Ron Carr told police he used hate speech, including Nazi swastikas and lighting fires, in an attempt to prevent Jews from entering his neighborhood.

When he was asked why he spray-painted the homes with graffiti, Carr responded that he did it to “keep sneaky penguins out,” court documents said.

Asked to clarify, Carr laughed and said, “Jews,” Manchester Detective Patrick Cervenak wrote in an affidavit of probable cause to charge the defendant with the crimes.

He also gave police antisemitic slurs, after they arrested him in what was described as “without incident”.

All told, he pled guilty to a typical extremist right-wing domestic terror style attack (swastikas and fire) classified as “bias intimidation“.

Ocean County prosecutors said Ron Carr, 35, of Manchester Township was sentenced Friday on guilty pleas to arson, bias intimidation and criminal mischief.

The seven-year, five-year and 18-month terms imposed for the convictions are to run concurrently.

In a news release, prosecutors said township police were called to the Pine Lake Park area in June 2023 and found 14 homes vandalized with spray paint that included some “Nazi symbolism.”

Over a dozen homes targeted in a domestic terrorism attack? Significant. His seven year sentence however seems light (and that’s for arson, with five years for his bias crime being concurrent). Plus I am seeing almost no in-depth news coverage.

This development is just a small step after X Twitter, a leading publisher of racist disinformation and hate speech, refused to follow public safety laws in Brazil.

Earlier this year, Moraes opened a criminal inquiry into Elon Musk after X’s owner said he would defy a court order by lifting restrictions on designated accounts. Then the company seemed to reverse course and said it would block the accounts after all.

Once criminal investigation was on the table, Musk’s brand of loud and extreme anti-democratic political rhetoric faced real accountability. X Twitter management thus seems to be attempting to protect vulnerable disinformation troops involved in the Brazil operation, using a retreat probably because they know their CEO is so deep in the wrong.

You may remember in April that the X Twitter team in Brazil had tried to play dumb when it told the Supreme Court some “operational faults” were to be blamed, instead of admitting Elon Musk wants toxic users to remain active despite court orders that they be blocked. Simply put, Musk believes he is the law, maybe even above the law. He’s now on the run to avoid it.

Weeks are quickly passing by as Edmunds tries to get this big dumb vehicle to operate on a closed track without critical malfunctions.

In mid-July, we reported that the Tesla Cybertruck we had just purchased for our long-term test fleet suffered what the car called a “critical steering issue.” The article’s author even called it the Cybertruck’s “first snafu” because … we knew. Two weeks later, under similar circumstances, the Cybertruck failed again and displayed the same errors. And once again, we had to let it sit…

The public and the professional reviews all seem to be steering towards the same sad conclusion. Tesla released probably the worst vehicle design and engineering in history, immediately condemning all Cybertruck owners to massive waste, embarasassment and unnecessary debt.
