Star of David?

A few months ago I went to dinner at the Milwaukie location of Black Angus. After eating more than my share of red meat I saw the contents of today's picture on the sidewalk. It is a yellow felt Star of David. It was pretty crudely cut and sitting all by itself. I didn't know how it got there, but something wasn't right. I think it bothers me because it reminds me of the what Schindler's List showed the Jews wearing in the concentration camps. This of course reminds me of an Office Space quote.

Peter Gibbons: Doesn't it bother you that you have to get up in the morning and you have to put on a bunch of pieces of flair?
Joanna: Yeah, but I'm not about to go in and start taking money from the register.
Peter Gibbons: Well, maybe you should. You know, the Nazis had pieces of flair that they made the Jews wear.
