'Night of Broken Glass' Strikes Jewish Stores in New Jersey
Highland Park targeted in a series of anti-Semitic attacks on at least five Jewish-owned establishments.
Chana Ya'ar & Elad Benari
The central New Jersey community of Highland Park was targeted Tuesday night in a series of anti-Semitic attacks on at least five Jewish-owned establishments.
Vandals hurled bricks through the plate glass windows of a kosher restaurant, a kosher pizza shop, two Judaica stores, and a Jewish-owned hardware store.
At least three other Jewish-owned establishments in nearby New Brunswick were also similarly attacked, including the Rutgers Chabad House, the Rutgers Hillel and an Israeli-owned falafel eatery.
The destruction took place on the anniversary of the 1947 United Nations Partition Vote to create the Jewish State in Palestine.
A report published by the Algemeiner Journal quoted "Facebook rumors" relating two separate incidents in which a local individual made anti-Semitic remarks and threatened to launch a new Kristallnacht -- a reference to the 1938 "night of broken glass" pogrom that launched the Nazi Holocaust in Germany. However, it is not clear whether the two incidents were related, nor is it clear whether all the attacks were perpetrated by the same vandal or vandals.
The newspaper pointed out that Highland Park has recently elected an Orthodox Jewish man as its mayor.
Local police said in a statement detectives were "actively investigating these incidents and are in contact with and coordinating efforts with other law enforcement agencies that may be able to expedite the investigation."
However, police cautioned that it was "too soon to reach a conclusion" as to the nature of the crimes.
"We would also like to briefly address the fear that these are acts motivated by anti-Semitism or that these are bias crimes," the statement said. "The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office has been notified, but it is too soon to reach a conclusion.
“All of our officers are aware of the sensitivity of this situation and we will make every effort with patrols and surveillance to keep everyone safe. We would like to encourage you to communicate with your congregants and urge them to avoid speculation which could lead to unnecessary anxiety."

This was hideously evil, and its all coinciding with the the 'Occupying' movement. Those that Throw burning Molotav cocktails at the 'evil' retailers and bankers typically have Jew-hatred in their soul and this is just an extension of it.
By the way, the last time there was a string of vandalism on Jewish-owned establishments on the east coast was a couple weeks ago.... and the 'Nazi' that was caught ended up being a Puerto Rican. He was also spray painting swaztikas everywhere as well.

NJ Man Arrested in Window-Smashing Spree at Jewish Shops

Police say they've arrested a New Brunswick, N.J, man in connection with a series of Jewish business vandalisms Wednesday.
Richard M. Green, 52, was arrested on George Street in New Brunswick Wednesday afternoon on five counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief.
Police had been investigating windows smashed at businesses along Raritan Avenue in Highland Park Wednesday as a bias crime, and will determine whether to upgrade the charges against Green after their investigation is complete.
There was no graffiti or offensive slogans or symbols, but police said all the stores targeted were Jewish businesses, including three kosher restaurants, two Judaica shops and a Jewish-owned hardware store.
Police are now investigating to see if Green is behind several other acts of criminal mischief from the past several days.
The Anti-Defamation League released a statement Wednesday condemning the crimes.
"We are appalled by the targeting of Jewish stores," said Lawrence Cooper, ADL New Jersey Regional Board Chair. "These shocking crimes target the entire Jewish community as these locations appear to have been selected because of their Jewishness."
The Middlesex County District Attorney's office said it is offering cash rewards to anyone who anonymously provides information that leads to an arrest. Calls may be placed to 800-939-9600, or information texted to 274637 with the keyword "midtip" followed by the message.

Very disturbing ! :o

Imagine how disturbing this would be if, instead of some lunatic, this were done, as it was in Germany, by the government itself... and government sanctioned... and government inspired?
NEVER AGAIN!

I dont care if this sicko is a Jew or not. He deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Hatred is not a mental illness.
