Earlier this morning, the Delta Tau Delta house was vandalized with a swastika, “hateful rhetoric” and smashed windows.
This may have been related to a political protest that happened along University Avenue yesterday, during which a few brothers on the front lawn expressed their own views.
A passerby also noted on Twitter that “We <3 Trump” and a swastika were scrawled on the house.
A Tab reporter who visited the scene noticed the messages have since been painted over.
In a post on Facebook, the house said:
“In the early hours of this morning, our house was vandalized with a spray-painted swastika and other hateful rhetoric, along with broken windows. Yesterday there was a political protest march along University Avenue during which some of our members were on our front lawn expressing their political views. The University of Florida is an institution where one can express one’s views with no fear of disdain or hostility, and these acts of vandalism should be denounced. As a diverse community of men with various political and religious backgrounds, the members of Delta Tau Delta advocate for the freedom of speech and political expression. We ask that we receive the support of the University in rejecting this conduct as it is vital for a truly inclusive campus.”
Update:
Gainesville Police confirmed to The Tab they took a report at 5:13 a.m. about the incident.
A spokesperson told us: “It’s going to be determined as a felony. In the state of Florida, criminal mischief becomes a felony if it causes more than $1000 of damage. This is estimated now at around $1400.”
When asked if the swastika graffiti also made this incident a hate crime, GPD said it could not confirm at this time. No suspects have been identified yet.
We have UF for comment.
Thug liberals come back and deface the frat house.
Will the perps be kicked out of school and prosecuted?
Of course, the 'rest of the story' isn't in the #FAKENEWS here.
“We <3 Trump”??
Female vandals.
Fake news...
But, it’s not over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Hoax.
The only thing most UF students cared about this morning was that we beat LSU.
More slimy Democrat bird dogging thanks to the European Felon criminal George Soros. Hes an old codger. Old age is catching up.
I find it very hard to believe, that actual supporters to Trump are doing these acts.
Remember the Reichstag(sp?) fire from history class? Do they still teach that in history in schools???
The media are full of reports of bigoted vandalism such as noted here. And the blame is all going to Trump supporters.
I find it hard to believe that critical masses of Trump supporters are so full of rage, that they are doing all of this.
And we know the leftists have a long history, of alleging hate crimes or vandalism against themselves, which then turned out to be hoaxes, perpetrated by the leftists themselves.
Whoever does these acts should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I just have my doubts that actual Trump supporters are behind all of this.
We know that they will all be part other same fraternity staging this crap upon further investigation. It always is from the lesbian waitresses who don’t get tips from Christians to the Muslim women who are having their hijabs nabbed by white Trump supporters. It’s always the same chit.
yup - hoax
The only people who smear swastikas on college campuses are liberals.
How much longer will there by such WHINING and MOANING?
Young people are demonstrating...and THEY have the VERY worst voting record.
Now THAT sounds like college students.
I'll forget about it. You're rolling.
Of course it’s not trump supporters doing this vandalism. Where did you get this idea? It’s typical spoiled leftist criminal punks.
How do you know it’s fake? Or is that sarcasm?
How do you know it’s a hoax? It’s obviously the work of RAT vandals attacking Trump supporters.
Why do you think this is not the work of RAT criminals?
Oh please. Yeah, there are all sorts of Trump supporters running around town spraying pro Trump slogans with swastikas....
Dude, grow up, get a clue.
Just when I thought we had time to rest we now have to fight against the “false news” narrative or social media will lose free speech.
The battle never ends, my friend.
