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.
Are you sure that’s not just Rosanne Barr in a fake mustache?
Don’t slander her, I doubt she needs a fake one.
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.
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
