Downtown L.A. Mural "Shameful Act of Anti-Semitism," Mayor Says
(Los Angeles Times) Alene Tchekmedyian - A mural in downtown Los Angeles that depicts a Grim Reaper wearing a cloak covered with Stars of David, holding what appears to be a dead baby and a missile, was blasted by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's office as a "shameful act of anti-Semitism." "Imagery like this should have no place in our city," said the mayor's spokesman Alex Comisar. "We're looking into the recourse that we have to have it taken down." The Anti-Defamation League on Tuesday called for the mural's removal.
