The man who vandalized a synagogue in Indiana with swastika graffiti last year told federal agents that he was radicalized by far-right media like Breitbart and by meeting with the white supremacist group Identity Evropa, according to BuzzFeed.

The vandal, Nolan Brewer, 21, pleaded guilty last week to “conspiring to violate the civil rights” of the synagogue, Congregation Shaarey Tefilla. He was sentenced to a three year prison term.

So haters hate and people are radicalised by that hate.... I don't believe it! Say it isn't so.

Of course as always the right wing propagandists will take no responsibility for people acting on their hate speech.

1. Isn't it amazing that when you turn on the spigots of hate it sprays indiscriminately.

Oh the irony of Ben Aaron Shapiro, an observant Orthodox Jew, could inspire such hatred against Jews.

2. This is sad to read.

So young to be filled with hatred for people he does not know. Is it any wonder this type of hatred has increased with tRump in the WH? Why does the gop thrive on spreading hate around not just here, but the world? No one race or religion is "better" than another. People should be allowed to worship in peace, believe what their ancestors taught them without being reviled for it.

3. My message to Brewer: Enjoy prison asshole.

I have no sympathy for him or any other fuckstick Reich wing douche cannon who gets in trouble with the law.

4. Hmmm...

"In the months leading up to the attack, co-workers from Brewer's two jobs testified that Brewer openly identified with Nazism and white supremacy at work. He wore a swastika necklace and made racist and anti-Semitic remarks, witnesses said."

Um, just curious, where did he work? Because I have no intention of ever supporting a business that let's someone walk around on the clock with a Swastika necklace and doesn't immediately fire them.
