Synagogue Hate Crimes
(Eugene, OR) -- A Eugene man has pleaded guilty to three federal hate crimes for intentionally defacing a Eugene synagogue multiple times. 34-year-old Adam Braun spray painted Temple Beth Israel in Eugene with graffiti that included antisemitic symbols and phrases. He had a hammer and was apparently planning to break windows, before realizing he was being recorded on video. Braun will be sentenced in February.
