[Story here](http://www.northjersey.com/news/Rutherford_temple_wants_to_combat_ignorance_after_attack.html) It started with anti-Semetic symbols painted on a friend’s synagogue in Maywood. Then again on one in Hackensack. Then a fire set at one in Paramus. Now the fucking douchbags have thrown fireballs into a synagogue and parsonage in Rutherford, putting the rabbi, his wife, five children, and the rabbi’s parents at risk. It’s escalated from vandalism to property damage to attempted murder. I hope these assholes are caught soon, before they succeed in murdering someone. ---

Dude, NJ sucks for a lot of reasons, but I’m guessing you’d lose the round in Family Feud if you guessed “constant fireball attacks” for one of the top reasons. Show me “Fireballs”!

Bergen county is in New Jersey, which is in the United States, which is on Earth. So yes, it’s known for this kind of stuff. Ok, not specifically there, but the synagogues tend not to be in the specific places where this kind of thing happens frequently. But there really aren’t any places that are exempt from being the specific location of the next event. ---
