Norwich Man Charged with Spray-Painting Swastikas Across City

In Wayland, Massachusetts, a swastika was found spray-painted on the Wayland Community Pool, prompting a police investigation and a swift response to cover the symbol. Town officials expressed their outrage, stating that such hateful acts do not reflect community values and have reached out to the Anti-Defamation League for support. Meanwhile, in Norwich, Connecticut, 40-year-old David Dionne was arrested for spray-painting swastikas at multiple locations, including near a synagogue, with some displaying the word 'TRUMP.' Police identified Dionne through surveillance footage and interviews, charging him with breach of peace and criminal mischief. Both incidents highlight ongoing issues with antisemitism and community responses to hate symbols. Authorities in both towns urge anyone with further information to come forward.
