    Police arrested James Samways on the misdemeanor charge early Sunday in Brooklyn’s Marine Park neighborhood.

    Police say the 40-year-old Samways, yelling obscenities, first trailed the men as they walked Saturday night.

    They say Samways then approached them with what appeared to be a silver handgun and yelled: “I want to see Arab blood in the streets. I am an Israeli. Go back to Mecca.”

    Police say the men called 911. At least three of the four men are of Asian-Pacific descent. No weapon was recovered.

    Samways was in custody and unavailable to comment. A phone number listed to his Brooklyn address wasn’t in service.‎

    Meanwhile the islamic pigs are calling for everyone elses blood and everyone is silent. Nowadays one is considered extreme just to want to survive in this self-destructive, suicidal world.

    If he is Israeli he should be deported back there so that the Shin Bet can keep an eye on him.

    Arabs in Bay Ridge threatened me multiple times when I told a Latino cop about it, he said it was just their right to express themselves, I guess its only in reverse a problem.
