Earlier today, Gov. Cuomo condemned the hate crime...

In New York we have zero tolerance for this sort of vile and cowardly act of hate. I'm directing the State Police Hate Crimes Unit to assist the NYPD with its investigation to ensure those responsible are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.https://t.co/W9DQYXTKfc

Unfortunately, Avenue A wasn't the only place to receive a hateful message ... this is on the east side of Norfolk Street just north of Delancy (h/t @madaecnerwal) ...

I'm surprised the exertion of spraying paint from a can didn't cause the salad dodger to have a heart attack.

Wait, this idiot is allegedly going around spray painting anti-gay slurs all over the neighborhood while sporting long hair and carrying a murse? It looks like the handwriting is the same on both tags, and so is the black paint. Now that he has Governor Cuomo looking for him. I give this mental midget until sunrise tomorrow before he is caught.

Unfortunately, this is America.

Surprised Cuomo didn't bring out the national guard. What a grand stander.
I think the NYPD can handle this nicely.

Who is covering for this mutant?

Someone must as he is distinctive.
