crazy

Howard Stern finally lost it Its his doppleganger.

Reminds me of

Does I take it more of a crime because the matches were ment for a menorah? Why even mention that?

So mentioning the matches is like blaming the matches..just report a guy broke in and started a fire. Why say it was matches for a menorah? That's crazy reporting.

Trump's America

I'm Jewish and so is that guy.

This is what happens in the time of POTUS realDonaldTrump IvankaTrump

That’s horrible!

Did he escape from 1974?

Looks like Horshack

That is horrible!

Horschak’s lawyer was not available for comment.

Wow.. someone committed a Crime? No way!!! I hope you guys find a way to make this a hate crime in your shit article..

Wasn’t he let go for good behavior and re arrested 4 hours latter for breaking into a house 2020preview

Come on, Horshack! Be better.

Fair is fair. A false hate crime is not less than the genuine article.

Watch they paint the picture that he has mental issues!

Looks sane

I have no idea how the Jewish Celebration works but how do you set dorms on fire three times and claim you're celebrating/lighting Hanukkah menorah? Maybe it's not an hate crime but there's more crime to it than arson.

Anthony Wiener!? 🤯

What a batshit person to do such a thing.

Crazy

Anthony Cumia has really gone off the deep end. TheCumiaShow

What in gods name is this world coming too

Strange because he looks so normal

EVIL.

What decade is this from? He looks like something out of the 70s.

Another Omar and Sander's fan

Wow. He looks stable.

I thought it was Arnold Horshack.

Not a hate crime. He was trying to keep them warm.

I thought horshack died

'Fire department officials said there was no indication the episode was a hate crime'........ No, of course not, it was done with the best of intentions. As if!

This is crazy David Luiz

Free room and board now

FDNY Who breaks inside a university dormitory and set 3 separate fires while everybody is asleep w/ no hateful intent? Keep normalizing hate crimes Mr. Nigro.

Why don’t you put “New York man” in the headline like you would “Florida man”? We see you media.

Horshack?

EllenYChang What in the hell is Howard Stern thinking?!

Make sure he lives on the streets. That will teach him some lessons.

The Trump supporters will be mostly locked up by the next election. Thank god.

He looks demented like some of the mass shooters that LE and school administration etc allowed to continue un thwarted. What is his background?

Get him in a straight jacket

Arnold Horshack lives.

He looks just like trump, must have been his son that he had with his New York housekeeper

Will he be the first charged with 45’s newest law?

A Trump supporter.

This hate needs to stop

He looks Jewish

And the anti Semites in the democrat party stood up and cheered. Especially the Islamists IlhanMN and RashidaTlaib

Why would Howard Stern do that?

The fact that man was allowed to walk around with that hair cut is worrying to start with.

He will be hired for GOP committee

A man broke into a Yeshiva University dormitory and set three fires, New York City official saysA 33-year-old man broke into a Yeshiva University dorm in New York City early Friday morning and used matches intended for a Chanukah menorah to set three fires in the building while students were sleeping, an official said. Umm, I mean, I'm all for thorough journalism, but what does the previous purpose of the matches have to do with anything? 'man uses car he bought to get back and forth to work to run over estranged wife' I’m surprised, he looks normal lol At least he didn’t kill Jesus right?
