(Jewish Group) Would-Be Jew Killer Guilty of Firearm Violation, Church Threats
When Donald Trump said there are “very fine people on both sides” of the Charlottesville white supremacist rally, one wonders if the president had in mind someone like Nicholas Wesley Rose.
The 28-year-old’s parents contacted the Orange Police Department in April 2018 to report their son’s anti-Semitic rhetoric was of concern, especially when Rose talked of intending to “get a gun and kill some Jews.”
A search of Rose’s Irvine apartment produced anti-Jewish literature and a journal full of white supremacist and anti-Jewish writings by the resident, including a list of steps titled “Killing My First Jew” and a “Kill List” that included Jewish community members, including well-known people in the entertainment industry.
Of course, journaling can be a way to expunge one’s brain of bad thoughts, but most troubling was the police search also uncovered note cards referencing a synagogue and Greek Orthodox church in Irvine and a Russian Orthodox Church in Lake Forest. Officials at the Orthodox churches had apparently spoken sympathetically of Jewish people.
The notes indicate Rose conducted extensive internet searches of all three houses of worship as well as visited them in December 2017 and April 2018.
