USA - Teens who spray-painted swastikas, racial slurs in Troutdale, sentenced to learn about the Holocaust

Two 18-year-old men who went on a rampage in Troutdale, spray-painting swastikas, KKKs and racial slurs on two churches, tombstones in the Jewish section of a cemetery and parked cars, were sentenced to jail terms of 30 to 90 days.

Both Timothy Charles Feininger and Brendan Scott Mackey pleaded guilty in Multnomah County Circuit Court to first-degree intimidation, criminal mischief and burglary.

Feininger and Mackey's crime spree, which took place from Feb. 6 to Feb. 16, shook the community. The two spray-painted the Cherry Park Presbyterian Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Eastside Jewish Cemetery section of the Douglass Pioneer Cemetery with slurs directed toward Jews, Mormons, blacks and police.
