      XPost: alt.politics.libertarian, alt.society.civil-liberty, ott.politics       XPost: rec.arts.tv              New York (CNN)Gregory Locke was enjoying his Saturday night       after dinner with friends in Manhattan when he boarded the No. 1       subway train at 50th Street to head uptown.              Almost immediately, he knew something was up.              "Everybody was sitting there stunned," said Locke, a New York       attorney originally from Atlanta, Georgia. "It wasn't until the       doors closed behind me that I saw it on the windows of the       doors."              Someone had used a Sharpie to scrawl swastikas and hate-filled       graffiti all over the subway car: "Jews belong in the oven,"       "Destroy Islam," "Heil Hitler."              Chef Jared Nied scrubs graffiti from the subway car Saturday       night.              Passengers looked uncomfortable and unsure of what to do, Locke       said. But then a man stood up and said, "Hand sanitizer gets rid       of Sharpie pen. We need alcohol," Locke told CNN.              That man was Jared Nied, a chef at a Manhattan restaurant.              Another passenger helps to remove the graffiti from the train.              "The woman across the car saw me looking at the graffiti, asked       me if I could do something and offered a tissue. That's when it       clicked that sanitizer would work," Nied told CNN via text       message Sunday.              Then, "everyone started digging into their pockets and bags for       hand sanitizer and wipes," Locke said.              Nied and other passengers got to work on erasing the graffiti.       He told CNN they were "satisfied in just doing the right thing."              "It was very uplifting to see everyone come together like that,"       said Locke. The attorney posted an account of the incident on       Facebook and it quickly went viral.              As of midday Sunday Locke's post had been shared more than       250,000 times and was even noticed by former first daughter       Chelsea Clinton, who tweeted about it.              Don't be so pious Chelsea, your mommy's supporters are       responsible for it.              http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/05/us/subway-nazi-graffiti-new-york-       trnd/                      --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
