One of the original incidents these two teens committed

Sun-Sentinel

West Boca, FL — Two young men accused of committing hate crimes faced their victims and representatives of the Jewish community during an unusual meeting Tuesday organized by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office.

Connor Ranieri, 19, and Jordan Gentile, 18, apologized for defacing cars, a mall bathroom and a Judaica store in May, saying they did not know their actions would so deeply offend the Jewish community, according to people at the session.

Ranieri and Gentile attended the meeting, part of which was closed to the media, as part of their guilty pleas.
