"A man from Lake Worth Beach, Florida was arrested on Monday for allegedly taking an elderly Jewish man’s kippah, throwing it onto the ground and punching him twice.

The suspect was taken into custody for battery and committing a potential hate crime, (no "potential" about it) according to WPBF.

The Palm Beach County Sherriff's Office said that Daniel Scanlan, 34, attacked the man from behind at the Boca Raton Walmart, yanking off his kippah and shouting antisemitic abuse at him.

After that he spat on the kippah and threw it onto the ground. The assailant then allegedly hit the victim a second time. According to police, an older woman tried to help the victim, but Scanlan grabbed her phone from her, called her an offensive slur and then pushed her to the ground. She received a minor cut on her elbow. When she tried to retrieve her phone, the suspect threw it to the ground." [IsraeliNationalNews]

The address he was booked on is 8 miles from lake worth beach city limits. He’s a scumbag no matter but why the city designation?

You have to ask the last commission that was emphatic that changing our city name to Lake Worth Beach wouldn't have crimes reportedly attributed to us. It never worked and the majority of silly voters believed it and voted the name change in.

Don't know his address as booking blotter did not give it. The crime took place out of our city.

I hope the racist is happy I blogged about this horrible guy.

A sad senseless incident. Why would he do that?

Well, I'm glad he's 8 miles out of our town.

I personally never use Lake Worth Beach, and nobody seems to care.
