A group of men stormed a school bus and hurled antisemitic threats against a 12-year-old boy at Chicago's West Rogers Park in the 2800 block of Jerome Street.

Police said the bus had been dropping off elementary students from a nearby Orthodox Jewish school Wednesday about 5 p.m. when the men jumped on board and engaged in menacing behavior, although no one was injured, reported the Chicago Tribune.

“At one stop, four men jumped into the bus, hurled antisemitic slurs, and performed the ‘Heil Hitler’ salute at terrorized children,” said Alison Pure Slovin, a spokesperson from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, in a statement.

They ought to be able to catch them pretty easily.

In Colombia, some school buses have armed guards onboard. I hope we don’t come to this!

2. Illinois fucking Nazis

Jake and Elwood have a solution.

18. This is a line my husband and I quote quite a bit, I'm in a red county.

We crack up every time.

[Initech]

21. Yeah where are Jake and Elwood when you need them?

Nazi punks fuck off!

[TeamProg]

27. Thanks for posting. n/t

[IronLionZion]

36. I hate Illinois Nazis

[Hugh_Lebowski]

3. You sure this was, technically-speaking, illegal?

I don't know either way, I mean it should be, but ... has anyone ever thought to write up a law addressing this sort of situation?

Probably at least trespassing, but people are rarely jailed for that.

[turbinetree]

5. I was thinking of terrorist threats when I read the article

and I really don't know if there are any laws on the books for this.......

[Lonestarblue]

44. I think our domestic terrorism laws are fairly weak. The focus has been on terrorism by foreigners.

Time to add some laws and maybe something to deal with the armed self-appointed militias in this country. Most are domestic terrorists.

[EarlG]

9. I mean I don't know the law but

it's a $300 fine for just driving past a stopped school bus in Illinois.

My guess is that there are numerous ways someone could be charged for actually boarding a school bus and threatening the kids...

10. Isn't It At Least Trespassing

The school bus is private property. They were not invited guests.
At the very least, I’d think they’d be in violation of trespassing laws.
Laws about taking a threatening posture against a child probably exist, too. But, I don’t know that for sure.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

13. I did say that ;)

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Yeah, I Know

I was agreeing. At the very least, it has to be that.

[wnylib]

41. Yes, trespassing I'd think

Also, endangering the welfare of children. Depending on what they said, making terroristic threats might be applicable.

But personally, I'd have been delighted if one or more of the kids had been trained in kick boxing and had sent the fascist creeps into 2100.

55. This happened in Chicago. nt

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. Trespassing, disorderly conduct.

Unlawful restraint - if they held the bus up for a few seconds and or restricted the driver’s actions/movement in any way.

Sure, people are “rarely” jailed for trespassing. People rarely jump on a bus full of Jewish schoolchildren and make Nazi salutes. So there’s that. This might be a good time to make use of those laws.

[kcr]

35. Yes, it is. Especially a school bus n/t

[IronLionZion]

37. How about terrorism and hate crimes against children

[Hugh_Lebowski]

42. Well, it's not terrorism because it's not against the government

And if what they did was jump on board, shout Sieg Hiel a few times, and make Nazi salutes, and then get off the bus, with nobody physically harmed?

I'd say there's a decent chance that legally ... that's just trespassing.

I wish it were different, and certainly these assholes should be ID'd, shamed, shunned, and cancelled.

But not sure they're be prosecuted for anything worse than trespassing.

With it were different but that's my guess

[IronLionZion]

45. Terrorism can be against civilians, doesn't have to be government

[Hugh_Lebowski]

54. I know it doesn't have to physically be an act carried out against a government official

But the definition involves an attempt at changing government policy or makeup or whatnot ... through violence or threats thereof.

I'm just not sure these assholes actions ... meet that criteria.

I think it would be a tough slog for prosecutors to charge anything like terrorism, put it like that.

This is SUPER OFFENSIVE, HORRIBLE SHIT, to be very clear

But ultimately I think it will be concluded by prosecutors ... that all they can nail them on is trespassing.

