Councilmember McOsker on San Pedro Car Vandalized with Hate Speech

"I was horrified to learn of the disgusting, vile vandalism that occurred in San Pedro over the holidays," said Councilmember Tim McOsker. "I have spoken to LAPD’s Harbor Division leadership and we are very clear that whoever defaced Mr. Scott’s car is to be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, specifically as a hate crime. The words and symbols spray-painted on the car cause real, tangible terror and harm to our neighbors and our community. I do not take this lightly. I have spoken to Mr. and Mrs. Scott to offer my support as they go through this unimaginable pain that their family is dealing with at this time. This crime is hateful, deplorable and has no place here in the 15th Council District or anywhere."
