Police: Florida Man Was Plotting To ‘Burn’ Jewish Neighbors

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Police say a Florida man who was facing eviction was planning to set his building on fire and “burn” Jews.

Miami Beach police said Friday that 72-year-old Walter Edward Stolper is charged with attempted murder after detectives found 28 containers with gasoline and explosive materials inside his storage unit.

News outlets report that police acted on a tip Thursday night and found Stolper in the parking garage of his condominium complex moving two plastic containers of gasoline.

Police say they also found gasoline-filled containers in the garbage chute dumpster and discovered artifacts with swastikas and books of Nazi ideology inside his residence.

In a tweet, police said Stolper was “triggered” by an upcoming eviction and was angry with his Jewish neighbors.

An arrest report says Stolper told detectives he was planning a “small barbecue.”

    No doubt one of Trump’s “very fine people”, justified in his actions because immigrants are “changing the culture”.

    Europe, if you’re listening, let this be a lesson to you. If you don’t stop immigration (legal or otherwise), it may force Nazis to commit heinous crimes.

  4. Lots of people are saying this guy is a very fine person and his eviction was a just a witch hunt. Trump will pardon him and make him ambassador to israel.

  5. Looks like a dumberer Merle Haggard. (No offense meant to Merle.)
