Texas man who set fire to an Austin synagogue is sentenced

[Guno צְבִי]

Sechriest, who was a member of the Texas State Guard and a student at Texas State University, had written racist and antisemitic journal entries before setting the fire, federal investigators said. Journal entries included “scout a target” on the day of the attack. Several days later, he wrote, “I set a synagogue on fire."

Security footage showed Sechriest's Jeep at the synagogue just before the blaze started, investigators said. He was seen carrying a 5-gallon container and toilet paper toward the sanctuary doors and running away from the fire.
Sechriest later acknowledged that he targeted the synagogue because of his hatred of Jews, investigators said.


“This hate-filled act of violence against a house of worship was an attempt to sow fear in the Jewish community and was intended to intimidate its congregants," Assistant Atty. Gen. Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in the news release.

We shouldn't be punishing people for being that sick.
Put the poor bastard down, humanely if possible, and be done with it.

Best for him. Best for us.

If he was a rabid dog, that's what we would do. Instead, he's a rabid human. He'll go to prison where he'll become even more radicalized.
