KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A rabbi wearing a yarmulke and a man wearing swastikas got into a fight at Kansas City International Airport Sunday evening.

According to a police report, Rabbi David Fine, 36, of Overland Park, was in the KCI terminal when he commented to Steven T. Boswell, 30, of Olathe, about a large swastika logo on his shirt and his swastika necklace.

Fine told Boswell that he should be ashamed of himself, and Boswell responded by calling the rabbi inhuman, the police report stated.

The rabbi allegedly threw a cup of coffee in Boswell's face and punched him. Boswell told police he then repeatedly punched Fine in the head.

Both men were handcuffed and charged with disorderly conduct. They refused medical attention.

The responding officer said Fine had some small bumps on his head and Boswell had coffee stains on his clothing.

Both men are scheduled to appear in court on June 22.

Is "he needed an ass kicking" a valid defense??

Surely we can find an e-mail address for the rabbi, and/or his temple..so we can offer our encouragement?

I think I remember this joke. Not sure where the priest is, but I think the punchline is something about the same price as in town.

Jury nullification!

Are there any hefty rabbis with black belts? All the rabbis I know are kinda wimpy-looking.

Depending on location, such an incident may be labeled a hate crime perpetrated by the Rabbi. Hopefully, that isn't the case in Kansas City.

Well, it was in southweatern Missouri, so it might be. If it was Texas, there would have been only one arrest.

Fine told Boswell that he should be ashamed of himself,

Dear Rabbi Fine: Next time, don't waste so much time talking. How many times do you think G-d is gonna give you an opportunity to take a shot at a swastika-wearing nazi?

Oh, and next time... hit him more than once.

The rabbi is in the wrong. Think about this next time you are wearing your Ronald Reagan or NRA shirt...
