asked, "why are foreigners teaching USA law in the USA, anyway?"

That was my ONLY question.

According to the article, he shot out a car window. Apparently, his plan was to cause property damage at a safe distance.

“I wonder why is it illegal to fire an air rifle ?”

My cousins all had BB guns at 11ish. Dad said no and started teaching me about gun safety, etc. using his 410/22 over and under. Then he got a new 12 Gauge auto and gave me the over and under. He said: “Some people think BB guns are toys. Guns aren’t toys.” That was when I also learned about the wood plug he had to put in the 12 gauge so it would only hold 3 shells.
A 12 gauge auto with 7 shells, now THAT’S a weapon.

Plenty of rather large rats in the slums in Rio for him to shoot at.

I think your chart is probably referring to Christian denominations only.

Brookline, MA is heavily Jewish, here is an excerpt from Temple Sinai in Brookline: "...Jewish people comprise over 35% of the population of Brookline, with around 20,300 of their 58,732 citizens identifying as Jewish...

According to the story: "...After firing two shots, Gouvea was confronted by the synagogue’s private security, leading to a “brief physical struggle” before the suspect fled inside his home near the house of worship, according to a police report...

They make it sound like his house was right next to the synagogue somewhere...There was an article at Boston.com (a completely Leftist website) that stated: “From what we were initially told by police, the individual was unaware that he lived next to, and was shooting his BB gun next to, a synagogue or that it was a religious holiday..."

And one of his pellets hit the window of a car. Granted, he may have been shooting at a rat on the ground and it ricocheted off into a window. But I doubt it. I am sure he never took a gun handling course where he learned to be sure of what is behind your target.

I think this guy, his lawyer, and Boston.com are full of crap. He was unaware he lived next door to a synagogue? Really? And further unaware the parking lot was full? He did this on a Thursday night, not a typical day of worship I presume, but Yom Kippur. And he didn't wonder "Gee. I never see cars like that on a Thursday night right next door to my house. What could be going on there? I think I am going to hunt for some rats tonight."

Not buying any of his story. You can bet if he was a conservative, his protestations of innocence would not have resulted in dropped charges.

The charges being dropped were no doubt due to Harvard leadership exerting influence both in the Temple and in the Brookline Police Department to get the charges dropped. Without any proof, I will bet a lot of Jewish Harvard Staff live in Brookline.

Thanks. I figured Brookline was heavily Jewish. That data came from City Data and I was wondering about that. I looked at a bunch of sites before I found any data on religion there.

NJ is also famous for banning slingshots, which is a story in itself. Idiots at NJ legislature approved the law that made slung shots illegal in 1920s. Some clerk made a grammatical mistake and the lawmakers voted to ban “slingshots”. And so it goes to this day, get a slingshot in NJ, it’s a fine of $5000 or couple of years jail time. There is a group that fights to get rid of this ridiculous law, so far without success….

Heh, I am pretty familiar with that place...so I looked at your table and figured I was remembering it correctly...:)

That overall area Newton, Chestnut Hill, Brookline has a large Jewish population. There was a guy named Scott Hayes who was standing by a street with the Israeli flag and was attacked by a Leftist scumbag who began yelling at him from across the street, then ran at full tilt and tackled him. Scott Hayes ended up shooting him in the scuffle.

The whole thing was captured on video, with this unhinged Leftist screaming and tackling him, and...they ended up charging...Scott Hayes!

I was looking at a picture of him, and realized he was the same guy my wife and I saw standing outside a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Harvard Square in Cambridge with his military hat and Israeli flags in each hand. I chatted with him, shook his hand, and thanked him for standing out against those people.

Next time I saw him was a few months later after he had been arrested and his picture was in the newspaper.

Shameful that he was arrested. Shameful. But it is a state run by the execrable Marxist, Leftist, Lesbian gun-grabber Maura Healy, so that fits.

I ended up donating to Scott Hayes go-fund-me, and he did "kind of" get the charges dropped. Absolute scum running this state.

These were the "conditions" for dropping the case against him:

That enraged me. He should never have been arrested, and those "conditions" for defending himself are a urine stream in his face by the authorities.

Shameful.

OMG...they want the CONSERVATIVE guy to complete a civil discourse program online. There is no liberal, marxist, commie alive that will have any civil discourse or debate anything. All they know is endless screeching to shut down speech on the other side. That alone is shameful.
