Teenager who desecrated headstones and drew antisemitic symbols on politician’s office jailed for two years

A teenager who desecrated headstones and drew antisemitic symbols on a politician’s office has been jailed for two years.

James Malcolm, 18, pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and maliciously damaging headstones, causing £27,000 of damage to 27 headstones where a swastika scrawled on a piece of glass was found nearby.

In addition, he scribbled offensive slogans, including “Adolf Hitler” and “White Power” and drew antisemitic and neo-Nazi symbols, including a Star of David being hung on gallows, on Rona Mackay MSP’s office.

He also yelled “Heil Hitler” at a sixteen-year-old in a park and vandalised two national parks and a police cell with his own blood.

Mr Malcolm was jailed for two years and four months at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
