“Acknowledged his support for Hamas”.
How long are Islamic terrorists going to continue hiding behind the protection of our laws while they advocate killing us?
A rabbi and his son, who together vandalized a controversial mural depicting a Star of David and a swastika in Milwaukee, were sentenced on Wednesday.
Court records show 74-year-old Peter Mehler pleaded no contest on Wednesday to misdemeanor criminal damage to property. He was fined $50.
Judge Jack Davila also ordered the father and son to pay $1,000 total in restitution to the property owner, Ihsan Atta.
Before sentencing the Mehlers, Davila said he understood the bigger context behind what happened: the Mehlers are Jewish, and Atta is a Palestinian American.
The judge warned that comments not related to the crime would not be tolerated in court Wednesday. Davila interrupted Atta, who acknowledged his support for Hamas and later walked out of court after being warned a second time, only to be brought back by deputies.
