In reply to the discussion: Anti-Semitic attackers yelling 'we will kill you' storm synagogue in London [View all]Scootaloo

You're entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts. You've maintained at various times he was hiding behind other people, yet he was up front. Also, he is wearing a kippa. Which matters, because you apparently didn't read what I excerpted.
I did in fact read that, which is why I made the note of it. It's a pretty big factor in the forming of my stated opinions actually. As i'm saying, I saw a guy who seemed to have ducked into a synagogue for shelter, then turned into Action Hero Badass.
Just to prove you wrong, I just went back, watched it in larger version... You're right. I was thinking it was his hair, the back end of a short roach cut.
So i re-started the video to see if there might be anything else. And yes; there are other things going on there that I'd missed the first few times around. Most glaringly, another shitstain in a black coat assaulting the door. How the fuck did I miss that dude? Like seriously, he was nowhere on the radar.
So yeah. I'm going to tip my hat. What I described was what the video looked like. However, after discussion and re-watch at better detail, what it looks like has changed quite a bit. Your weird making shit up and trying to put it in my mouth was certainly unneeded and baseless, but yes, I got this wrong, and apologize for that.

Really? You think the *only* reason anyone would ever attack Jews is because of Israel?

Can I suggest changing the Title word "attackers" to "Attack" - so it will fit Twitter?
