Holocaust Denying Canadian Newspaper Amplifies Antisemitic Content

Canadian_Paper_Antisemitic_Conten

Andrzej Kumor is the publisher of the Polish language Canadian newspaper "Goniec,"

The Ontario-based, Polish language newspaper Goniec has “doubled down on antisemitism,” per a B’nai B’rith Canada investigation.

The paper “regularly engages in Holocaust distortion by using language such as the ‘Holocaust Enterprise’ to describe attempts by Jewish groups to provide enhanced Holocaust education and awareness,” according to B’nai B’rith.

The publisher of Goniec, Andrzej Kumor, has been arrested in the past for publishing antisemitic content. He was released and offending materials were deleted from the paper’s website, but Kumor has taken to publishing antisemitic content again.

“The publication of these articles demonstrates that Kumor is not concerned with hatefully targeting the Jewish community of Canada,” stated Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada. “An arrest and a warning from the police against the continued promotion of hate has not deterred Kumor from this behavior.”

Nazi Goyim Defense League (GDL) Members Target Jews attending Shabbat Services in Georgia

‘GDL’ leader Jon Minadeo II harass Jews with other Nazi members

A neo-Nazi group gathered outside a synagogue in Georgia and brandished swastikas during its Shabbat service on Saturday.

Shocking pictures and videos showed around a dozen people waving the hate symbols outside the Chabad of Cobb synagogue in East Cobb, the non-profit Stop Antisemitism reported.

Jon Minadeo II, leader of the so-called Goyim Defense League, was arrested for disorderly conduct and public disturbance the day before at a synagogue in Macon, Georgia, local station WMAZ reported.

Members of Chabad of Cobb told WMAZ that the neo-Nazis were out there for a few hours. Videos posted online showed the group holding swastika flags and signs that read: “Every Single Aspect of Abortion is Jewish” as local residents could be heard shouting at them to “go home”.

Officers from the Cobb Police Department responded to the scene but did not dispel the rally. Freedom of speech, even hate speech, is generally protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution — although true threats and harassment are not. Officers stood between the two groups.

Law enforcement has not issued any public statements addressing the incident on Saturday but Chabad of Cobb’s leaders said that the police department is working with them to ensure the safety of everyone at the synagogue.

“This was the most frightening thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Stewart Levy, who attends Chabad of Cobb, told WMAZ.

“I am shocked, absolutely shocked to see this here. When I see the amount of ignorance out there and some of the truths that they are promoting, it is just frightening the level of inaccurate knowledge that there is.”

Jennifer Caron Derrick, who does not attend the synagogue but lives in East Cobb, said she didn’t believe any of the neo-Nazis were local residents.

“It’s sad to see, although I’m fairly certain [their] people aren’t from our local community,” Ms Caron Derrick told The Independent.

“I just don’t understand the hate and never will.”

Ms Caron Derrick said East Cobb residents have planned a peaceful gathering for Monday at 5pm EDT in support of the Jewish community. Individuals who wish to attend the protest at Chabad of Cobb are encouraged to bring signs featuring messages of love and respect, Ms Caron Derrick said.

Chabad of Cobb issued a statement decrying the neo-Nazi rally and thanked members of the community for stepping up against hate.

The synagogue noted that East Cobb had been a “wonderful home to a flourishing Jewish community for many years” and the antisemitic protest did not represent the community’s sentiment.

“We have been in communication with Cobb County officials, who have identified these individuals as part of a small group that travel around the country in order to spread their hateful message,” the statement read.

“Ultimately, we must remember that the most potent response to darkness is to increase in light. Let’s use this unfortunate incident to increase in acts of goodness and kindness, Jewish pride, and greater Jewish engagement.”

Minadeo was released on bond following his Friday arrest. It is unclear whether any arrests were made on Saturday. The Independent has reached out to the East Cobb Police Department for comment.

Antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL) Flyers Plague Central Georgia Town

The Warner Robins Police Department is investigating suspicious antisemitic packages that were found around the area of Peach Blossom Road.

The advocacy organization fighting antisemitism - StopAntisemitism - has attributed the antisemitic flyers to the Goyim Defense League. The league travels the country distributing these hateful flyers targeted Jewish communities. Earlier this week, GDL members were distributing similar flyers in neighboring towns.

