A little case of self-hatred

A guy claiming to be Jewish turns out to be behind the vandalism in Brooklyn Heights back in September:
"On Monday, the police arrested a man who they said had a trove of weapons inside a stately apartment building in the neighborhood. The man, Ivaylo Ivanov, admitted under videotaped questioning that he was behind the spree, which had mystified investigators for months, the police said.
And later Monday evening, after Mr. Ivanov’s arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court, his lawyer surprised reporters with his own announcement: Mr. Ivanov is himself Jewish."
According to a police official, Mr. Ivanov said his acts of vandalism were a result of “bad judgment” and “rage.”

Upon hearing that Mr. Ivanov was said to be Jewish, Aaron L. Raskin, the rabbi of Congregation B’Nai Avraham, one of the desecrated synagogues, was skeptical. “If he is Jewish, then he really needs to see a rabbi,” Rabbi Raskin said.

Rico says the guy turned himself in after shooting himself in the hand; not a clever criminal, Jewish or not...
