Beverly man charged with making online threats against Jewish people, firearms violations
Briefly

Matthew Scouras faces multiple charges for allegedly inciting violence against Jewish people online, including possession of firearms and threats to destroy places of worship.
Investigators highlighted a particular post where Scouras allegedly advocated for violence, stating, 'If everyone just started shooting Jews at their synagogues all this can stop overnight,' emphasizing his incendiary and dangerous rhetoric.
Beverly police reported that Scouras appeared to incite others to harm Jewish communities through his remarks on 4Chan, clearly posing a potential threat to public safety.
While being questioned about his posts, Scouras defended his actions by claiming they were 'personal beliefs' and not an imminent threat, drawing an inappropriate comparison to rap lyrics.
