Vandals taped three swastikas and an anti-Semitic manifesto on the outside of the Sherman Oaks district office of Los Angeles City Councilman Jack Weiss, a spokesperson said today.
Although it was unclear when the vandals struck, employees found the items when they reported to work at the office at 14310 Ventura Blvd.
Weiss, who is Jewish and has strong ties to the city's Jewish community, has scheduled a 12:30 p.m. news conference at the office.
Three red-and-black swastikas, each on 8� by 11 paper, were taped to the front of the building. On a separate piece of paper there was a short manifesto, which read in part: "We have no time to listen to Jewish American children!!! If you don't believe us, just try talking to us." Then there is an obscene reference to "a homoerotic cop" and what that cop should do to Weiss. It concludes "Heil Weiss!"
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department are investigating.
