New immigration law may have sparked the vandalism
Officials have said that Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law may have sparked vandalism at the state Capitol involving swastikas smeared in re-fried beans. KTVK-TV, Phoenix, reported on Monday that when state Capitol police arrived on scene at about 6 a. m. Monday they said they found re-fried beans on the glass doors smeared in the shape of a swastika. The report said that beans were also used to write "AZ=Nazi."
Gustavo Ramirez, a protester from California, said, "That is what happens when there is so much fear and there is so much disappointment. The laws that have been passed, they are Nazi laws. They are not considering humanity. They are a crime against humanity."
KTVK-TV also reported that Ramirez says he doesn't support vandalism as a way to make a statement but does not support the law, SB 1070, signed Friday by Gov. Jan Brewer .
It legalizes racial profiling , say opponents of the new law, set to take effect this summer.
KTVK-TV further said that protests have been almost constant since the law's signing, but they have been peaceful. Demonstrators contend they will stay at the Capitol peacefully making their voices heard. (With Inputs from Agencies)
