    Ruben Ubiles, 35, was charged Thursday afternoon with burglary as a hate crime, arson as a hate crime and criminal mischief as a hate crime, police said.

    He confessed to the charges when questioned about a lengthy Facebook post he’d written to profess his innocence on Wednesday before he was taken into custody, according to sources.

    “WHEN JEWS BURN WOOD AND GARBAGE ON EBERY CORNER, ITS OK TO POLLUTE THE SURROUNDINGS,” Ubiles had written in the rambling post, which mostly contained denials that he had committed the crime.

    But when police pressed him about that line in the post, Ubiles admitted to burning the mezuzahs in retaliation for what he saw as a disruption in the neighborhood, sources said.

    The post has since been deleted, along with his Facebook profile.

    Ubiles was also hit Thursday with non hate-crime charges of reckless endangerment, arson and criminal mischief.

    In the last few years the Chumetz Burning has been set to be under control and the Hatzoloh members keeping it from going out of control.

    So this guy has nothing to complain about. Just as Chazal say: Halacha Yedua. Eisov Soney le’Yakov.

    I really hope they recorded his confession and did everything by the book. If not he’ll be free in no time.

    I’ve been saying for YEARS that the public chometz burning and the Shabbos sirens are blatant violations of the Rambam’s exhortation in Hilchos Daeos TO MAINTAIN A LOW PROFILE IN GALUS. This guy is just the “tip of the iceberg” of how many of our neighbors feel about these things.

    He’s not creative- he’s nuts.
    A lowlife with nothing to lose

    That headline gave me the best laugh for today!
    As to the person that claims that we are not in golus, but in the u.s.a, I’d like to remind him what the german Jews said about that wonderful paradise known as deutschland.
    You want to live in America, fine – but don’t dare say that any country outside of Israel is anything but golus.
