Anti-Semitic vandals run wild in Brooklyn
Bigots fueled by hatred and beer terrorized a heavily-Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood Friday, torching three cars, vandalizing a van and defacing other property with anti-Semitic messages.
Stunned residents on the targeted Midwood block awakened to thick black smoke pouring from the cars — and other hateful reminders of Nazi viciousness on Ocean Parkway.
“It was horrible,” said 18-year-old Arlette Tebele, whose mother’s charcoal-colored BMW X5 SUV was reduced to charcoal in places by the flames.
“They were trying to send a message,” she said. “They’re anti-Jew, anti—Semites.”
Report: Anti-Semitic Arson, Vandalism In Midwood May Be Insurance Scam, Not Hate Crime
Car firebombings in Brooklyn last fall may have been an insurance scam and not a hate crime, according to a new report.
Now, the Daily News reports that sources say investigators believe the scene was only made to look like a bias crime. Beer bottles wiped of fingerprints were just some of the clues investigators say helped them determine that the attacks weren’t aimed at the Jewish community, but instead part of an elaborate insurance scam.
Lying lawyer slapped
A Queens lawyer has been suspended for six months for falsely accusing a New Jersey state trooper of using anti-Semitic slurs against him, according to a ruling released yesterday.
Attorney Elliott Dear said he made up the outrageous allegations in hopes of getting out of a speeding ticket.
Court papers say the unidentified trooper pulled over Dear, an orthodox Jew, for going 84 in a 55-mph zone while driving with his wife in 2007.
Six days after getting the ticket, Dear sent a letter to the traffic court saying, “This ticket shall be dismissed immediately” since he wasn’t speeding and “the officer called me a ‘Jew kike’ — and this prejudice obviously was the cause for the ticket,” the papers say.
The letter was forwarded to Internal Affairs, which contacted Dear, who repeated that he had been the victim of an ethnic slur.
Unfortunately for Dear — and luckily for the trooper — the traffic stop had been videotaped on the officer’s car camera, and the trooper was wearing a recording device.
Cops pull prints from beer bottles in hate crime
Investigators on the hunt for the bigots who terrorized a heavily Jewish Brooklyn enclave are lifting fingerprints from empty beer bottles found near the scene.
“We've recovered from the scene 27 empty Corona b*ottles, so those will be tested for fingerprints as well as DNA,” Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said Saturday.

The Latino community just filed a defamation lawsuit against the residents of the neighborhood. They allege the locals tried to frame them by planting Corona bottles.
All jokes aside, maybe that was their intention.edit on 11-1-2012 by Truth4Thought because: (no reason given)
On March 9th of this year, psychology Professor Kerri Dunn created a huge uproar in the usually quiet campus of Claremont McKenna College, located a few miles east of Los Angeles, when she reported that her car parked on a campus parking lot had been vandalized. She reported that her car windows had been broken, the tires slashed and a "swastika" as well as the words "Nigger Lover" and "Kike Whore" had been painted on the doors and hood.
It did not take long for the Jewish faculty, lesbian and homosexual students, and the student organization Hillel of B'nai B'rith to capitalize on the incident and demand concessions from the college administration. Hillel representative D’ror Chankin-Gould said that the attack came as no surprise. He linked the incident to growing anti-Semitism worldwide. “We are here to say that we are scared,” said Chankin-Gould. “Swastikas and broken glass trigger potent memories for Jews,” he added. The campus was closed for an entire day in order to, in the words of College President Pamela Gann, ". . . provide time and opportunity for our students and faculty to reflect on the meaning and significance of this horrible hate crime."
