, it was determined the 42 toppled gravestones were due to neglect, or weather factors like soil and dirt and wind. There is no evidence to suggest this was a case of vandalism," a police spokesperson told Gothamist. A Washington Cemetery employee who answered the phone also confirmed that the gravestones didn't fall over because of vandalism.

So the graveyard was neglected long enough for that many to fall over and someone just happened to check on the yard? I don't think it was some anti Semite or anything but that's a weird story

I was curious why just some of the stones were down. I mean there are others untouched right next to the ones that were "vandalized".

So does the NYPD get the $5k reward?

They found out some of the JCC bomb threats were called in by some liberal black guy. I don't deny the possibility that there could be some neo-Nazis up to something with this, but I sort of doubt it.

So the wind blew in both directions? Look at the headstones that fell over in different directions.

prob used the cheapest headstone guy in town.

The wind is literally Hitler. And don't you think the fact that they were only toppled and not vandalized / defaced would have been a tip-off. Golden nugget won't have to make bond now, bonus.

Has to be some type of wind event for that many to fall over at the same time.
Also, they should dowel them in.

I've been to old cemeteries. Lots of the really old sections are in extreme disrepair and there just aren't any descendants that care enough, so these fantastic plots of well to do and important citizens fall apart...
And no one comes to visit.

Are we even sure that they fell over at the same time? Some of the stones could be in areas of subsidence which made them lean....years pass and they eventually fell.
Because they say neglect it sounds like they just didnt fix them.
edit: look at the angle of the headstone to the left of the cop in the background.

Typically when I'm out vandalizing Jewish cemeteries I use spray paint. Less effort and a quick red swastika goes a long way in the vandalizing jew stuff game.

none were hate crimes
kids being derelict kids
every year there are kids who get busted messing with grave stones. But now, everything is hate crime, the Trump Boogeymen men are coming to get you of other faith and color.

I'm not, but I haven't read differently.

Yeah, there are definite signs of neglect but the bases of that group of stones in front of the cops look like they should for the most part. I still think they should have been doweled and hopefully they make that part of the fix.

In similar news, Bibi Netanyahu and AIPAC urge the U.S. military to go to war with Mother Nature to combat the rise of anti-semitism and to protect Israel from her enemies.
