A New Jersey snow plow operator was fired on Saturday after a video showed him allegedly spraying two ultra-Orthodox men while they were on their way to Shabbat service. In a video recorded by his coworker and posted to Facebook, former Waste Management employee Donny Klarmann and his colleague can be heard laughing while the two religious men are pelted with snow and ice in the middle of a storm in Lakewood, New Jersey. The caption to the video on his Facebook page, which has since been removed, said This ones for you JC.

In addition to being fired from his job, Klarmann is also being sued by the two Jewish men for a hate crime. Lakewood police and the Ocean County Prosecutors office have also opened an investigation into the incident. In an official statement, Waste Management said that they are aware of an incident that was posted by an off-duty Waste Management employee to his personal social media account. The hateful conduct depicted in this video is unacceptable. Lakewood Mayor Raymond Coles also noted that the two men could have suffered serious injuries from the flying snow and ice. I was appalled and shaken when I saw this video. Not only was it cruel but it was also incredibly stupid and dangerous, Coles said in a statement. The plow could easily have thrown chunks of ice or rock and seriously injured or killed either of the victims. I am glad to know our police department is investigating all aspects of this incident.

Technically true and unimpeachable, but the corporate doublespeak is making my brain hurt. The company is liable, no bluff will change that.

The company knows that lawyers go where the money is, and is covering their corporate ass appropriately - likely under the advice of a lawyer.

Is the dude using a company vehicle when he did that? How would the fact that he was off duty when he posted the video help the company?

In this case it's white christians and jews. Although I believe the worst here doesn't hold a candle to the average in other regions.

I remember seeing this video the first time around and while its incredible stupid and dangerous I don't know that you could call this a hate crime, unless the guy knew they were Jewish and was targeting them specifically?

Like am I missing something here. Did the guy go out of his way to spray jews or was he just being an asshole to two figured walking in the snow

Unveiled bigotry and hate crimes are on the rise after the global shift towards the right in the second half of the 2010's. People who fell into the radical political divide during the 2016 American election think they can do whatever they want to whoever they want, as seen not only by this scumbag committing an antisemitic hate crime but by the gutter trash who pulled up on a black jogger and killed him in the street for no reason.

It could still be a friend, but I'm assuming, from it being deleted, that it meant Jesus Christ.

Somehow I dont think JC, who was Jewish himself and also didnt advocate hate crimes would want this done on his behalf.
