FAKE HATE: Black Man Arrested For 'Racist,' 'Pro-Trump,' 'Nazi' Graffiti

A 58-year-old South Jersey man has been arrested and charged with vandalizing several vehicles and homes in South Philadelphia on the day after the presidential election, police announced Thursday.

William Tucker, of the unit block of Hemmings Way in Lawnside, Camden County, has been arrested and charged in the early-morning Nov. 9 incidents on the 900 block of South Sixth Street, at the border of Bella Vista and Queen Village, police said.

On that morning, residents on the block awoke to find racist and pro-Trump graffiti spray painted on their storefronts, cars and homes.

One of the damaged cars was a white SUV that had "Trump Rules" and "Black Bitch" spray-painted across it in large black letters. The 62-year-old owner of the car, who is a black woman, has said she reported the vandalism to police.

Police said that surveillance video captured a man spray painting a hood of a parked vehicle on the block about 5 a.m. that day. Several other vehicles and homes were also vandalized by the suspect, who then fled in an unknown direction, police said.

Tucker was identified after police received an anonymous call from a tipster on Nov. 11. After further investigation, he was arrested Nov. 22, police said.

Tucker was charged with four counts of criminal mischief and was released on his own recognizance. He faces a Dec. 8 preliminary hearing.

The New York Daily News, with no evidence, blamed Nazis living in the country for the graffiti, writing:

Donald Trump's unexpected rise to the presidency coincided with the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht -- and Nazis in Philadelphia appeared to revel in the fact as police there discovered the President-elect's name spray-painted alongside swastikas on a storefront window Wednesday morning.

The Daily Beast took the same route with the graffiti, alluding to an historic neo-Nazi motive:

Swastikas, racist graffiti, and allusions to Nazi Germany appeared on storefronts and other locations in Philadelphia overnight, following Donald Trump's victory. An SUV was painted with "Trump Rules" and "Black Bitch." Another shop had "Sieg Heil 2016" painted on its window with a swastika. Others had "Trump," where the "T" was replaced with a swastika. Many of the incidents were reported to police overnight for cleanup and investigation, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Wednesday is also the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht, "The Night of Broken Glass," when Nazi Germany encouraged pogroms against Jewish sites across Berlin in 1938.

Yet ANOTHER hate crime. Man beaten by mob because they suspected he voted for Trump. https://t.co/F63wErGmAN
