2 suspects who allegedly planned to attack New York City synagogues arraigned

NEW YORK -- Two suspects who allegedly planned to attack New York City synagogues have been arraigned.

Police say 21-year-old Christopher Brown, of Long Island, was found with an 8-inch knife and high-capacity magazine when he was arrested Friday night in Penn Station.

Also arrested with him was 22-year-old Matthew Mahrer, of West 94th Street in Manhattan, whose family is reportedly Jewish, including his grandfather who is a Holocaust survivor.

Criminal complaints against both men cite Twitter messages that warned early last week, "Big moves being made on Friday," and then Thursday, "Gonna ask a priest if I should become a husband or shoot up a synagogue and die."

Brown's family told CBS2 exclusively that he is schizophrenic.

in them for life, from their 20s on...

No teevee's, no pool tables, no Internet, no smartphones, no books, no comics, no video games, just stare at the empty table in their cells for the next 70 years. Tell them it's more boring than hell.
