A 14-year-old boy is arrested on suspicion of a hate crime a week after a rabbi was allegedly punched near his San Diego synagogue.
A 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of a hate crime Friday, a week after a rabbi was allegedly punched near his San Diego synagogue, police said.
“I was shocked, stunned, and hurt, but was grateful that my father was unharmed,” he wrote on his synagogue website. “We don’t want to be dismissive and say it was just kids,” Tammy Gillies said. “We have to take hate and any hate incident very seriously.”“It doesn’t just impact the target, but its a message to the whole community that says, ‘We don’t want you here,” she said. “That is the double impact of the hate crime.”The rabbi said it took 42 minutes for police to arrive as he and his father hunkered down inside the synagogue after it happened.
The captain also said that “going forward, we will be having discussions and possibly training with officers to help them better understand and better respond to incidents like these.”
