I know Ann Arbor quite well. That happened right next to Fraternity Row.

I know Ann Arbor quite well. That happened right next to Fraternity Row.
The city itself has always been a haven for antisemities. Jewish families didn't dare let a Menorah show from the front window - that would invite vandalism in the middle of the night.
When I was in junior high, I knew a kid in the next neighborhood over who didn't "pass". His family didn't hide their Jewishness, and was harassed regularly. He finally agreed to a "fight". They got him down and beat him with a rock. He lost an eye. A 13-year-old kid, living in a middle class neighborhood in a city with one of the highest education rates in the country, was maimed for life because he didn't hide his heritage. The police did nothing because he agreed to "fight".
When I was in college there, Farrakhan was invited to speak on campus. Back then, you didn't argue whether people had the right to speak - you challenged their views. So someone on the Daily wrote an editorial condemning Farrakhan's views. That morning, following the distribution of the paper, gangs of students pushed people aside and took the entire stack of Dailys from their boxes in university buildings and destroyed them. The university administration was silent. The police were silent.
Less than a mile from where that student was assaulted, there's a synagogue in an upscale neighborhood. Every week for decades, there's a "protest" outside that synagogue. A group of antisemites screaming about whatever they think Israel is doing that week, as if being Jewish thousands of miles away is a crime.
City council, after decades of pressure, finally asked them to stop (of course, they didn't). The police have never cared. The students at this internationally-renowned institution, supposedly attuned to defending people from hate over skin color or heritage, couldn't care less.
In other words, Ann Arbor is a hotbed of antisemitism. It's like Boston on a tiny scale. They call themselves "The Harvard of the Midwest", and that could be where it comes from.
There is no doubt whatsoever that this police report is the beginning and the end of this story.
Dearborn was a cesspool long before any Islamic people moved the region. Think back to Mr. Protocols himself, revered in the area with countless statues and even a "museum".
People back home wonder why I root against the Lions, despite it being the only NFL franchise in operation during the entire Super Bowl era that has never even appeared in a Super Bowl. Well, think of the family that owns the team and even put that jerk's name on their stadium.

It comes from the Religion of "Peace". A la Dearborn.
