WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA — Several letters targeting the Jewish community were left on vehicles over the weekend in West Hollywood, officials said. City officials decried the messages in a statement on Sunday. "These reports are particularly distressing as we mark Harvey Milk Day," according to the statement, which was posted on the city's website. "...Hate has no place in the City of West Hollywood." Milk, who was Jewish, was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California. "..we will never forget the path he helped to build in rejecting discrimination and in embracing full civil rights," the statement read. "In honoring his life and in remembering how his life was cut short by hate-fueled violence, we must commit to standing together in rejecting hate." City officials urged residents to report additional messages or related suspicious activity to the West Hollywood Sheriff's Station at 310-855-8850.
