Scumbags do this. Narrow minded wankers that have probably never left NI and think the world stops on our coast. They will have never experienced hospitality in foreign lands and so their pee brains can't contemplate difference.
Swastika attack on couple 'sick'
Paul Morton had to paint over the graffiti daubed on the house
Politicians have condemned a racist attack on a County Antrim couple during which slogans and swastikas were painted on their home.
Portballintrae man Paul Morton, who recently married an African nurse, said he was living in fear after the attack.
Assembly member Anna Lo said such attacks portrayed a negative image of Northern Ireland.
Councillor Norman Hillis said the perpetrators were sick, adding: "It is just ignorance and bigotry."
He added: "This is like going back into the dark ages. I know that all the decent people in Portballentrae will take it really personally.
"It is a close knit society there, they have a great community association. It is the sort of thing I could not envisage happen in Portballentrae. I am totally appalled."
The couple have recently beeen married
A car belonging to Mr Morton, a taxi driver, was damaged during the incident. His wife, Lungile Tiny, was not at home at the time, as she attends nursing college in Dublin.
Mr Morton and his wife, who is originally from Zimbabwe, had just moved into the house in July, and police are treating the attack as a hate crime.
He said he was afraid that they may come back and carry out more serious attacks.
"They could throw things through your windows or pour stuff through your letterbox," he said.
Mr Morton said they have not experienced any animosity in the village since the wedding.
"I'm born and bred in Bushmills and it's a complete shock - you always hear about these things happening but never expect it to happen to you," he said.
"To think it's maybe somebody you've known all your life who did it makes it even worse."
