2 teens arrested for painting 73 swastikas on playground in Brooklyn area with many Jews

JL;DR SUMMARY Two teenagers were arrested for spraying 73 swastikas on a playground in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, as part of an antisemitic vandalism spree. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
