Cobb County Neighborhood Scarred by Racist Graffiti: Report

KENNESAW, GA — Residents of a Cobb County neighborhood awoke Wednesday morning to discover racist graffiti spray-painted on their street, an Atlanta TV station reported.

Images of a swastika and the N-word were scrawled in bright orange paint, WSB-TV Channel 2 reported. Residents in the neighborhood off Bells Ferry Road said they were shocked by the graffiti.

"It's upsetting, because it's a family neighborhood, little kids all over the yard," one neighbor told Channel 2. The woman said she contacted the Cobb County Police Department and asked them to track down the vandals.

Another resident said the neighborhood is diverse, with people of all ages, including black and white.
