    “I’m innocent of this arson,” he said over the video link during his court appearance.

    The fact that he narrowed it down to this arson is pretty funny to me. Does sound like less of a targeted attack and more of general rampage since he committed a number of crimes aside from this.

    Reading the article it sounds a lot less “attack on Rabbi” and a lot more like “mental health rampage”

    The man faces multiple charges including six counts of criminal damage by fire, six counts of shop theft, three counts of obtaining property by deception, two counts of attempted theft from motor vehicle, theft from a motor vehicle and burglary.
