27-year-old Gregory Locke and 30 other passengers were the first to notice the hateful symbolism.
After Locke pointed out how disgusted he was with the graffiti, a fellow passenger said you can easily remove sharpie with hand sanitizer.

Gregory was so impressed with the compassion of his fellow subway riders that he went on Facebook to praise their efforts.
