US Woke former Methodist official caught drawing swastika on Jewish woman's groceries in LA - The woman said it occurred not long after the former Methodist official called her a fascist at a homeowner’s association meeting for hanging an Israeli flag from her balcony.

Video has gone viral of the retired West District Superintendent of the United Methodist Church’s California-Pacific Conference allegedly drawing a swastika on a Jewish neighbor’s groceries late last year.

On December 55, 2023, at around 10:15 pm, Leah Grossman captured Mark Nakagawa leaning down and writing on a box of seltzer at her front door, according to KCAL.

Grossman confronted Nakagawa, asking if there was "a problem" and "is that a Nazi symbol" he had just drawn.




L.A. - disturbing video footage captures Mark Nakagawa, President of the United Methodist Church, taking a marker and drawing a swastika on a Jewish woman's package of soda.

Nakagawa said there wasn’t a problem, adding that it wasn’t a Nazi symbol and that "I’m just walking by here. I don’t know."

Grossman noted that she had Nakagawa on camera committing the act, asking "I have a camera. Like, what is that? What did you draw there?"

Nakagawa responded, "I don’t know."

Grossman, a single Jewish mother raising two boys under the age of 12, said this occurred not long after Nakagawa called her a fascist at a homeowner’s association meeting for hanging an Israeli flag from her balcony following the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.

"What's going on in the world has really opened up a crevasse of anti-Semitism and I think people feel really emboldened to push Jewish people around. People just shouldn't get away with this," Grossman said.

Nakagawa told KCAL it was Grossman who called him a fascist and claimed that he was trying to educate Grossman on the history of the Buddhist symbol.

"The way I went about it, in hindsight, the way I went about it was not the right away to go about it. It was bad judgment on my part. I realize that," said Nakagawa.

Nakagawa has a history of supporting leftist ideas. In 2019, he spoke out in opposition to the Methodist Church continuing not to allow openly gay people to be ordained, and stating that clergy can not perform same-sex marriages and the church would not host same-sex marriages.

"It would have removed all references of sexuality from the Book of Discipline, it would have allowed individual clergy and individual congregations to make their own decisions on who to marry and who not to marry, and it would have allowed each conference to decide who to ordain and not to ordain," Nakagawa wrote in a letter, according to Nichi Bei News.

On Facebook, Nakagawa posted a picture of a lawn sign that read, "rejoice in the birth of a brown-skinned, middle-eastern undocumented immigrant" as the Christmas season unfolded.

Nakagawa also posted a piece by liberal journalist Robert Kuttner, titled "How Things Will Get Better for Biden and the Dems" from January 2022.

"If DeSantis can hint at a presidential run, others will follow. Trump will do more damage to his party by running lunatic unelectable MAGA candidates in primaries. And then the story becomes Republicans in disarray," Kuttner wrote in the post shared by Nakagawa.

Serves it right for being subhuman garbage.

I'm sure you're very happy another retard went and did it while you sat on your ass and risked nothing.

Who else lost at "guess the race" this time?

In all fairness, that looks more like a European "z" than a swastika. Maybe he was practicing his moon runes.

He lost at swatiska as well it looks like he's trying to promote Native American swastika

Anita, please warm up the helicopter. You're flying left seat. Yuri, please fly right seat. Will and Milton, please assist Mike, the crew chief, after the rest of us have completed the special processing.

I love nothing more than seeing yet another retard trying to fake racism and fucking up something as simple as drawing the no no symbol. White supremacy is so ever present and horrifyingly dangerous that these niggers don't even know what a fucking swastika looks like lol

 

[LeChampion1992]

Again I feel like we need to have a national draw swastika day so we can at least get hate crime hoaxes on point.
If you're unsure how to draw a swastika look at the pic related. I swear I wish people would actually be smart with their hate crime hoaxes.

 

[Coldgrip]

It's not even pointing the right way.

make another fucking copypasta, christ.

y'all persecuting this man for nothing, looking at the angles, it's clear he wasn't drawing a swastika, he just didn't get a chance to add the head and face

Anita, please warm up the helicopter. You're flying left seat. Yuri, please fly right seat. Will and Milton, please assist Mike, the crew chief, after the rest of us have completed the special processing.

This sounds like a waste of fuel and man-hours.

Just strip him naked, paint a rising sun on his back, and dump him in Koreatown. They'll sort it out.

You know I hate to give such idiots ideas, but with how often these people who fake them almost ALWAYS fail swastikas, why not just write "White power." somewhere instead? At least that's almost impossible to fuck up.

Jewish woman says camera caught neighbor drawing swastika on her seltzer

Leah Grossman was having trouble with her homeowners association, but the 48-year-old West Hollywood resident said she never thought one of its board members would draw what appeared to be a swastika on her belongings late at night.

