Man Pleads Guilty to Hate Crime, Faces 18 Years in Jail
BROOKLYN [CHI] — Thursday, a man pled guilty to charges he spray painted swastikas and spread fliers stating “Kill Jews” around Brooklyn Heights, and for possessing a cache of weapons in his apartment. He is facing 18 years in prison.
The man, Ivaylo Ivanov is a 39 year old dog walker. He pled guilty for possessing the cache of weapons after he shot himself in the hand. The cache consisted of homemade explosives, a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition.
He pled guilty to weapons possession and criminal mischief as a hate crime. He faces 18 years in prison at sentencing on February 25, 2010.
Alex Ginsburg of the New York Post writes:
Ivaylo Ivanov, 39, who is Jewish, said when he was busted two years ago that he spray-painted the hateful symbols in order to increase the police presence in the neighborhood.
But his lawyer said yesterday Ivanov was actually trying to stir sympathy for Jews.
Whatever the goal, Ivanov left a rash of swastikas and leaflets reading, “Kill all the Jews” in the area.

Yet another hoax “hate crime”. That really is my first assumption when it comes to this sort of high-profile low-damage incident. When the apparent target is Moslems, that is my first assumption, since I’m not aware of a single such incident that has proved genuine. When the target is blacks, it’s a fairly good assumption too, even though once in a while there is a genuine incident. It used to be that when the target was Jews one could assume it was genuine, since there really is a lot of antisemitism out there; but increasingly that’s no longer true, as Jews have learned to hoax too.
