Is this part of the "white supremacy epidemic" we've heard so much about?

From Providence Journal:

A man painted swastikas and anti-Catholic language on headstones in a Providence College cemetery Monday night, according to the college and police.

The man also tried to set a fire to American flags around the gravestones, and assaulted a security guard, according to Commander Thomas Verdi.

Police identified the man as Keveon Gomera, 26. According to court records, he was arraigned Tuesday on 15 counts of desecration of a grave, a felony, and a count of felony assault. Because the charges against him are felonies, he did not enter a plea in court Tuesday.

Note the misshapen swastika:

"A man who believes he encountered Gomera before the assault told local NBC affiliate WJAR that Gomera was carrying a bucket of paint and accused Providence College of 'being part of the slave plantations' and said he was going to light an American flag on fire," Catholic News Agency reported.

The defaced gravestones belong to Dominican friars who taught at Providence College, which was built in 1917, long after Americans abolished slavery.
