Ohio Man Arrested for Plotting Synagogue Attack: Law Enforcement


An Ohio man who said he admired the gunman who killed 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October has been arrested and charged with planning an attack on another Jewish house of worship, federal authorities said on Monday.

The suspect, Damon Joseph, 21, of Holland, Ohio, also was charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to Islamic State after voicing support for the militant group.

Joseph told the undercover officer that he admired the gunman who shouted "All Jews must die" while attacking the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27.

Jeff Fortunato, the FBI's acting special agent in charge in Cleveland, said in a statement that Joseph "progressed from radicalized, virtual jihadist to attack planner."

...when pressed, could not actually define why he personally is anti-semitic.

He's a drone who just believed some crap and even though he has been harmed in no way, ever, by anyone Jewish, or perhaps anyone else for that matter, he just bought the conspiracy junk hook, line and sinker.

Idiot.
