A group of New Yorkers came together to remove swastikas from a subway car
A group of New York City subway riders came together to remove Nazi imagery sprawled across a train on Saturday night.
Documented in a Facebook post by Gregory Locke, passengers in a Manhattan 1 train pooled resources to remove swastikas and hate speech from the train. According to Locke, swastikas had been drawn in Sharpie across every window and advertisement in the train car.
According to Locke, one passenger explained that hand sanitizer removes Sharpie and began scrubbing the messages off of the windows. More passengers quickly joined in, clearing the train car of hateful imagery in two minutes.
Locke's post has been shared nearly 200,000 times on Facebook, as of this writing. Chelsea Clinton shared a screenshot of the post on Twitter and encouraged her followers to carry hand sanitizer to combat similar situations in the future.
