Florida Jew opens fire, injures 2 visiting Israelis he thought were Palestinians

Brafman overtook their car in Miami Beach, made a U-turn, exited his vehicle and fired 17 shots at them. Local authorities said Brafman didn’t know the victims and there was no prior confrontation between the sides.

“It should be noted that, while in custody in our interview room, the defendant spontaneously stated that while he was driving his truck, he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both. The victims and the defendant do not know each other,”

A Jewish man in Florida shot two Israelis he thought were Palestinian. What is going on?

The 27-year-old Miami plumber reportedly fired 17 bullets with a semiautomatic handgun at two men in a car late Saturday night, believing, as he told police when he was caught, that he had "seen two Palestinians and shot and killed them."

Brafman, it turned out, was utterly wrong on all counts. The two men he targeted were not Palestinians. They were in fact Ari Rabi and Yaron Rabi, an Israeli father and son who had landed in Miami for a vacation only hours earlier. And he did not kill them. Both of the men were, luckily, only hit in the arm and shoulder and lightly injured.

In an additional absurd twist, his hapless victims seem to have been as misguided as he was. The Israelis who were attacked by a man believing they were Arabs actually believed that their attackers were Arabs. Ari Rabi apparently posted on social media – alongside photos and videos of their injuries and bullet-riddled car, and his father hyperventilating in panic – that they had been the victims of a "nationalist attack" and in a video, Rabi called it "antisemitic." He concluded his post with the words "Death to Arabs." Rabi's message was taken down after the perpetrator was arrested, but screenshots attributed to his original post remain online.

So... racist attacks fellow racists, who hate the same race he hates. Both racist attacker and the pair of attacked racists assume the other side was the hated race then both sides proudly proclaim their hatred of the other race, no members of which were involved at any point?

Cool?

I don't know why you say the ship may not be able to make its journey. It doesn't say that in the video you linked or in other articles I have seen about it. It is being towed.

I read this on Buzzfeed today and was laughing so hard. THIS is the essence of true Florida. I also absolutely believe that it happened.
I have seen stuff here!

"Back around 2006-ish, some friends and I went to a matinee movie in Jacksonville. We come out of the movie into the super bright afternoon Florida sun, and there is a guy yelling for help who is chasing an ostrich around the parking lot. We jump in and help him. He is trying to get this ostrich into the back of a van thing. We even got other people to help us. The cops show up for some reason.”

"I dunno, a bunch of people chasing an ostrich in a parking lot is unusual or something. The guy we were 'helping' is nowhere to be found all of a sudden. At some point, a guy in a cow costume joined us, by the way.

Eventually, the ostrich is captured by legit animal control and taken away. We find out the van was just another patron at the movies who had no clue about anything and had just left his van unlocked.

The cops questioned us a bit, but we were clueless and had no answers, so we all just left eventually.

Where did the ostrich come from? I do not know. Why was the guy trying to put it in someone's van? I do not know. Why does Tarzan not have a beard? I do not know."

Florida woman faces kidnapping, assault charges after holding family at gunpoint

Authorities say a father and his two daughters, both under age 13, were fishing off a bridge Aug. 4 when Litchfield allegedly “lured” them back to her home by telling them they could fish in her pond. However, once they arrived, investigators say she held the family at gunpoint, claiming she didn’t believe the girls were really the man’s daughters.

While the family insisted they were indeed related, Litchfield did not believe them, according to authorities. She allegedly searched their car while still holding them at gunpoint.

Investigators say the incident ended after Litchfield’s roommate helped guide the family to a fence while the suspect was distracted. The father and daughters then ran away.

Child sex trafficking has been the big nutter boogeyman for the last several years now, and it doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon.

Obviously kidnapping cartels just take their victims on fun fishing trips all the time so I don't fault her for being suspicious or anything but like, why not just call the police? She's 71 years old and she's gonna grab a gun and be The Hero and take this guy on all by herself? Or maybe I'm the dumb one, because I guess it DID work after all, until that meddling roommate interfered...

Weirdest thing to me though is that this happened on August 4th, according to the article, but she wasn't arrested until just this past Friday, two full weeks later. That's a long freaking time, and I find it hard to believe that the family took that long to report it considering that I guess their vehicle has just been at her house ever since they escaped.

Ah well, I'm sure that she's been busy the last week telling her Facebook friends all about the child trafficking ring she single-handedly busted up.

Only in Florida do you see her get stopped and given a simple warning.
