On Sunday August 20th an issue of the Valley War Bulletin was found in the Master Control Room of the Valley Free Radio with Swastikas marked on the foreheads of several VFR members/programmers, including one woman and one person of color. As the Board of Valley Free Radio, we consider this outrageous behavior, highly offensive, and racist/anti-Semitic. We also have to consider this a potential hate crime, as the defacement of people with such a violent symbol can be viewed as a threat, or a form of intimidation. Given that possibility, we have reported this incident to the Northampton Police Dept., who will be issuing a report within several days. Read more on Special Announcement from Board of Directors…
