Man arrested after video shows him defacing Menorah in Beverly Hills

A Texas man was arrested Sunday night after being caught on video throwing objects at a large Menorah in Beverly Hills and allegedly carving Nazi symbols on it.

The incident was reported around 8 p.m. Sunday, the first night of Hanukkah, on private property in the area of Sunset Boulevard and Foothill Road, the Beverly Hills Police Department said in a news release.

Surveillance video posted by Street People of Beverly Hills shows a man wearing a sweater, cap and backpack throwing items from a bag at the installment. More footage shows the Nazi symbols etched on the base of the Menorah, and a light that had been at the foot of it shattered nearby.

He was booked on suspicion of felony vandalism and a hate crime. He is being held on $20,000 bail, arrest records show.

The investigation is ongoing more charges could be possible, police said.

It's time we start holding them accountable for their dangerous rhetoric. Q Anon and the GOP are the same thing now, and this is an entirely predictable result of their words.

why anyone is compelled by that hatred to act in such a way.

I just don't get it.

Make him really look at each and every exhibit.
Especially the one with all the tiny little shoes of children sent to their deaths.

And then stand outside at the exit watching people collapsing in grief and tears after viewing the exhibits.
