Neighbor Says "KKK" Painting Not the Full Story in Richmond Heights

A man who lives close to the homes and cars spray-painted with "KKK" on Saturday night said that's not indicative of the neighborhood.

Mathew Ritter lives on Bredell Avenue across from one of the Richmond Heights homes spray-painted with the letters “KKK” last Saturday night. He said the vandalism and related news coverage upset him. He contacted Patch to tell his side of the story of the neighborhood. He and his wife have lived there since 2010. “I can’t give the demographics of the street, but I can tell you we have Asian Americans up there, African Americans all around, it’s mixed, it’s diverse,” he said. “There’s never been anything like that at all, so I was very upset about it.” He said around 7:30 Saturday night he noticed police cars on Thomas Avenue and blue spray paint on a car, and thought that was all. Then on Sunday morning he saw “KKK” spray-painted on a …

"KKK" Painted on Richmond Heights Houses Saturday Night, Update: Suspect Transferred to Hospital Psych Ward

A Richmond Heights woman said a man came to her door who appeared to be drunk with a can of spray paint in his hand.

Someone spray-painted the letters "KKK" on two houses in Richmond Heights on Saturday—one in the 7700 block of Weston Place and the other in the 1600 block of Bredell Avenue. The suspect or suspects also painted the letters on a fence and ripped the railing off a front porch. Alisha Allen said her husband answered the door Saturday night and a man who she said appeared to be drunk was there, with a can of spray paint in his hand. She said he pulled the railing off her porch, and she assumes he was the one who spray-painted “KKK” on her house and car. Allen told Patch a red fence nearby also was spray-painted, but has since been painted over. The Rusan family, in the 7700 block of Weston Place, also found “KKK” painted on the front of their…

I live on Weston Place, where the vandalism occurred. Weston Place is a quiet mixed neighborhood of Whites and African Americans. There is also a small Asian community a block away on West Bruno. Everyone lives in this neighborhood in harmony with no racial tension or problems. I have lived in this neighborhood for almost 15 years and nothing like this has ever happened. This was NOT a hate crime…   more ›
