On Wednesday morning, a Jewish California man in the town of Rancho Penasquitos woke up and found his daughter's car tagged with hundreds of Post-it notes. The writing on the post-its included things like "Jesus loves you,""secret admirer," "pigs are cool and so are you," "chicken" and as seen in the picture, the notes found on the hood spelled out "have fun" in large blocky letters. The local police have written this incident off as a teenage prank, but the Rancho Penasquitos man referred to it as a hate crime; and in the man's defense, Rancho Penasquitos does have a recent history of religious intolerance. Just last year, the town made the news when vandals tore into a local high school at least three times, smashing windows, drawing swastikas and even defecating on school grounds.Friday, November 13, 2009
