Police Have a Suspect

In an unusual turn of events, the SFPD announced they actually have a suspect in the attack on Elie Wiesel last week. What were the odds? They, however, won't say who it is, where they are, and how they uncovered the suspect. Nor will they say who helped them out or are helping them out. All they are saying is that it's a suspect in his 20's living somewhere in the East Coast. Whether or not it's the "Eric Hunt" who has been posting about stalking Wiesel, they are also not saying. Yes, it sounds kind of lame but considering they haven't arrested the guy yet, maybe it's a good thing they're not out there saying things like "oh, the suspect's real name is Joe Schlabotnik of 45 Cedar Drive of Poughkeepsie New York."

For Wiesel's part, he finally talked about the incident on Italian TV and said all of this shows a rise in anti-Semitism and that Holocaust deniers are on the rise. Wiesel also said that when the attack took place, he was more scared than he has been since the end of WWII and considering he was in Auschwitz, that's pretty scared.