47. Terroristic Threatening

Terroristic Threatening - The Legal Definition

Law Firm in Houston: HG.org

Terroristic threatening usually involves the communication and intent to engage in terrorizing another person through words or deeds which can lead to other actions such as an evacuation of a location, inconvenience and other complications. The specific purpose of these actions is to instill terror in the victims through the actions or words of the perpetrator.

4. Thank the Orange Fuhrer for this.

Unleashing the Fascist extremists on America.

These are good people expressing their 1st Amendment Rights of free speech and political expressions.

God Bless these patriotic Americans.

Fuck this Nazi bullshit.

[Paladin]

6. Oh yeah. This is the kind of shit I want to hear about, on Veterans Day.

Think of the hundreds of thousands of our nation's military personnel, who have suffered pain, suffering and death over the years. Then think of these antisemitic goons terrorizing children on a school bus. Whatever punishment they receive will be inadequate.

[Traildogbob]

24. My thought exactly

Honoring our veterans. This one would love a little time with those shit stains. Feel pretty damn sure most of my fellow vets would love the same.
Were Kanye and Kyrie financing and encouraging the attack?

[calimary]

48. Indeed. What a slap in the face to their sacrifice.

I hope and pray that there WILL be punishment. Hell may await them but I want to see earthly punishment for these goons NOW.

Threatening KIDS????? Despicable and Unconscionable!!!

[Emile]

7. Not shocking they did this the day before veterans day.

After all these years since the end of WW2 and we have Nazi's in the United States.

[kwolf68]

8. Just mind boggling

I can't rationalize how someone would fall down this (pro Nazi) path.

[SharonClark]

11. We have national and state hate crime laws for a reason.

This is a perfect example why.

14. West Rogers Park is a predominately Jewish neighborhood in Chicago.

In 1999, there was a series of shootings by a follower of Matthew Hale that terrorized West Rogers Park.


https://forward.com/culture/426735/white-supremacist-chicago-jews-ricky-byrdsong-benjamin-smith-1999/

Just before sunset on July 2, 1999, a Ford Crown Vic approached 15-year-old Ephraim Wolfe in Chicago’s West Rogers Park.

A bullet had just torn a dime-sized hole in Wolfe’s leg, a couple of inches below the knee. The friend with whom he’d been walking had run to a nearby house for help, and Wolfe was alone. He was bleeding badly, and his leg had swelled to twice its normal size, but his body was in shock, and he didn’t feel any pain. Perhaps one minute had passed since he’d dismissed two explosive pops from the window of a passing car as early July 4 fireworks, only to look down and see blood.

Wolfe watched the Crown Vic. It was driving the wrong way down the one-way street. He screamed for his friend, thinking that the gunman was back. And he said the Shema.

[Bluethroughu]

19. Hate crime...lock them up.

[chowder66]

20. Those poor kids. I hope they catch the assholes.

[Solly Mack]

22. I hope they get arrested. They were terrorizing children. Making threats.

Using hate speech.

This wasn't some exercise in free speech. This was an attack. Against children.

[Initech]

23. Only acceptable thing to do with Nazi dipshits:

[NNadir]

25. Although nothing about this thread should inspire a laugh, I can't...

...suppress one.

[Turbineguy]

26. These creeps should need

about $10,000 in dental work.

[Justice matters.]

28. hair furhair must be very pleased with his "very fine people" there.

Hair furhair's patriots.

[lpbk2713]

29. That is a serious crime.

It should be multiplied by the number of students on the bus at the time.

And of course they will say they're sorry. Sorry they got caught.

[3auld6phart]

30. I agee

Cameras. and if m caught. Maximum sentences allowed. That is way beyond
Horrndous. What tell hell is the matter with nazi wannabes %?

[tulipsandroses]

31. What a bunch of punks! Going after kids is so manly

Since their type tend to pride themselves on being the ultimate male. Didn’t know that attacking kids was a manly thing to do.

[Iggo]

32. When are the leaders of the white community going to address this?

[AllaN01Bear]

33. i am so tired of this nonsense .

[Grins]

34. On Veterans's Day.

They (all Republicans) assault a 12-year old Jewish boy.

That whirling sound you hear is Eisenhower. And FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Bush and Reagan.

Now ask Trump if he condemns this.

[lindysalsagal]

38. In Chicago? Wow!

Alabama or Tennessee, I'd not be surprised.
