NEW YORK (AP) — A Brooklyn playground named for the late Beastie Boys’ star Adam Yauch was vandalized with swastikas and the words “Go Trump!”
Photos show the swastika and words were spray-painted on playground equipment in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood.
The city named the park for the late rapper, who was Jewish, in 2013. He died of cancer in 2012 at the age of 47.
New York City Councilman Brad Lander said police were investigating and the Parks Department planned to remove the messages.
The graffiti was one of several recent instances of the Nazi symbol being found around New York and in other parts of the country.
The playground includes basketball courts, a community garden, a greenhouse, a small fitness area, an open play space, drinking fountains and a dog run.

More economic anxiety, I guess. And mercy’s sake, don’t boo Mike Pence. That would be rude and disrectful.
These idots are so dumb they can’t even pull off a swastika in their graffiti. Disgusting.
I wonder if these acts are organized somehow, possibly through a Reddit.
We shouldn’t assume these are random acts.
The swastika is backwards. When you’re hateful and stupid you can’t tell left from right.
Yeah.
I said this already this morning but I feel that the Oath Keepers are just hanging back until after the inauguration and then we will see the extent of his black shirt army.
This is all going to get much worse.
