Oaklyn Police Seek 'Infowars.com' Graffitists

Alex Jones' Infowars.com is known for stirring the pot, and its readers enjoy doing the same. But today the borough of Oaklyn isn't looking too kindly on the latest monkeyshines to invoke the name of the counterculture website.

On Aug. 29 and 30, Oaklyn police found four separate instances of graffiti throughout the borough in which "INFOWARS.COM" had been spray-painted in red and black paint.

They collected forensic evidence at the scene of each incident that was submitted to the New Jersey State Police crime lab for processing. Each is being considered a separate act of criminal mischief.

"Infowars is your basic anti-government, anti-corruption website," wrote Patch tech blogger in an email. "That is what most of the material is about. Any public display or tagging for Infowars is strictly to get more recognition for the name and the website."

In fact, the beta version of the Planet Infowars social networking website even has a gallery of "Street Art," where users are invited to submit images of various protest-themed political art, some of it graffiti, some not. (Jones has formally discouraged illegal pamphleteering and vandalism in the name of the Infowars brand.)

According to a press release from Oaklyn Police Chief Joseph T. Abbate, police believe that "someone may recognize the writing or may have information about someone who has shown interest in the website," and are asking anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Oaklyn P.D. Detective Bureau at 856-854-0049, extensions 6028 or 6030.
