The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating after a Pride flag was ripped down and stolen from a home in Queens. The theft was caught on video. JennBisramTV spoke with the homeowners in Fresh Meadows.
Last September, the flag he had up was destroyed, and in 2021, his flag was also smashed on the ground.
"It hurts to know that you can be a target in a neighborhood where you're friendly with your neighbors, where things like this typically don't happen," Rich Marzullo told CBS2's Zinnia Maldonado."These are people who live in the neighborhood that are doing this. Somebody knows who they are, and they need to know that they can't keep doing this."Neighbors said hate is not welcome in their community and it sends the wrong message.
"It's sad, that's all I have to say. These are wonderful people and there's no reason why they have to be hurt that way," neighbor Rita Merlis said."There's enough hate all around us, outside. But here, coming here to our little community -- no, no, no, I'm sorry, doesn't belong." "We're sad, I hate that that happened to him, the second year," said Lisa Moise, who works next door."My daughter is with the LGBTQ community too and it saddens my heart."Meanwhile, a new Pride flag is back up outside the home.
