Jews in the D
Arrest Made in
Michigan Vandalism
NJ teen uses Neo-Nazi social network
to order synagogue’
s defacing.
N
ew Jersey teen
Richard Tobin
is accused of
using a neo-Nazi social
network called the Base
to find volunteers for
the September graffiti
attacks on synagogues in
Michigan and Wisconsin,
the Philadelphia Inquirer
reported.
Tobin also allegedly said
he planned the attacks
as part of nationwide
campaign he called
“Operation Kristallnacht,”
a reference to the 1938
pogrom against Jewish
homes, synagogues and
Jewish-owned businesses
in Germany and Austria.
Tobin also confessed to
driving to a New Jersey
mall with a machete that
he planned to use to kill
black shoppers.
A complaint filed Nov.
12 by the FBI charges
Tobin with conspiring
with a hate group against
the rights of minorities,
including Jews, NJ.com
reported.
The group calls itself a
“white protection league”
and advocates for a
country populated only by
white people. Its members
practice “doomsday
prepping,” or preparing
for the end of the world,
and participate in military
training. The group’
s
symbol references a failed
1923 German coup led by
Adolf Hitler, according to
the FBI.
The court filings have
not named the people
who attacked the two
synagogues.
Tobin appeared in
federal court in Camden,
N.J., on Nov. 15. U.S.
Magistrate Judge Karen M.
Williams ordered Tobin
held pending a mental
health evaluation and
scheduled a detention
hearing for next month.
