It’s scary how often these incidents are happening, such a huge hatred could be felt, like kind of another big antisemitic outrage wants to erupt from under this american jew loving mask . Hashem yishmereinu
Oh come on, here in America? Lol
Trump! Trump! Trump!
When the thug is caught, simply place him in Pillories, and let him rot there taking many punches to his face.