Friday, WRPD sent out a release concerning the packages, saying similar types of items have been found in other cities across the country. They say WRPD is working with the other county, state, and federal agencies to find out more.

Goyim Defense League (GDL) Leader Arrested and Charged with Disorderly Conduct

Bibb County deputies say a Florida man is under arrest following a protest outside a Macon temple.

Investigators say people in the area of Temple Beth Israel on Cherry St. called the sheriff's office over a disturbance in front of the temple on Friday evening.

Deputies say neighbors reported a group of protesters gathered in front of the temple shouting obscene language. Deputies say the callers also reported the group used a Pride flag to hang a blowup doll from a stop sign.

Once on scene, deputies ordered the group to disburse. However, investigators say Jon Eugene Minadeo II, 40, of West Palm Beach, Fla., ignored their commands and kept using a bullhorn to shout obscenities.

The advocacy organization fighting antisemitism - StopAntisemitism - has followed the antisemitic antics of Jon Minadeo and his neo-Nazi group, the Goyim Defense League. The league travels the country distributing hateful flyers targeting the Jewish communities.

Investigators say Minadeo's continued rants blamed the Jewish community for government discord and homosexuality.

Because he refused to stop shouting in the bullhorn, Bibb deputies say they charged Minadeo with disorderly conduct and public disturbance.

Investigators say once they arrested Minadeo, the rest of the group dispersed, and no other arrests were made.

Antisemitic materials were recently discovered in Warner Robins as well. Police there say they are working with multiple agencies to investigate.

Following the incidents in both Warner Robins and Macon, U.S. Attorney Leary released the following statement to WGXA News:

The events in Macon and Warner Robins targeting the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities are deeply troubling. I strongly condemn acts to intimidate and threaten people based on their faith, race, ancestry, or LGBTQ+ identity. Our office will defend the civil rights of all citizens.

U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff has also issued the following statement to WGXA News following the incidents in Macon and Warner Robins:

Georgia’s Jewish community will never be intimidated by antisemitism. Today, as symbols of genocide were paraded in front of synagogues, we continue to stand strong, proud, and unbowed. All Georgians are united in our rejection of bigotry and hate.

Florida Firefighter Returns to Work Despite Controversial Nazi Salute Photo

Months after a picture of a firefighter wearing a mustache and performing a Nazi salute surfaced in April, prompting an investigation, he has returned to work after the city determined the photo had no antisemitic intent.

The city of Melbourne said the photograph of Melbourne battalion chief Jody Kahler under scrutiny was taken 16 years ago.

The Jewish firefighter, Aaron Starkey, who initially filed the complaint against Kahler said it didn’t matter when the picture was taken because the battalion chief is still working for the city.

The city said Kahler was put on leave upon receipt of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint, but now that a portion of the investigation has been completed, he has returned to duty.

Starkey’s attorney Daniel Perez shared the offensive picture of his client’s supervisor in April.

The city of Melbourne said it found the old picture was inappropriate, showing extremely poor judgement and a lack of sensitivity, but those who were involved back in 2007, “were not intentionally acting with any kind of racist or antisemitic intent or bias.”

A new statement from the city goes on to read that Kahler has never been involved in discriminatory or harassing conduct. Additionally, the city said his picture was not found to be widely shared within the fire department, as Starkey’s attorney argued. “It had been circulating among the upper echelons of the department as a joke or as a poor gesture in my estimation,” Perez said in April.

New Jersey Jewish Cancer Center Vandalized with Antisemitic Graffiti

Law enforcement officials are investigating a possible hate crime at an Orthodox Jewish-operated cancer center in Jackson Township.

Chai Lifeline Center was tagged with antisemitic messaging a day after an online chat group reportedly targeted the center with negative comments.

Mordechai Burnstein, a community leader with the Jackson Jewish Community Council condemned the attack and offered strong words of criticism for two groups operating in town he feels stoke the flames of antisemitism on a regular basis.

“Sadly, this unfortunate incident did not occur in a vacuum. In the hours preceding the vandalism, agitators within our own Jackson community spewed hateful rhetoric across social media regarding this specific site,” Bernstein said. “Hateful rhetoric on online platforms has real-life ramifications, as we so tragically witnessed today. We must all do more to ensure that such bigotry is expunged to the fullest extent possible.”

