Three teenagers were arrested in Florida after reportedly spending a month vandalizing buildings with racial slurs and anti-Semitic characters.

The teens are suspected of vandalizing public buildings and parks in three separate events. The initial incident took place in October during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Investigators in Florida also claim that multiple anti-Semitic and hateful inscriptions were also spray painted both inside and outside the restrooms on the golf course at Weston Hills.

During a press conference on Thursday, Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony, talked about the arrest of the three 16-year-old boys.

“It brought back a lot of pain and suffering into the Jewish community, but also as well into the African-American community,” he said.

The suspects reportedly told authorities they did it all as a joke. All three teens are now facing felony charges, some of which were enhanced to hate crimes.

The State of Georgia is wrapping up early voting in the runoff race for Senate.

The Georgia Senate race is still important because Senators are only elected every 6 years. If Walker wins, his seat will give Republicans a head start for 2024 where 23 of the 33 seats that will be up for grabs are held by Democrats. #Georgia #senate

Friday is the final day to cast an early ballot in the Peach State, ahead of Tuesday’s election.

As of Thursday night, more than a million Georgians had voted early in the tight election between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker.

Georgia election officials predict record-breaking early voting numbers, with this year’s voter turnout and absentee ballots exceeding prior runoff records in 2016 and 2018.

If Walker wins, the Senate will be split 50-50 with the vice president breaking any ties.
