USA - College students charged with spree of anti-Semitic graffiti
Anti-Semitic and anti-gay graffiti on the pedestal of a bust of FDR in the town of Roosevelt
Three college students are charged with spray-painting swastikas on statues and signs in three central New Jersey communities.
Authorities say "stupidity" was the motive.
The vandalism happened in East Windsor, Trenton, N.J. last month.
Police say they cracked the case with a tip from someone who said the men had bought spray paint at a Wal-Mart.
Nicholas Kurahara, who attends the University of Delaware; Nikolai Afanassenkov, who attends the University of Hartford; and Max Drazdik, who attends George Washington University, are charged with bias intimidation and bias-based criminal mischief.
