From NYPost.com:
Nazi runic graffiti is once again marring walls in Brooklyn with hate, cops said.
This time, the mysterious Hitler-linked message “Triumph of Will” was found scrawled in black spray paint just a block away from the Holocaust Memorial Park in Sheepshead Bay, police said.
In the same area, the number “88″ — a code among neo-Nazis for the phrase “Heil Hitler” — was found painted on 13 trees, along with German iron crosses and “SS” symbols.
I kept trying to tell Will it wasn’t such a great idea…

Theses were all up and down homecrest, shore parkway, and Williams court/11th st area up until a few days ago. ALL the trees along the park had 88 on them, and every lightpost had an iron cross.
Also, some strange font graffitti along Shore Parkway and Homecrest ave corner building.
I went out to the memorial and the surrounding area, yesterday without knowing where the graffiti was located and didn’t find anything. No one, not even the Manhattan Beach private patrol had heard anything about it. Guess it’s all cleaned up.
The symbols were removed from most trees on Homecrest Ave on the side of the park. Last night I saw the “88″ symbol spray painted on the trees in front of 2615, 2645, and 2665 buildings.
If you get a picture that might give me an example of what runic writing is like, so I know when I see it. When I went out looking for the markings, every single thing written, painted or carved, whether on a tree or the concrete or a park bench made me wonder if that was the marking.
