In the wake of 11 new threats today against Jewish centers, from New York to New Mexico, the FBI said it is investigating, along with the Department of Justice, bomb threats to the centers across the country.

Federal authorities are looking into threats communicated to at least 60 Jewish centers around the country this year. The threats started in January and the FBI began investigating later that same month. The threats have come in "different waves," with more threats phoned in to centers today, according to one source familiar with the matter.

The FBI said it is "investigating possible civil rights violations in connection with threats to Jewish Community Centers."

"The FBI will collect all available facts and evidence, and will ensure this matter is investigated in a fair, thorough, and impartial manner," the FBI said in a statement. "As this is matter is ongoing, we are not able to comment further at this time."

I remember partying in a graveyard as a teenager but we never did anything like that. Even took the empty beer cans when we left.

Somehow, this sort of thing rolls right off of the Breitbart President because he has "a Jewish son-in- law" and claims he therefore could not possibly be complicit in this appalling surge in hatred.

So now we need security cameras in cemeteries? I hope they catch these monsters and make an example of them.

Sadly, it will take decades for this country to recover from what this cretin has unleashed.