A video of the incident was captured by a nearby security system and investigators are now looking to see if the perpetrator, suspected to be a male was seen in any other nearby surveillance video.

Mayor Michael Reina joined Burnstein in condemning the incident.

At this time, no arrests have been made and police are asking anyone with information to contact them.

Antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL) Flyers Found in Several Pennsylvania Towns

On Tuesday, June 20th, 2023, residents of a middle-class suburban neighborhood in Cumru Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania awoke to find an unsettling message outside their homes. Residents all over the neighborhood received antisemitic flyers in a Ziplock plastic bag that was weighed down by hard kernels of corn in their driveways.

Many residents were perplexed. One resident reached out to her other neighbors to see if they had received the hateful flyer, and indeed, they had. When she left her house to walk her dog, she saw plastic bags containing the flyer in driveways up and down her street.

The flyers claim that "every single aspect of the slave trade was Jewish." It then lists different slave ships and their Jewish owners. It also says, "the following Jews were known dealers, owners, shippers, or supporters of the slave trade and of the enslavement of Black African citizens in early New York history." It then proceeds to list a number of different names.

No one knows who left the flyers, although it does contain a website address. I went to gtvflyers.com, which is advertised on the flyer. It is a despicable listing of various flyers they pass around. Each flyer blamed Jewish people for everything they could think of, from Covid to the LGBTQ agenda, from Disney to the Biden Administration, from 9/11 to feminism. The hate is astounding!

The advocacy organization fighting antisemitism - StopAntisemitism - has attributed the antisemitic flyers to the Goyim Defense League. The league travels the country distributing these hateful flyers targeted Jewish communities. Earlier this week, GDL members were distributing similar flyers in neighboring towns.

What's shocking about these flyers, aside from the pure contempt they show for other human beings, is that at the bottom it clearly states, "these flyers were distributed randomly without malicious intent." It seems preposterous to make that claim when you're blaming one group for the world's ills.

One neighbor was so upset by the flyers that she called the Cumru Township Police to report them. She spoke with an officer on the phone. He told her that unless someone was being specifically targeted with threats, there was nothing that the police could do.

These flyers fall under the First Amendment rights to free speech. As loathsome as their content is, the officer's hands were tied. According to the neighbor, the officer said he would file a report and be more vigilant in the area.

This brings up bigger questions about spreading hate, misinformation, and conspiracy theories. We may be allowed to do it, but it puts a stain on a quaint, friendly, diverse neighborhood. It makes one think twice about the people living in their midst.

These antisemitic flyers have left this suburban enclave unsettled, disgusted, and concerned about their fellow neighbor. Cumru Township is not a place for hate.

Police Searching for Suspect After Antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL) Leaflets Surface in PA

Police in Luzerne County are investigating antisemitic flyers found scattered throughout a residential neighborhood in Pennsylvania. Police say it happened Monday night in Forty Fort. Officials are calling it a “disgusting act of hate” that does not represent what the community is all about.

The advocacy organization fighting antisemitism - StopAntisemitism - has attributed the antisemitic flyers to the Goyim Defense League. The white supremacist group is led by Jon Minadeo II. The group travels the country and participates and mass antisemitic flyer drops.

He says people were caught on video Monday night between 6:30 and 7:30 throwing the flyers from their vehicles onto sidewalks and into people’s driveways on Filbert, Murray, and Crisman streets.

Officers note the suspected vehicle appears to be a gold-colored Toyota Corolla.

“It’s terrible, and that thinking does not represent our area and we don’t want it here,” said Crisman Street resident. “This is a very faithful community so it’s just totally contrary to people’s faiths, totally opposite. So, it’s an outlier, it’s unusual, and hopefully, they’ll just go away and stay away.”

Similar flyers were discovered in an east Stroudsburg, Monroe County neighborhood in May.

28/22 News spoke to Rabbi Larry Kaplan for his reaction to the disturbing incident.

“I was very upset, sad to hear. We are a growing Jewish community here. I’m hoping it’s just an isolated kind of thing and folks realize that it’s not worth it to be hateful, to have any of that kind of hate in their heart, and things will be better,” explained Rabbi Kaplan.

