Boston vandal damages Holocaust memorial, Paul Revere’s tombstone in ‘one-man crime spree’

A vandal was arrested for going on a “one-man crime spree” through downtown Boston, smashing windows at the city’s Holocaust memorial, damaging a police cruiser and even vandalizing Paul Revere’s tombstone.

Lawrence Hawkins, 46, is accused of breaking windows at eight different sites and damaging 20 tombstones, including that of the Revolutionary War icon Revere famous for warning the colonists that “the British are coming” in 1775.

Hawkins, who was living at a shelter, allegedly hurled bricks and rocks through the windows and doors of multiple businesses and federal buildings as well as the glass towers that make up the New England Holocaust Memorial from late Saturday night into the early morning hours Sunday, NBC10 Boston reported.

Assistant Suffolk County District Attorney Samuel Jones described Hawkins’ alleged vandalism as “his own one-man crime spree in downtown Boston” during a court hearing Monday, according to the local news station.

I think about 10,000 man hours cleaning graffiti from Boston buildings and bridges would do nicely. :headbang:

Too lenient.  Rather see testicles painfully removed so that there is a 100% chance of no further procreation of his dna.

Being held for a mental health evaluation, let me guess the result... he wasn't responsible because he was mentally diminished at the time, well my solution differs from some others here, we need to reopen mental health institutions and people like this should be dropped in and medicated, maybe put him in a rubber room and dose him with acid, like all day every day and he can act out all he wants.

Despicable. Lock him up and throw away the key.  He is a menace to society

Sad. I know those sites well. The King’s Chapel and Granary Burying Grounds are among my favorite places in Boston.

It would have been cheaper to give him a one way bus ticket to San Francisco where such things are no longer prosecuted crimes.
