Haredi vandal arrested for defacing women's images on advertisements
An ultra-Orthodox man was arrested overnight Tuesday on suspicion of vandalism for blacking out the faces of women on several billboards in Jerusalem.Now that's an intriguing idea. No doubt the Haredi anti-women vandals consider them invalid too. It's about time law enforcement got around to dealing with these bigoted vandals, and should ensure they pay heavy fines for their acts, because what they're doing is abominable and dehumanizing.
The suspect, 26, was questioned at a police station on suspicion of defacing property and damaging property.
An investigation was opened two weeks ago following a number of incidents in which damage was caused to billboards that carried adverts with women’s faces, police said in a statement Wednesday.
[...] “Following that, the police organized and carried out undercover activities that led last night to the arrest of a suspect in the south of the city who had in his possession paint spray cans.”
The Hebrew-media Ynet website reported that two municipal parties, Hitorerut (Awakening Jerusalem) and Yerushalmim, had asked police to find the perpetrator.
According to the report the Hitorerut party reacted to the assault on women’s faces by covering the defaced posters with pictures of famous women such as former prime minister Golda Meir and Rosa Parks, the iconic US civil rights activist.
