A man from Dearborn, Michigan, named Hassan Chokr, who threatened Jewish children and their parents in the parking lot of a synagogue in 2022, was sentenced to almost three years in prison this week on federal gun charges.
One has to wonder what kind of person is comfortable threatening small children in such a setting.
CBS News reports:
Dearborn man accused of threatening kids, parents at synagogue sentenced for gun crimeA Dearborn man accused of making antisemitic threats outside of an Oakland County synagogue has been sentenced for illegally possessing firearms, federal officials said.Hassan Chokr, 38, was sentenced Wednesday to 34 months in prison. Chokr pleaded guilty in May to being a felon in possession of a firearm after possessing multiple firearms inside a gun store.On the morning of Dec. 2, 2022, Chokr is accused of making racist and antisemitic threats to parents, children and security personnel at a parking lot at Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills.After he was asked to leave the property, federal prosecutors say Chokr went to a gun store in Dearborn and attempted to buy three firearms. While at the store, investigators say Chokr held all three guns and “at times pointed it and pulled the trigger.”Federal authorities say Chokr is a convicted felon and is accused of lying about his eligibility to possess firearms. While waiting for the results of a background check, prosecutors allege Chokr said he would “even the score” and use the guns for “God’s wrath.” The store denied Chokr’s firearms purchase following the background check.
Mr. Chokr obviously has some rage issues.
The New York Post has more:
While awaiting the results of a background check during the firearms purchase, Chokr stated “It ain’t a fair fight out here” and that he was “going to even the score” and “even the playing field real soon brothers, real soon,” according to court documents.The gun store owner also overheard Chokr say that he intended to use the weapons for “God’s wrath.”The federal background check detected the felonies, and he was denied the purchase…Prosecutors previously said Chokr had “posted videos and statements on Instagram where he talks about buying guns.”One of the posts said “‘Your Jew tactics will only backfire on you, you have no place on this earth, Jew [expletive], Jew mother [expletives]. A storm is coming to wipe you all out of our lives,’” according to prosecutors.
Do the college students protesting Israel realize that this is the ideology they’re aligned with?