Philadelphia PD Search for Violent Man Who Harassed Family with Antisemitic Slurs

A victim says a man yelled antisemitic slurs at him in Center City, Philadelphia, as he was walking with his daughter.

Police released surveillance video of the suspect following the father and his 1-year-old along the 700 block of Walnut Street, near Washington Square Park, on June 15.

The victim says the suspect yelled slurs at him and threatened him.

Anyone who may recognize the suspect is asked to call police.

Antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL) Flyers Discovered in St. Louis

On a walk Saturday night, Taylor Sprehe noticed something odd on the sidewalk in front of his house.

A baggie full of what looked like small pebbles weighed down two pieces of paper. Sprehe thought it was garbage. But when Sprehe picked the items up, he noticed they were far less benign.

Instead, the piece of paper was a flier with antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ+ messages written on it. The bag of pebbles was a bag of lentil beans.

"Every single aspect of the Jewish Talmud is Satanic," one flier read in large letters across the top.

The other flier included photos of queer Jewish activists with blue Stars of David placed on their foreheads. At the top, rainbow lettering said "every single aspect of the LGBTQ+ movement is Jewish." A figure with devil horns at the top held a poster saying "I bet hell is fabulous."

NGO StopAntisemitism has attributed the antisemitic flyers to the neo-Nazi group, the Goyim Defense League. The leader of the league is Jon Minadeo II. Simliar flyers were discovered in a nearby area in June of 2022.


"It took me a minute to comprehend it, because it's kinda gibberish," Sprehe says. "Then I realized what it was, and it was an obvious hate message."


A website at the bottom of each flier contains more fliers with directions on how to distribute them. "Prowling around at late hours will immediately make you appear suspicious if spotted," the website reads. It advised "paperboys" to distribute fliers during the afternoon or early evening to "camouflage activism activities."

Other fliers promoted conspiracy theories, such as "every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish" and "every single aspect of Disney child grooming is Jewish."

Even though text on the fliers said they were distributed "without malicious intent," their messages and placement didn't feel so innocent.

"It was disheartening to find that in my neighborhood, but finding that anywhere is a bummer," Sprehe says. 

Indianapolis 'Moms for Liberty' Forced to Apologize After Quoting Hitler

The Hamilton County chapter of Moms for Liberty, a national organization recently listed as an "extremist group" by a civil rights watchdog, apologized Thursday morning after it launched a newsletter called "The Parent Brigade" Wednesday that featured a quote from Adolf Hitler on its front cover.

The quote in the newsletter drew condemnation on social media Wednesday night and Thursday morning from local politicians and candidates for elected offices.

NGO StopAntisemitism shared the screengrab of the newsletter with their followers on Twitter.

Around 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Moms for Liberty emailed IndyStar and posted a statement on the group's Facebook page condemning Adolf Hitler and apologizing for using the quote. A new version of the front page without the quote or explanation was uploaded.

"We condemn Adolf Hitler's actions and his dark place in human history," the statement from chapter chairwoman Paige Miller reads. "We should not have quoted him in our newsletter and express our deepest apology."

The original pages of the newsletter, which were posted on the group's Facebook page Wednesday night, showed below The Parent Brigade's masthead a quote Hitler used at a Nazi rally in 1935: "He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future."

Late Wednesday night, after IndyStar initially published this story, the front page of the newsletter was updated to include what was described as "context" for the Hitler quote.

"The quote from a horrific leader should put parents on alert," the update says. "If the government has control over our children today, they control our country's future. We The People must be vigilant and protect children from an overreaching government."

Both the Hamilton County Democrats and the chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party denounced the quote in the newsletter.

"I think Adolf Hitler is terrible, and I would never quote Adolf Hitler or the Nazis in any shape or form other than saying they are bad or terrible," said Mario Massillamany, chairman of the Hamilton County Republican party. "That was a terrible page in our world history and I don't think that we as a society can say enough about the atrocities that the poor Jewish people had to go through."

Hamilton County Democrats in a statement highlighted messages from party candidates for office.

"We expect our leaders to not have an issue with saying Nazis are bad. Fascism is bad," the party's statement reads.

Below Hitler's words on the original front page appeared a message from Moms for Liberty national co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, with the headline: "Moms for Liberty will not be be intimidated by hate groups!"

