Florida man arrested after trying to burn down condo to 'kill all the f------ Jews'

Source: The Hill

A 72-year-old Florida man was arrested Friday after he vowed to burn down his condo to kill “all the f----ing Jews.”

Walter Stolper was in the midst of being evicted from his Miami Beach condo this week when a resident complained about smelling gas in the building, CBS 4 Miami reported on Friday.

When law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, they found Stolper trying to bring two gasoline tanks inside the building, the outlet reported.

Police said they also found Nazi reading material and a swastika inside Stolper’s home.

Those who rail against the "PC police" now can be shown actual proof of why words matter, because they infect society and spread like germs, having just as real an effect on human beings as the plague.

“This again is a very, very, very dangerous individual. Our detectives also seized two firearms,” Rodriguez said.

Stolper has been charged with one count of attempted arson.

Hell of a way to blow your retirement, Florida Man.......

Just curious what it has to do with this thread, since it seems quite clear he is not Palestinian but rather a U.S. resident with Nazi tendencies.

If he were, would that some how mitigate the attempted arson? If so, say so, if not, then why the odd question? As someone said above, there is no short supply of anti-Semites.

Trump "emboldened" the Nazis

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are marching to "take back America".

" Michael Von Kotch, a Pennsylvania resident who called himself a Nazi, said the rally made him "proud to be white."

He said that he's long held white supremacist views and that Trump's election has "emboldened" him and the members of his own Nazi group. "
