Tombstones damaged at New York Jewish cemetery previously reported not vandalism, say police

[quote]Authorities have determined that tombstones disturbed at a historic Jewish cemetery in New York this weekend were damaged by environmental causes and not by vandalism.

A New York City Police Department hate-crime task force had been investigating whether the damage to the granite and marble tombstones at Washington Cemetery in Brooklyn was intentional.
The task force concluded its investigation on Sunday, finding that the cause was environmental, which can include soil erosion and lack of maintenance.

News of the disturbed tombstones came amid a series of bomb threats and vandalism targeting Jewish institutions, including cemeteries, schools and community centers.

Well hopefully nobody jumped to any awful conclusions on this.

We STILL blame you trump supporters, as you didn't prevent climate control.

And the bomb threats? Were those also considered "environmental causes"?

Pleasantly not-surprised. Stuff like this happens all the time with old stones.

You mean erosion prevention?

Who knows? Did they ever find a suspect?
