(Jewish Group) Three men identified who sprayed NJ synagogue worshippers with water guns

Police in Teaneck, New Jersey, have identified three of four people who allegedly sprayed dark liquid on Jews near a synagogue.

The three suspects, who are said to have used water guns to squirt the liquid on July 12 outside the Young Israel synagogue after Friday evening prayers, are all adults, Deputy Mayor Elie Katz was quoted as saying in a report Wednesday by WABC-TV.

Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

Katz wrote on Facebook that the suspects were in a silver Honda Accord, taking videos and shooting water guns at people walking out of the prayer service. They made two rounds and at least one of them shouted anti-Semitic obscenities when passersby shouted for the driver to stop.

How soon before it isn't liquid? Will people care in earnest?
