This was from the end of May, but only recently came to my attention. Gun-toting rabbi fends off masked attackers in violent Baltimore carjacking attempt | World Israel News
Rabbi Emanuel Goldfeiz, 62 — Rabbi of Beit Yaakov and Rabbinical administrator for Star-S kashrut — used his legally owned handgun to fend off two masked attackers during a violent attempted carjacking in North Baltimore.
Rabbi Goldfeiz was slightly injured but did not go to a hospital. The two attackers, punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground, and continue to beat him.
Until he drew his firearm.
That convinced them to leave, but the came back and tried to take his car.
“As the suspects tried to assault him again, the victim drew his firearm and pointed it at them,” said a Baltimore Police spokesperson. “The suspects then fled the scene on foot.”
While some people are calling this a hate crime, it looks more like a crime of opportunity to me. Carjacking is up this year in Baltimore.
No arrests have been made. (Hat tip to Jews Can Shoot.)
People ask me why I am strapped all the time, including IN MY OWN HOME. My answer is always the same, "We live in a stupid clown world, and the stupid can find you ANYWHERE!"
ReplyDeleteUnbeknownst to these folks, I am always strapped in their homes as well.
