The words he allegedly screamed at them are not that newsworthy, sounds like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard. This event calls for a hard-news hed, not melodrama.

How about reworking the hed, to provide more information in our identity-politics day, so the Jews don't fear White Supremacists/Trump supporters or Midwest Christians were behind these attacks?

And, when people start contemplating Jewish-Black relations in America today, especially in urban areas where inequity is winning and pushing out the black natives, maybe they will re-consider the problems with handing every black man in America a stack of cash for "reparations".
