Forty-four-year-old Jarris Jay Silagi isn’t just your average idiotic, violent antisemite who decided to rob an elderly Jewish couple on their way to their Beverly Hills synagogue, he’s… well, yeah, he may be your average idiotic hater who did all that, but he’s special. After he took off his belt to whip the couple as he yelled, “Jew, give me your jewelry,” Silagi started running away when the bloodied 75-year-old man started fighting back, according to NBC News, as bullies do.
As he should have known would happen if he ever watched a Three Stooges episode, Silagi didn’t make it far because his pants, predictably, fell to his ankles, tripping him up and allowing his victim and police to detain him. (Oh, did I forget to mention that the synagogue the couple attends is located a couple of blocks away from the Beverly Hills Police Department headquarters and the attack happened practically within sight of the PD’s front door?)
Now facing a bevy of charges including assault with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery and elder abuse, and with prosecutors considering a hate crimes enhancement, Silagi is being held without bail. His victim went home to change his shirt and then returned for synagogue.