Justice and Descovich appeared to be responding to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which labeled the Florida-headquartered Moms for Liberty and 11 other right-wing “parents' rights” organizations as extremist groups in its annual report, released earlier this month.

Antisemitic Graffiti Discovered Outside South Florida Restaurant

Police are searching for a vandal who left swastikas scrawled for everyone to see outside the Flanigan’s in Hallandale Beach.

A swastika and a jumbled scribble were painted on the wall outside the restaurant, Wednesday.

Ignacio Escandon, the restaurant’s assistant manager, spoke with 7News about the signs of hate. He said someone had contacted the police.

Hallandale Police officers who came to look found more swastikas faintly etched in light poles in the restaurant’s parking lot.

“It’s just a shame that somebody would be doing this too, you know, a family-owned business down over here,” said Escandon, “and personally, that’s just not what this company is representing.”

It’s far from the first time swastikas have been spotted in Broward County. Last year swastikas showed up painted onto signs and playground equipment in Weston.

Back in March, they were even scrawled into the dust on car windshields in Dania Beach. They were also seen on the walls of a bathroom at Cooper City High School back in May.

Incidents like these across the state led to a law that would make such vandalism a third-degree felony.

The signs have been cleaned, wiped and painted over by Hallandale Police officers.

Vandals Deface San Francisco Synagogue with Swastikas

It had been more than 40 years since Foster City’s Peninsula Sinai Congregation in California faced an antisemitic graffiti attack.

That streak ended over the weekend when a nearly 2-foot-wide swastika was discovered spray-painted on the south side of the synagogue.

A congregant out for a late afternoon stroll on Sunday, noticed the vandalism and contacted the synagogue.

“We’re fairly confident it was placed in the early morning hours of Saturday, sometime after midnight,” said Matthew Parks, president of the 66-year old Conservative congregation. “It’s a little disturbing because that meant for the entire day …  people were walking by, with a park across the street. And not until Sunday was it noticed and reported.”

The graffiti, which was painted over the next day, included both a swastika and other symbols of unclear meaning. Parks requested that the image of the symbols be blurred out in photos to avoid amplifying any hidden message.

“For right now, we are following the recommendation of law enforcement and other security professionals to withhold that part of the graffiti,” Parks said.

Parks said congregants were notified immediately of the incident, as were other local Jewish institutions, including congregations, day schools and JCCs. Foster City police have increased patrols in the area, he said.

“There was quite a bit of shock and consternation,” Park said of the reaction among congregants. “We came together for Tuesday night minyan and had a much larger crowd than usual.”

He appreciated the “outpouring of support” from rabbis and board members of other area synagogues, as well as messages of sympathy from other faith-based institutions. Parks was especially grateful for a vandalism kit the congregation received from the Peninsula JCC in Foster City.

“It’s basically a box containing paint, rollers, a tarp and instructions on how to handle incidents of vandalism,” Parks said. “I’m having our security committee and grounds committee add that to our inventory.”

Special Needs Children's Gym in Tucson Defaced by Swastikas

We Rock the Spectrum, a local gym geared for kids with special needs, was recently vandalized with antisemitic graffiti.

The owner, Destiny Wagner, had come into work on June 8th. At that point, everything was fine. It wasn’t until later in the morning when she noticed the gym’s logo on the back door was covered with swastikas, misogynistic phrases, and inappropriate images.

“I came out. We were open. Around 11 a.m., I came back outside to fetch something in my car I needed and turned around and was like, “oh my goodness.””

The logo vandalized can be found behind the gym in a small alleyway, so it can’t be seen by the public, but Wagner does a lot with the Jewish community and is the owner of the gym. She felt some of those messages were personal.

Wagner called the police and filed a report. “The city has already come out and cleaned it up for us and that was within two days, so that was great” she stated.

Unfortunately this is not the first time she’s had contact the police. Last September, the gym was burglarized and vandalized.

Wagner also has a message for whoever vandalized her logo: “it’s not ok to hate for any reason… and that kind of hate is not ok.”

Nazi Symbols Continue to Plague New Jersey Town

Several white swastikas were spray-painted on blue picnic tables at Dunney Park overnight and discovered early Wednesday morning in Clifton, New Jersey.

It was one of several antisemitic incidents reported in the city of 90,000 in recent weeks, officials said.

