A recent incident on Devon Avenue involved vandalism where an individual was caught smashing windows and painting swastikas outside Jewish businesses. This person has since been released on bail, and his photograph was featured in the local newspaper. Observers noted his unusually small mouth, suggesting a bizarre and almost comical aspect to his appearance, which contrasts sharply with the severe nature of his actions.

The individual is reportedly affiliated with a skinhead group and has tattoos, which raises some intriguing points about irony in anti-Semitism. The author, David Sedaris, reflects on this contradiction, emphasizing that Jews in concentration camps were often marked with tattoos and had shaved heads. He questions why those motivated by hate would adopt a look that resembles the very victims they despise, highlighting the absurdity in such symbolism.
