Swastikas pasted on Los Angeles City Councilman Jack Weiss' office

The councilman, who is Jewish, says the messages were meant to intimidate his staff.

A vandal Thursday morning glued drawings of swastikas and two anti-Semitic messages to the front of the Sherman Oaks office of Los Angeles City Councilman Jack Weiss.

Epoxied to the glass front door were three 8 1/2 -by-11-inch sheets of paper, each showing the Nazi flag in color. Another sheet, glued above Weiss' name on the door, contained a printed message: "Mein Fuhrer Die Office Official of Natziesque Extraordinaire."

The final sheet contained a long message that began: "Our policy: we have no time to listen to Jewish American children!!! If you don't believe us, just try talking to us…. Hail Weiss!"

Miller said police had identified a suspect, but no arrest had been made as of Thursday evening. Miller and Weiss' office said employees there had had previous contact with the individual, but no other details were provided.

The councilman said he believed the messages were intended to intimidate him and his staff. "I won't be intimidated, my office and my staff won't be intimidated, and we will continue going about our official duties on behalf of the citizens of Los Angeles."
