Chicago, IL – A group of teenagers broke into
now-vacant St. Cornelius School, spray-painted racist and antisemitic graffiti
and posted it all on Snapchat.
Around 8 p.m. on Jan. 27, the youths climbed into the
building, 5252 N. Long Ave., through a bathroom window, smashed about 15
computers and painted swastikas alongside messages like “Fuck Jews”
and “Nigger Die,” according to the report. The culprits left candy
wrappers and bottles of rum and beer behind them.
Police obtained a Snapchat video of one of the suspects,
whom a tipster identified as a “former student” now attending a
different school, according to the report. One graffiti message made crude
mention of “Father Dan,” apparently referring to the Rev. Daniel
Fallon, the head pastor of St. Cornelius Rectory.
