The article describes the troubling story of Matthew Mahrer and Christopher Brown, focusing on their plan to attack a synagogue in New York City. Mahrer, who had written about his grandfather's experiences in a Nazi internment camp, teamed up with Brown, who expressed violent intentions on social media. Their arrest with a Glock and ammunition shocked the local Jewish community, still reeling from a previous massacre at a synagogue. The narrative underscores the ironic and disturbing elements of their plot, emphasizing the intersection of antisemitism and identity in a horrifying context.
"Their arrest was a chilling story — an antisemitic sicko bent on mass murder — made more sensational by the revelation that his accomplice was Jewish."
"Had they decided to go around the corner and go into the synagogue, I and others could have been among those 19 casualties."
