(Scroll down for video) Nearly 100 Jewish headstones in one Connecticut cemetery were found smashed last month, according to police reports.

Three teenagers were arrested over the weekend for the alleged destruction of 90 to 95 headstones in a Jewish cemetery in Connecticut, causing about $20,000 in damages.

Hartford Police began investigating the case in mid-October, and only recently received a notice that three teenagers who live in the neighborhood were responsible for the crime.

My question exactly.

Also, where is the outrage from the Jewish community. It’s a little harder to care about this if they don’t care about it. Or is their outrage just not being reported?

I agree with the other comments - 2 or 16 is not statistically important. Both are just about equally not the unlikely source of these vandals.

It was considered a hate crime until they discovered that the perps were members of a group that is considered by the DOJ as incapable of hate.

Good points and there is a #5 and that would be the judge.

We have local JP’s in our part of Texas, all of whom are very Conservative Republicans. Their various dockets are filled to the brim with cases involving teenagers and, lately, a lot of pre-teens. They pride themselves on handing down and enforcing some very creative consequences. Seriously doubt if they have the same caliber of judges in Connecticut.

Most likely, given the ethnic makeup of this area, these were ‘Amish’ boys that would look just Obama’s sons.

Of course, they nor their families will pay for the damage, as they are ‘judgement-proof’. They are probably welfare scum and thus cannot pay.

In a perfect world, this money should be deducted from their family’s welfare check until their share of the damage was paid. That would be a good lesson they would not soon forget.

There is something you can do to put a problem in the lives of the judgement proof. Even if you know that you will never get paid, here is a way to get revenge on these vermin. I did this once.

Get the highest quote for damage you can find.
Go to small claims court for an instant judgement (they won’t even bother to show up).
Give them the money! That is, give them the debt as earnings and file a W-2 for them. The IRS and welfare office will cut their benefits and they will be in trouble for not reporting income.

Make the grifters pay!

Did I really say that? Not only is it ridiculously convoluted but doesn't even make sense! Oh well, good thing I am amongst friends. :-)
