News Round Up – Thurs. 6/30/11

A Brooklyn Chasid poured beer on a neighbor, shoved her, called her an “Arab terrorist” and punched her husband who rushed to her defense. The attacker tried to hide in a chabad house, but the rebbe wasn’t up to any miracles that day. The attacker was charged with a felony hate crime.

Shaul Spitzer pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from his setting fellow New Square resident Aron Rottenberg on fire. Spitzer’s lawyer claims he “did not intend to harm anyone”. He just wanted to gently place a little sweet fire on his fellow Jew’s body, no harm intended.

Brooklyn Chasidim Elie Berger and Hershy Greenberger of Perfect Collision Body Shop are accused of banging up customer’s cars to increase the damage – and their profits. Charges include insurance fraud and grand larceny, and will probably grow – police raiding Berger’s home found more than $700k in cash. Berger, of course, files for public assistance. The courtroom was filled with fellow Chasidic supporters – after all, lying, cheating and stealing are all good in the eyes of god, it’s that goddamn anti-Semitic justice system that He has a problem with.
