NJ State Police Detective Mike Rosica said on Tuesday – that boredom & not hate, drove two teens to shoot Roosevelt Yeshiva (Me’on Hatorah) with paint-balls.
Michael Baniowski, 18, of Monroe and Brian Moore, 19, of Roosevelt each were charged with criminal mischief and harassment for going to the yeshiva’s dormitory building around midnight Nov. 20 and firing close to 70 paint-ball pellets at the side of the house, as well as throwing eggs.
The teens were not charged with hate crimes in the incident, because their motive was not anti-Semitism, but “boredom,” Rosica said. Criminal mischief and harassment are disorderly persons offenses that will be heard in Millstone Township’s Municipal Court on Monday.
“After conducting extensive interviews with the two involved parties, there was no evidence this was a racially or religiously motivated incident,” Rosica said.
My question is: If this was not hate related and just out of boredom, then why did they choose the Yeshiva and not City Hall, or the house next door? Or any other house in Roosevelt for that matter? – YW

The answer is we are in golus.
Yeah, I always go around shooting paintballs at yeshivas when I am bored. Everyone does it. Its fun!
I’m not saying they did it as a hate crime but something is really wrong with these twerps.
Anti-Semites can’t be bored?
The racists who lynched blacks in the South didn’t act out of boredom?
Boredom is not a valid explanation for their choice of target.
Well… they arn’t going to be bored doing all the community service that they prob. are going to get.
BTW – which Mark Levin are you?
