Chicago man did ‘Nazi march,’ threatened to burn rabbi in gas oven, prosecutors say

A Chicago man who claimed to be a Nazi threatened to burn a rabbi in a gas oven and yelled “Heil Hitler” while doing a “Nazi march” outside a Jewish high school on Sunday, prosecutors allege.

Jay Bollyn, 69, appeared in bond court on Tuesday to face two counts of felony hate crimes and two misdemeanors. Judge Susana Ortiz ordered him to pay a $10,000 bail deposit to go home on electronic monitoring.

The incident began shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday outside Bais Yaakov High School of Chicago, 5800 North Kimball, where parent-teacher conferences were occurring.

Bollyn, who was near a fence outside the school, asked a witness if they were Jewish and made anti-Semitic comments, Assistant State’s Attorney Rhianna Biernat said. School staff members saw the interaction escalate into a verbal altercation, so they notified a rabbi about what they saw.

The rabbi, who also serves as head of security for other private Jewish schools, stepped outside to intervene.

Already a conventional criminal type, and nabbed right away.
Nevertheless this sort of thing scares me. It's bubbling just under the surface.

Have I mentioned yet I'm Jewish (non-practising)? BTW, here's his mug shot.



I must say he looks the part.

1. "I bet this feller takin' m'pitcher is a Jewwww!"

Jesus Christ, what an oggly sumbitch.

Hope they throw his ugly ass under the jail…

4. They deny the holocaust but know all about the ovens.

Why do the all tend to look like that.

[Atticus]

5. But---but--- we must "reach out" to this poor misguided soul and "dialogue" with him!

Surely, if we simply EXPLAIN the destructive nature of his evil words and actions he will sincerely apologize and renounce violence and fascism! He didn't actually hurt anyone, so---------

Mebby not.

6. Just gross. Gross behavior, gross person. How awful for the Rabbi and the witness.
