Raw eggs, 'Scripture-backed fitness' and a Porsche: The online world of the man accused of burning Mississippi's largest [View all]
Stephen Spencer Pittman, the 19-year-old suspected of setting fire to Mississippis largest synagogue, uses his social media accounts to post about baseball, his friends, his commitment to physical fitness and his devotion to Christianity.
That was until 12:52 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10, when he posted an antisemitic video on Instagram.
A Jew in my backyard, I cant believe my Jew crow didnt work, an animated Disney-Princess-esque character says to a short yellow figure with a long nose. Youre getting baptized right now.
About two hours later, Pittman is alleged to have driven to a synagogue, the Beth Israel Congregation in northeast Jackson, where federal authorities say he used an ax to break through one of the windows. Once inside, Pittman is alleged to have doused the lobby with gasoline and set it on fire with a torch.
