The teenager, who is unnamed in court documents because he is a minor, is charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. He’s accused of posting a “detailed plan to complete a mass shooting” at Temple Israel in Canton, a city south of Akron, on the live streaming platform Discord.

The charges come amid a rise of antisemitism in the United States and worldwide. In the U.S. alone, antisemitic incidents rose 35% from 2021 to 2022.

According to documents released by the Stark County Sherriff’s Office Thursday, an FBI agent alerted the department to the Discord posts on Sept. 7. The plans were initially posted on Sept. 1, and contained maps of the synagogue allegedly drawn by the boy and another individual in Washington state. They also included plans to burn down and “shoot up” the building.

When confronted by law enforcement, the boy admitted to being a part of multiple antisemitic and political groups on the platform, according to the documents. He was then arrested, and a trial hearing is set for Dec. 20.

Horrible how this hate seeps into these kids.

[-] PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee 49 points 9 months ago

It doesn't seep in, it's cultivated by far-right groups that intentionally target children and openly groom them for extremism.

The whole fucking world needs to rewatch American History X like once every 4 years or so.

I'm glad I watched that movie in 7th grade because it fucked me up a little, but like, righteously.

And Higher Learning.

The indoctrination scenes really drive the point home: find a vulnerable somebody and preach the hate over and over>

"You have to be carefully taught to hate before you are 6, or 7, or 8, to hate all the people your relatives hate you have to be carefully taught"

It's Marxists and Socialists and their anti-West allies pushing the recent Jew hate on social media.

It’s also the fact that everyone can see what Israel is doing, and are conflating that with Jews worldwide instead of people focusing on Israelis.

[-] bustrpoindextr@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Even you're conflating what the Israeli government is doing with all Israelis

Israelis want Netanyahu and company gone: https://www.npr.org/2023/11/09/1211724903/amid-plummeting-approval-ratings-he-s-blamed-those-around-him

Some do, but even a lot of them still say it is a time for unity and to get him out after the war.

I have complete and total respect for every “Not in my name” Jew or Israeli.

I have complete disdain and loathing for the ones who want to wait and do it after the war.

Convenient how that will be too late to change anything, but they can still pay themselves on the back like anything they do at that point matters.

The ones making videos of them just pouring out water and taunting the Palestinians, can burn in the hell they don’t believe in.

I honestly hope they find themselves in said situations, maybe then they will have a little empathy.

Glad this boy has been charged. I have noticed more young people doing this.

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

I fail to undsrstand why a child is being charged when the parents raising the child are clearly not doing a good job.

Why are parents not being charged instead?

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Because parenting isn't as influential as many people seem to assume. At least when you believe scientists.

[-] S_204@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

I hated Torah study when I was a kid too but never quite enough to shoot up the synagogue.

This kid and his parents need help. You don't get this far down the hate hole without some major help at home.
