LAKEWOOD (VINnews) — Two Lakewood men were the target of an anti-semitic attack while minding their own business and walking to Shul on Shabbos.

Video footage shows men driving a snow plow on a Lakewood street, while two Jewish men are walking ahead of them on the street. As the drivers pass by the men, they intentionally lower the plow, causing the men to be accosted with a storm of snow and ice.
The men then laugh diabolically and drive away.
The men in the vehicle were allegedly Donny Klarmann and Brandon Ebbs. The footage was originally uploaded to Facebook by Klarmann himself. Klarmann’s facebook page identifies him as an employee of Waste Management, which would be the reason for him driving a snow plow. Ebbs’ employment status is unknown.
UPDATE: Waste Management has released a statement condemning the behavior, and also revealed that the driver has been suspended from his job.
The full statement reads as follows:
“We are aware of an incident that was posted by an off-duty WM employee to his personal social media account. The hateful conduct depicted in this video is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of inclusion and diversity we hold as a company.”
“The employee is suspended while we investigate the incident, but we can confirm this behavior will not be tolerated from any WM employee and we will not employ those who act in this way.”
For all those saying it’s not necessarily anti semitic. Please note the post of the video says “this one’s for you jc” (jes chri) now say again he’s not an anti semite
White trash lowlife POS!
This dunce will lose his job plus other legal problems.
He has been suspended from his job and they are investigating and will probably fire him.
He made it clear on Facebook that he was doing this for Yoshka. Not sure how anyone can say this isn’t antisemitic
Truly pathetic and frightening. Pathetic because would he be a true believer and patriot and DECENT human being, he would qualify as an ally in our common desire and struggle for peace, liberty, and individual rights as equal and freedom-loving Americans. Frightening because in spite of all the above possibility – the bottom line is that it is NOT so, and in the end, we are truly in a dangerous and bitter golus. Hashem Yeracheim!
B”H for videos. Things like that used to happen all the time and they would get away with it because there were no witnesses. Now the perpetrator are stupid enough to post videos and get themselves in trouble.
huge problem with this kind of ignorance – anyone in Lakewood/Jackson/Toms River area can confirm that they yell “A Jew!” and honk when you walk on holidays?
Donny Klarmann lives at 734 Cambridge Road in Lanoka Harbor. He was arrested in 2014 for intent to distribute drugs and spent time in jail.
The whole Klarmann clan must be very proud of the boy.
And everyone keeps touting how Laikvood is ir hakodesh, and it’s perfectly safe..yadda yadda yadda.
You litterally cannot tell that they are Jewish it looks like 2 people walking I’m not saying the plow driver was right but it is BY FAR not a hate crime.
Y’all love to jump on the Antisemitism bandwagon every chance you can. Don’t be shoiytas, There is no evidence that he did due to anti semitism. It was snowing so heavy it’s be almost impossible to tell if they are Jews. He saw some random people walking in the snow and thought it be funny to spray them with snow.
He is a jerk but no evidence he is Antisemite
Again, this is very odd. Just recently we were told that antisemitism comes from minority communities.
they are less anti Semitic than Democratic congresswomen and SCHUMER girls Omar and Tlaib
What can we do? We are in galos! We need Moshiach already, he’s way overdue! My dear brothers in Lakewood, please try not to make the old neighbors mad. Of course you gotta to do what you gotta do, build houses and live peacefully, but try to be nice to your neighbors, respect them, and let’s hope this will minimize antisemitic attacks.
ha ha ha, they’re just shmucks not anti semites.
Is it possible for someone to target Jews and it not be anti semitic
This may well have been anti semitic but just some food for thought
Very not nice. Im not sure if this constitutes a hate crime though.
“this one’s for you jc” doesn’t mean anything, yes hes making fun of jews, but we jews make fun of gentiles all the time, and if this constitutes a hate crime the we jews are as guilty as anyone else. loosen up
Before I begin, I would like to make it clear that I think that this incident is really really terrible and shameful.
and if the victims would have been black, he would have been labeled racist.
If the victims would have been hispanic, he would have been labeled a white supremacist.
but… if they would have been 2 other pieces of white trash… this would never have made headlines.
bottom line- some people find humor in others’ misfortune/practical jokes. Those types of ppl are sick excuses for human beings, but not necessarily are they anti-semitic.
