New Jersey man charged with burning home, vandalism in antisemitic crime spree

A New Jersey man accused of burning a house down and spray-painting Nazi symbols on more than a dozen homes this week in what authorities described as "acts of bigotry and hate" was arrested and charged with 36 criminal counts.

Ron Carr, 34, of Manchester Township, was charged with first- and third-degree bias intimidation, second-degree aggravated arson, third-degree arson, and fourth-degree criminal mischief, Attorney General Matthew Platkin and Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer announced Friday.

The charges stem from damage done to more than a dozen homes late Tuesday evening and into the early morning Wednesday.

“This crime spree and the antisemitism that it expressed caused pain, destruction, shock and fear among the residents of Manchester Township,” Platkin said. “No community in the State of New Jersey should feel vulnerable or anxious in the face of acts of intolerance. No resident should feel their personal safety or their home is threatened by bigotry, persecution and violence."

That drug gives you permission to act irrational.


I hope he spends the rest of his life behind bars.
