Synagogue hate crime suspect an educated, suburban accountant

[bathroommonkey76]

Stuart Wright has two tattoos.

On his left arm is the phrase “Jesus Is Love,” according to police. On his right shoulder, a swastika.

Wright, 31, was charged with a hate crime for allegedly smashing the window of a downtown synagogue and putting swastika stickers on its doors in early February. Three months earlier, he alarmed members when he visited a Pilsen church, one that was a target of racist vandalism six times in 2016.

Anti-Semitic incidents have been increasingly visible in recent months. Three Jewish cemeteries across the country were vandalized within one week in February, and several dozen Jewish community centers, including one in Hyde Park, have received bomb threats since the beginning of the year.

3. I know that synagogue

My husband used to go there every afternoon for several months to say kaddish for his mother after she died. He didn't like it there much (too conservative for him, and mostly older businessmen), but it was within walking distance of his work. It's a place where people who work downtown go for the most part, whence its name, the Loop Synagogue.

Amazing that a supposedly "educated" person resorts to such things.

4. Jesus is Love Tattoo?

These types of people have no idea what Jesus is or was. A Jew for starters.
