The suspect in the vandalism of a New York synagogue was a Democratic activist and former City Hall staffer who worked on anti-hate crime issues, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
His name is James Polite.
The New York Times profiled Polite, noting that he was an LGBT foster youth who “could defy the statistics” after becoming the “adopted child of the Quinn administration,” as Christine Quinn, then the speaker of the New York city council, put it. “And it wasn’t just me. It was the entire City Council staff.”
At 3:46 a.m. on Nov. 1, Polite posted a cell-phone picture of a burning American flag, with the caption “Sometimes things take a lil heat to grow.” Police suspect him of setting fires at “seven shuls and yeshivas in Williamsburg” that same night, before the temple vandalism. Security footage captured that, too.
HIS MOST RECENT HATE CRIME
Broad City” star Ilana Glazer canceled her event in a Prospect Heights synagogue Thursday after a vandal covered the hallways with anti-Semitic messages such as “Die Jew rats, we are here,” according to police.
The messages were in the hallways and stairwells.
“Hitler” and “Jews better be ready,” were also written in black marker, said police, who are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

He was caught.
Cops committed James Polite, 26 of Bedford-Stuyvesant to the psychiatric ward at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn for observation. He is charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime and making graffiti, cops said.
The suspect was busted in the same clothes he wore in surveillance video of his vandalism at the historic Union Temple in Prospect Heights. Polite is also suspected of setting a series of small trash fires in and around synagogues in Williamsburg, police sources said.
Barack Obama must be held responsible. He supported Iran and gave them billions with which to commit terror against Israel. He allowed them to get the bomb and lied to get the Iran deal.
Obama is also hostile to religion and made comments about Christians clinging to their Bibles and guns.
The former president also interfered in Israeli elections, which is against the law by the way.
If Trump is responsible for the mad killer in Pittsburgh, Obama must be held accountable too.
