Passengers on a New York Subway cart stood together and cleaned hateful anti semitic graffiti off the interior of the train.

 

Gregory Locke, a New York lawyer published the inspirational post yesterday which has been shared over half a million times.

Locke got on the subway in Manhattan on Sunday night and found a Swastika on every advertisement and every window.

The train was silent as everyone stared at each other, uncomfortable and unsure what to do.

One guy got up and said, “Hand sanitizer gets rid of Sharpie. We need alcohol.” He found some tissues and got to work.

I’ve never seen so many people simultaneously reach into their bags and pockets looking for tissues and Purel. Within about two minutes, all the Nazi symbolism was gone.

Nazi symbolism. On a public train. In New York City. In 2017.

“I guess this is Trump’s America,” said one passenger.

“No sir, it’s not. Not tonight and not ever. Not as long as stubborn New Yorkers have anything to say about it.”
