IVIV (12): Running a little behind on posts

Last night, someone scrawled anti-semitic graffiti (swastikas, Fuck Jews!, etc. -- actually, one of my neighbors pointed out that the swastikas were drawn backwards, but no one's reading anything but incompetence into that fact) on cars and houses on my block, in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood where I live. Since we're one of the few infidel families who don't observe Shabbat, we were able to call the police.  The cop who responded laughed it off at first as a harmless Halloween prank, which was kind of upsetting.  But then he heard that a synagogue had also been hit, and the graffiti's actually spread over about three quarters of a mile down our street.  There've been squad cars, cops, detectives and cameras all over our block, and particularly outside our house, since we were among the first ones who called it in. They're about to start dusting everything for evidence.

horrible Halloween...sorry that happened - sort of takes some getting
over, I would imagine!  Hope the police find the culprits - exposing this
nastiness is the kind of stuff that makes it worthwhile to have a police force

didn't notice that, although I remember in AtD there's a place where
the paleness and susceptibility of bruises of Dally is noted (and how
that makes her attractive to certain clients)
I think there is also another reference to bruiseability (frangibility?)
in IV but I can't remember where.