The spray-painted symbols were found on the picnic tables and the door of a portable toilet, said City Manager Nick Villano.

In recent weeks, antisemitic incidents were also reported at the Allwood Road Park & Ride and at Jubilee Park. In both locations, chalk messages were found on walls directing people to a web address that lead to an anti-Israel website and other hateful messages.

Villano informed NJ Transit officials about the cleanup and said the State Police investigated. Calls made to the prosecutor's office were not immediately returned.

City and police officials said of the recent issues, the Dunney Park graffiti is the most concerning. The park is located near Mesivta of Clifton, a high school for Jewish students.

Local resident and former candidate for the city's council Stephen Goldberg called the incidents disgusting,

"We need to get serious about addressing antisemitism," Goldberg said, adding the city should adopt the antisemitic standards of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

Anti-Jewish Propaganda Distributed Throughout Michigan Town

It was a shocking find made by Lisa Wood of White Lake Township. A bag filled with messages of hate critical of diversity, inclusion, and equity, claiming all three Civil Rights principles amount to taking things away from white Americans.

"It’s totally wrong, we do not believe this in this area," she said. "We need to stand up and stick together and go up against this kind of things because my generation already did this and we’re not doing it again."

Wood explained how the disturbing discovery was made.

"A neighbor had come up to me and asked me did I receive something like this? He spoke to me and told me that this was done all throughout the park," she said.

The hate mail was discovered right around the Juneteenth holiday no less, also promoted a video documentary called "Defiant" along with a link to a website filled with antisemitic content. She said the bag also had unknown items in it creating a whole separate worry. 

"We don’t know what’s in this baggie," she said. "It shows us that they have no respect. That they’ll go on your property and try to pressure you into seeing the way do, which is never going to happen. Maybe back in the 50s and 60s. This isn’t the 50s or 60s."

White Lake police could only say they are investigating at the moment.

The flyers feature the same content on some found around suburban Los Angeles also promoting the video by someone known as Devon Stack along with the antisemetic website link.

Police there say they have responded to similar incidents over recent months.

Neighbors are sick of it.

"I want to send the message of love and acceptance," Wood said. "Not hate and being afraid."

More Antisemitic Goyim Defense League (GDL) Literature Distributed in Greater Atlanta Area

Homeowners in Kennesaw woke up to find antisemitic flyers in their driveways and on their lawns. This time it happened at the Overlook at Marietta Country Club. They’re similar to flyers a hate group has been scattering throughout north Fulton and Cobb counties. 

Homeowner Thomas Wolford thought it was just a juvenile attempt to grab attention. "At first I didn’t think it was anything real," Wolford said. "I thought first it was sort of a joke, maybe it was like a prank." 

Then he read the vile antisemitic language printed on a sheet of paper, ziplocked inside a plastic bag. "The language in it was not terribly compelling. It wasn’t real persuasive," Wolford said.

Jewish watchdog organization, StopAntisemitism has identified the flyers belonging to the Goyim Defense League. The league is led by white supremacist Jon Minadeo II. The group was in a nearby suburb distributing similar materials last summer.

Someone early Monday morning tossed anti-Jewish flyers onto lawns and in driveways at the Overlook. The words spread lies about Jewish people, the message so contemptible, FOX 5 will not repeat them. The flyers are similar to ones that littered homeowners’ yards in Roswell, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Acworth in recent months.

"There’s no room for hatred of any kind. And it’s just wrong," said Martin Gilbert, executive director of Congregation Etz Chaim in Marietta. "It’s very disturbing." 

Swastika Discovered at Long Island Park

The incident occurred on Monday, June 19, at North Woodmere Park, according to the Rockaway Nassau Safety Patrol.

It appeared to be first reported by the Instagram account 5townscentral, an account informing the community of crime updates, stolen pets, events, and more.

According to this first report, the swastika was discovered near the swings at the playground by a young daughter and her mother.

“Disgusting!!!!!!!” one user commented, with another saying that they used to frequent the park for summer camp and wrote, “If I saw this when I went, I would’ve been horrified, especially since most of the camp consists of many little kids.”

RNSPl officers shared more images of the scene on Facebook.

The incident is continuing to be investigated by both RNSP and the Nassau County Police Department.
