Shanklin Football Club on the Isle of Wight has been left shaken after vandals sprayed offensive swastikas on their clubhouse walls – and shockingly, even on a public defibrillator outside.
Hate Graffiti Sparks Backlash
Photos shared online show the hateful symbols daubed across the club’s premises and on life-saving equipment, sparking fury from the local community.
Club officials labelled the act “highly offensive” and “mindless”, stunned that anyone would desecrate a defibrillator – a device that could save lives, perhaps even of the vandals’ own family.
“Whoever did this you are true scum,” said a spokesperson for Isle of Wight Defibrillators.
