    Please get some more info. Who were the perps? Skinheads or maybe newly arrived “immigrants” who are bringing anti-semitism to America.

    Why are they not being charged with a hate crime ?
    If someone burns a Cross on a black families yard it is considered hate !!!
    The families of the juveniles should be held responsible.

      Because Arizona has no “hate crimes” statute as such. Crimes are treated the same way until sentencing, no matter what the motive was. However, at sentencing prosecutors do routinely use motive to argue for a harsher sentence, which is all a “hate crime” statute does anyway.

    Holy guacamole! My mother-in-law has her front door mezuzah on the inside of her door post instead of the outside because she’s afraid of being targeted by anti-Semites. I wonder if she has the right idea.
