The NYPD is on the hunt for a man who grabbed an Orthodox Jew’s yarmulka in Manhattan, made an anti-Semitic remark, and then threw the yarmulka when asked by the victim to return it.
“Just absolutely infuriating. Get the message: if you commit an act of antisemitism in our city you will face the consequences,”�De Blasio tweeted. “If you have any information on this disgusting act, contact the NYPD immediately.”
According to NYPD statistics, anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City have soared this year, up a stunning 48% since 2020.

Consequences?
Like a get out of jail free card?
While the act was despicable the same can be said for DeBlasio. He personally defamed Jews and caused a massive amount of anti Jew rage.
