Anti-Semitic Threats Stopped by Armed Samaritan in Florida

A family from New Jersey learned the value of a legally armed population while vacationing in Florida. New Jersey is one of a handful of states where it is nearly impossible to obtain a permit to carry a gun for self-defense.  From foxnews.com:

Eric Orgen said he, his wife, and his daughter, 16, had just left a synagogue in Bal Harbour and were walking on the sidewalk when a group of men driving by started shouting and throwing garbage at them.

“They just started screaming some derogatory things towards Jewish people out the window,” Orgen told WPEC-TV of West Palm Beach. “My first thought was just making sure my wife and daughter were behind me so I could take the brunt of anything that was going to happen.”

Orgen told the station the men said things like, “Free Palestine!,” “Die Jew!” “F– you Jew,” and “I’m gonna rape your wife.”

The family was helped by a driver who witnessed the attack and decided to intervene, Orgen said. Armed with a gun, the stranger defended the family and chased the group away.

“The guy in the car behind them saw everything go on,” Orgen told WPEC-TV. “I saw him pull a gun and get in between – I mean he was almost there as our guardian angel, just protecting us. I think once they saw him they just took off.”

The event is reported to have happened on 18 May, 2021, at 7 p.m. on Collins Avenue near Harbour Way in Bal Harbour, FL. The sun would not set until 7:44. It was partly cloudy, about 80 degrees F, with a strong breeze from the West at 17 mph.  Visibility was good. The windows on the SUV were open.

Validates them being outside, and able to see who was in the SUV.

I hope he has a much better “understanding” of cordiality now.

The gangsta reported me to the front desk and is considering revoking my membership.

As it turns out, he “conveniently” forgot to mention he verbally & physically threatened me.

They do have outside video cameras and, if so, they should support my statements.

This 15-35 generation is absolute losers....and a clear & present danger to the survival of America.

Sadly, most attacks occur in areas with disarmed populations. Hopefully, my brethren will rethink their hoplophobia.

PS. I didn’t realize that any Samaritans has immigrated to the US from Holon, Israel , or Arab-occupied Shechem (Nablus).
