Suspect Arrested, Drenched in Blood, in Hanukkah Machete Attack

The suspect in a machete attack Saturday night in which five Jews were wounded at a Hanukkah party in Monsey, New York, has been identified as Grafton Thomas, 38.

He was arrested in Harlem by New York Police Department (NYPD) officers and “was found with blood all over his clothing and a strong smell of bleach in the car, like he was trying to destroy evidence,” according to Rockland County Assistant District Attorney Michael Dugandzic.

The attack occurred at a rabbi’s house in the religious community — the latest attack on Orthodox Jews near New York City. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has come under increasing criticism for the attacks, especially after several suspects in recent violent antisemitic attacks were released as courts have rushed to comply with the state’s new “bail reform” legislation, which is supported by the de Blasio administration, and which takes full effect Jan 1.

Isn't it interesting that when a non white person targets and ethnic group like a Jewish Synagogue, its domestic terrorism, but if a white person commits this same crime, it would be called a hate crime!!!

Is it just me, or do you see a double standard in the news?

This guy was black, targeting a white Jewish Synagogue, so this should classify has a federal hate crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Federal 'hate crime' charges are pending, 1:16.

But you do have a point.

Blasio needs to be impeached now and removed as a presidential candidate. He clearly doesn't have a clue had to run NY let alone this country.

If a white man did this you would all be saying “false flag”

One common thread seems to appear in almost all these recent attacks, whether with guns, knives/machetes or whatever..

Mental illness. Have you noticed that?

So maybe if the left wants to get worked up and demand something be done, perhaps a focus on treatment or more facilities where these people can be safely housed would be far more effective than what they have been demanding thus far.

I would guess the Dallas church shooter will also turn out to be someone with a long history of MENTAL ILLNESS, but so far I'm hearing quite a bit about 'gun control' as usual.

And he was using a shot gun. Does that mean they will have to be 'banned' like AR-type weapons?

No, I don't think so because that would be a stupid thing to say. You really should work on your racist hatred.