The incident was captured on video, Grossman said, as one of her neighbors, then a member of the association board, walked over to her front door, pulled the cap off a black marker, and drew a symbol on a box of seltzer water she’d left outside her door.

“I was so shaken,” Grossman, who is Jewish, told The Times. “This panic just washed over me. I was shaking.”

The incident followed instances when she clashed with the now-former member of the board, including accusations — from both sides — of barbed words being traded, and alleged complaints over Grossman hanging an Israeli flag from her balcony.

Her first thought after the late-night incident, she said, was relief that her two children, ages 9 and 11, were already in bed.

She too was getting ready for bed on Dec. 5 when, sometime after 10 p.m., she said she got an alert on her phone that someone was at her front door.

The alert caught her attention because not only does she live in a corner of the condominium building that receives little to no foot traffic on most days, but also it was late at night.

The woman, who is Jewish, says the incident caught on video followed clashes with her homeowners association.

In the video, a man Grossman identified as neighbor Mark Nakagawa is seen walking toward her door, pulling the cap off a black marker, and drawing on a box of seltzer water that Grossman had forgotten to bring inside earlier that day.

After witnessing this on her front-door camera, Grossman then pulled open her door.

“Is there a problem?” the woman is seen in the video saying as Nakagawa walks by her door.

“No,” he is heard saying.

“Is that the Nazi sign?”

“No.”

“What is that?”

“I’m just walking by here, I don’t know,” he answers.

“I saw you,” Grossman says. “I have a camera. Like, what is that? What did you draw there?”

“I don’t know,” Nakagawa answers before walking away.

The incident, Grossman said, has left her distressed.

The following day she filed a report with Los Angeles police, according to records shared with The Times. Police declined to pursue the case, she said.

Her homeowners association, however, did take some action after she contacted the management company saying she was afraid of having contact with Nakagawa.

Nakagawa did not return multiple messages seeking comment from The Times.

A few days after the incident, Grossman received a letter from her homeowners association’s legal counsel, informing her that Nakagawa had agreed to resign from the board and also to stay away from Grossman or anyone who was visiting her at the building.

“This is to clarify that Mr. Nakagawa’s alleged conduct was in his individual capacity, not in his capacity as a member of the Association’s Board of Directors, and such conduct was not expressly or impliedly authorized, sanctioned, endorsed, ratified or otherwise consented by the board,” the letter reads.

Grossman said she’d butted heads with her HOA in the past, especially over her complaints that needed repairs were not done. She’d clashed during one HOA meeting, in particular, with Nakagawa when she told the member of the board that she felt the HOA was being run like a “fascist dictatorship.”

She claimed Nakagawa called her a fascist for hanging an Israeli flag on her balcony.

Grossman said Nakagaw tried to contact her after the incident on Dec. 5, but she refused to answer messages and hung up on him.

Nakagawa told KCAL that Grossman called him a fascist, and told the news station he’d wanted to “educate” Grossman about origins of the symbol, referring to the Buddhist “manji” symbol.

The manji symbol, which resembles a swastika, faces the opposite direction. The symbol Nakagawa drew on the box of seltzer, though it resembled a swastika, was not accurately drawn like either of the two.

“The way I went about it, in hindsight, the way I went about it was not the right way to go about it,” he told the station.

Grossman said she didn’t buy the reason. She pointed out that the comment about her flag occurred days after the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.

“Personally I’m afraid of him, and I know that may sound dramatic,” she said. “I just want to be left alone.”

That isnt a swastika? Am i having a stroke? That looks like an “8”.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Looks like the Brand of Sacrifice to me, it's just the man must've forgotten how to finish it.

 

[Vesperus]

The real crime here is Kroger pink grapefruit seltzer water, which contains 10mg of sodium per can when there's only 2mg in a cup of pure juice.

Lady, that's not a threat, it's a warning that Kroger is trying to genocide you for your poor choice in beverages.

 

[Kheapathic]

I'm usually against HOAs and their bullshit, but I'm down for this. Also, West Hollywood and in an HOA, come the fuck on, there's no white goyim there.

Call me a conspiracy tard, but that video is a little too perfect, the only way it'd be perfect is if anyone could draw a proper fucking swastika/manji, ever.

 

[glad vlad]

The retard swastika is extremely funny. A+.

 

[Megaton Punch]

Call me a conspiracy tard, but that video is a little too perfect,

It's very strange how she apparently decided to place a box of water right in the middle of the camera for a long enough period of time for her neighbor to saunter up and casually draw a down syndrome swastika, stare right at the camera, then leave.

What I can't figure out is why he'd agree to do this. I know second generation Asians are usually true believer cultists, but to basically brand yourself as a Nazi in California is to lose everything. The man will be lucky to have a home and a bank account by the end of the month.
