Man Who Menaced North Hollywood Synagogue with Machete Arrested

A man who was taking selfies while holding a machete and making menacing gestures in front of a North Hollywood Chabad synagogue on Friday was arrested later that night, according to local media reports.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Inmate Information Center indicates that 49-year-old David Brener was arrested late Friday evening, and released Saturday afternoon on a $10,000 bond.

Brener's apparent Facebook page indicates that he is originally from Odessa, Ukraine, and features numerous anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian posts.

This video posted in October appears to show Brener, and presents him as an independent candidate for the California 30th District congressional seat in 2020.

No dead Jews, so who cares?! kinda

I am glad he was arrested, but we have to face facts, no one, or rather, very few, give two shits about anti-Semitism. So, until the next Tree of Life or Hyper Cache, threaten Jews garners a big "so the fuck what!".
