A Jewish man walking in a Sacramento County park was attacked with a stun gun by a man who said he supported Palestine, county sheriff's officials said Thursday.

The attack is being investigated as a hate crime, said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. James Lewis.

What's the significance of the headgear these guys were wearing?

Red checkered is like the Jordanian Arab Legion. Black and white are Syrian or "Palestinian".

Both claim religious meaning. But only in one, you can hide knives, drugs, and head lice.

How long before it's handguns, homemade bombs, and worse? This is America. We cannot and will not tolerate this crap in this country.

Doesn't seem to be happening much in Texas. Maybe the perps knew that the victim was disarmed by the state.

And that's the truth! Any nutcase Islamo running around in Smithville with a stun gun and a d@mned dishtowel on his head will receive his due ration...perf-o-RATION, son!

Interestingly I haven't heard of any attacks on muslims by people who are pro Israeli.

"You know I got on an elevator with two Jews the other day and I was so scared..." just kidding.. old Billy Crystal bit came to mind.

(of course, he was probably turned in by his fellow Jews, so that's not a good example to prove how mean Jews are)

Olsen did a great job defending himself. Two attackers with a weapon and he won - but why did this paper use such an innocuous-sounding headline?!?!

The headline should be -

Jewish man attacked by Palestinian-sympathizing terrorists

[Icthus]

"..was wearing a red-checkered headdress similar to those worn by Palestinians.."

What's the significance of the headgear these guys were wearing?

It's a table cloth from Pizza Hut!

I tried to add my own headline in parentheses, but the software rejected my title as too long.

Hell, I work across the street from the Diamond District, and frequent the kosher eateries all the time.

I don't know what's more frightening, the men in black coats/hats that can conceal lord-knows-what kind of weaponry, or the women in their full length skirts and blouses buttoned to their Adam's apples.

or the women in their full length skirts and blouses buttoned to their Adam's apples.

I find that look kinda sexy myself. The "mystery" is the best part!

Being that Diamond Merchants (and politicians) are the great exception to NYC's disgusting concealed carry laws, maybe I should move into that profession. With a name like mine, however, I don't see that happening in the near future.

On weekends, I see young orthodox couples, clearly on a "date", strolling in Central Park.

The women often look like ripe, forbidden fruit begging to be unpeeled. The men usually look like utter twerps.

The contrast is constant, and striking.
