An LA man was caught in the act of defacing private property with antisemitic hate symbols at 1:35 p.m. today in front of the new John Reed Fitness at 8612 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood.

WEHOville publisher Larry Block approached the man, who held a marker in his hand, to say, “Excuse me, is that proper?” but the man did not answer.

At that point, the man put down his marker and walked west on Santa Monica Blvd, leaving swastikas and Stars of David in his wake.

In March, similar markings were found outside of Z Pizza.
