Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa denounced a Molotov cocktail attack on a Jewish community campus in the city, calling it a “sad reminder” of racism.
“Yesterday’s attack … is a poignant and sad reminder that racism, anti-Semitism and prejudice still exist in our society,” Villaraigosa said in a statement.
“In a city defined by unparalleled diversity, hate crimes of any kind will not be tolerated and this incident will not go unanswered,” Villaraigosa said.
“In one voice, we must condemn this attack,” Villaraigosa said.”As one city, we must work to ensure that no Angeleno is forced to fear for their lives or their safety because of their race, religion or ethnicity.”
