A beat-up old Cadillac with Massachusetts plates had parked near the front of the restaurant, and a man and a woman wearing Nazi paraphernalia had gotten out.
The man wore a red Make America Great Again hat and a red armband with a black swastika on it. The woman wore a matching armband and a swastika T-shirt.
I said out loud, Are you kidding me? said Pierson, who lives in Pawtucket and works in an office right next to Parkside Rotisserie on South Main Street.
The swastika-wearing pair crossed the street to the Holocaust Memorial, leaned on the various statues, took pictures and laughed, Pierson said.
Piersons account was corroborated by another witness at the restaurant.
I confronted them, said Pierson, who left the restaurant and walked over to the memorial.
″What the hell do you think youre doing? she said she told them. How dare you do this?
The woman responded sarcastically, Pierson said, and the two walked back to their car. Pierson called the police and saw a cruiser drive by a short while later, but didnt think there was much the police could do.
Nevertheless, Pierson said she was horrified by the sight. The man, she said, had swastikas tattooed where his eyebrows should be.
sigh.

These losers who showed us who they are. And really who would hire people like that? They are probably on disability and get government handouts. Beat up Cadillac was probably one they got from dead grandpa.
How do you spell LOSERS put their picture above?
