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.
