Racisme og hærværk mod fars butik

One early Sunday morning, I walked down the street near my father’s newsagent shop. Suddenly I saw my father scrubbing the window display. Someone had sprayed the window display with spray paint. It said “Paki Scum GO HOME!” My father and I removed it together with hot water, soap and bleach. It was not the first time the shop had been paint, it was the third time I think. It was not cheap cleaning it off.

Two days later I got an idea - “we should try to install security cameras” I said to my father. Then we could be able to see, who was spray painting the window display. He said no, because the law it is against the law to film with security cameras outside the shop.

One week later I got a new idea. I could stand in the abandoned building in the other side of the street. Here I could see the persons who did it.

It was late night, everyone except me was sleeping. I stood in the abandoned building, no food, no water and only the light from my cellphone. I stood in many hours and suddenly I felt at sleep. Next morning I woke and saw that the window display was spray painted again.
