Vandalism in Wilton Manors, FL

A community in Wilton Manors was under a hate crime attack as vandals spray-painted anti-gay slurs on homes and cars Friday morning, police said.

Police said the vandals spray painted the words "gay" and "fag" on homes and vehicles with black paint. Three houses in total were vandalized with the slurs on the 2800 block of Northwest 7th Avenue.

Residents were shocked by the incident. John Heseltine, a resident, spent the day cleaning up the spray-paint on his house, door and car.

"This person or persons must really hate themselves so badly that they have to go out and do hateful things to total strangers that they've never met," Heseltine said.

This is the first time this kind of vandalism has happened in the area, police said.

Heseltine is questioning the purpose for the attack and said some of the residents whose homes were vandalized are homosexuals.

At least is shows things are changing. People are probably getting upset because of how liberal it is becoming.
