The incident is being investigated as a hate or bias-motivated crime.
he also sprayed them with something which is much more illegal
Very true. As a Jew, shouting “gas the Jews” at me would be highly offensive and would qualify as hate speech with an incitement to violence, but he might be able to get off on First Amendment grounds. But spraying a mystery substance on people while shouting this? Even if the mystery substance ends up being benign, that’s still assault.

Man was not arrested for saying anything. Man was arrested for spraying unknown substance on two people.
Apparently, media buys are so expensive, GOP candidates are now just shouting their platforms into the streets.
Y’all are so fucking inconsistent with your strawmans.
I’m not. I love to light the same strawmen on fire over and over, but only if they are conservatives.
My point is, given current events, someone yelling “gas the Jews” is probably doing so because they are in support of Palestine, and if someone is in support of Palestine, they’re probably not Republican.
That’s a massive leap of logic. Antisemitism was around before November 7. Could just be a Kanye West fan. Most likely dude was wearing a red hat.
No, because everyone in support of Palestine has a problem with the Israeli government and Hamas. Not the Israeli or Palestinian people.
It’s white supremacists that conflate “Jews” with Israel, and if someone is a white supremacist they’re probably a republican.
Glad the man is arrested. So disgusting.
What even is the best case scenario when doing something like that? Some random bystander go: “yeah”?
They become the darling of regressive media. Even if that doesn’t happen for them, they get to feel like an underground hero that is being repressed.
These people have literally built persecution fantasies into a religion.
He could theoretically whip up a mob, if things were bad enough and enough people decided they were bored. Crowds attract bigger crowds, but it really doesn’t even take a large one to become a physical threat worthy of law enforcement in the…apparently depressingly likely event of.
Though I hesitate to think best case was the intended phrasing here.
I read this out of context in a stray open tab and read that as “Crows attract bigger crows…”, which I don’t know is not that far fetched.
Reading again, reality is much less fun.Crows can hunt in packs, and they’re known to mob enemies. They’ll even distract otters while another crow sneaks up and takes all their fish.
I would think it stranger if the goings-on of a tiny, flaccid, xenophobic asshole crow screaming crow racisms under some tree by itself didn’t pique the interest of others.
Also, gtfo of my notifications, Enduring. (Pls do not gtfo of my notifs, it’s always amusing to run into you out and about. Hope you guys are feeling any type of better)
Oh, hi. lol
I like crows, they’re smart and even friendly? somewhat if you’re not an asshole to them.
Having ups and downs, sleeping more than Mr Cat, which is a feat.
See you around :)
Are you sure that’s not just Rosanne Barr in a fake mustache?
Don’t slander her, I doubt she needs a fake one.
WTF is wrong with people?
Well a guy’s gotta have a hobby.
I’m surprised he didn’t use another word instead of Jews.

Maybe we don’t even jokingly make excuses for bigotry around here?
Just a thought.
Jews and Israelis are not the same thing you bigot fuck
