Jewish Couple Attacked With Baseball Bat and Dog in Santa Monica by Man Screaming ‘Genocider’
“Preliminary information indicates the suspect … was driving on Broadway when he stopped in traffic and began yelling threats at two people crossing the street.”
A Jewish couple in Santa Monica, California, was attacked by a man with a dog and a baseball bat who shouted ‘genocide’ at them. Witnesses said the area has a significant homeless population, including many individuals who appear to be mentally unstable. But that does not explain the antisemitic nature of the incident.
Hatred of Israel and by extension, Jews, is everywhere right now. We see it on college campuses, on social media, and on America’s streets.
KTLA News reports:
Jewish couple in Santa Monica attacked by man who shouted ‘genocide’
A chaotic and violent scene unfolded at a busy Santa Monica intersection on Sunday when a man shouting obscenities first chased a couple, then attacked them with his dog.
The suspect, identified as Tar Nay, faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon and making criminal threats.
The incident happened around 5:20 p.m. at Broadway and the Third Street Promenade pedestrian mall. Video shared on social media shows the suspect first driving slowly through the intersection while brandishing a baseball bat and yelling at the couple.
“Preliminary information indicates the suspect … was driving on Broadway when he stopped in traffic and began yelling threats at two people crossing the street,” the Santa Monica Police Department said.
Moments later, he gets out of the car and chases them while shouting “genocide” and “genocidal,” the video shows. The couple believes they were targeted because they are Jewish.
After the initial confrontation, the suspect returned to his car, then came back with his dog, a male Cane Corso, which bit the male victim on the thigh, police said. He then got back into the car with his dog and drove away.
The victim was treated at the scene for a minor wound.
Police say the suspect was yelling at several people in the area and, at this point, they cannot say for certain whether the incident qualifies as a hate crime. They did not share how or where Nay was arrested. The dog, they said, was taken to a local animal shelter.
Here’s a video report from CBS News in Los Angeles:

This is a problem that was allowed to fester on college campuses, and now it has spilled over into the real world.

nawww its not a hate crime
its the normal reactions and normal ways that the obamfjb conquests have now instilled as natural to america
“he is homeless”
always an excuse as he drives away in his car
lefty looks for reasons to not imprison the poc
how the gop isnt dominating the american elections is more proof that the welfare loving blmplo agenda is nad has taken over ….F.E.A.R
Most Jews vote Democrat. By a considerable margin.
when asked why he also attacked the jews the dog responded
they run the spca’s of the world
First concern is for those attacked, second for the dog, and NONE for the lunatic.
You know they will put that dog down, it’s his owners fault
That’s a very aggressive bred, breed to be serious protection and needs serious handlers
I feel for the animal
Italian Mastiff (Cane Corso) are definitely loyal and protective but they ain’t any more aggressive than an English Mastiff or American Mastiff. While all originate from the Roman Molosser they ain’t naturally aggressive. Usually they are big cuddle bears. I’ve owned all three and they are big babies, good natured, gentle giants, sticking to their owner like velcro. They will interpose themselves between stranger/danger and their humans or if used as livestock guardians (which they were bred to be) between their herd/flock and threats. Any dog can be trained to be aggressive. It isn’t the breed but the owner that’s the issue.
I know, you have the Gandhi of Cane Corso’s. Some breeds have a predilection for violence because they are bred for it. Cane Corso’s can go off the rails very easily much like pit bulls for example. A strong owner can mitigate it but sometimes they just do what they do and a 4 legged buzz saw is coming at you.
thinking of my own parents (no longer with us) walking down the street minding their own business and some fool like this comes along–lord
and no one lifted a finger / stepped out of their own comfort zone to help this couple after seeing this fool chasing them with a baseball bat and a dog
unbelievable–cannot wrap my mind around two of our innocent countrymen accosted by this fool and yet our countrymen are on their own, surrounded by others and having to fend for themselves–sickening indeed
Nobody could help. It’s California. You can’t carry a weapon to put down the dog or the man.
So are we already at the “The Motive May Never Be Known (TM)” stage?
Yup that “globalizing the intifada” is really making the world a better place.
It’s s pity he wasn’t shot on sight. Then again it is CA.
I am curious about the perp’s ethnic/religious background.
Muslims are supposed to avoid dogs like the plague.
I’m speaking outside of this attack — Islamofascists’/Muslim terrorists’ desire to harm and kill Jews is far stronger than their dislike of dogs.
Black muslim maybe.
Not sure all muslims hate dogs. Somalis do for sure.

Some years back I told the Prof to buy a gun, things were getting ugly.
We could probably use a billionaire that will fun making gun laws illegal so honest people don’t have to flee because the politicians don’t want you armed.
Fund not fun.
POM OC spray is about 12 bucks and weighs ounces.
With the exception of the really high ones, it’s an attack ender.
Even that has legal hurdles in some states.
If you do not care to carry a firearm for your protection a can of wasp killer works pretty darn well. Shoots foam 20 ft or so and will disable any attacker.
Marxists want to get started with their revolution sooner ot later.
