“I know people from all walks of life in Rockland, from various towns and villages, and of various backgrounds,” Wieder said in a written statement. “Most of our residents are decent people who care about their families and their communities. They would never engage in this type of behavior.
“Unfortunately, there is a small group that has engaged in hate,” Wieder said. “It is up to the rest of us to stand as one in the face of this repugnant belief system and behavior. I know the majority of county residents join with me in condemning these actions.”
