1700+ hate texts sent to Jewish student

Albuquerque, NM - Hate speech doesn't begin to describe it, an Albuquerque teenager is accused of sending hundreds of antisemitic text messages to a fellow student who is Jewish. Most of them reading “kill Jews, heil Hitler”.

 

The victim's mother says the teen has been bullying her son for a few years now, and it finally came to a head last weekend when her son's phone was flooded with text messages.

 

“I felt like I was living in 1939 in Nazi Germany,” said the mother, who asked not to be identified.

 

She was shocked when her 14-year-old son showed her his cell phone full of hateful messages.

 

“All together there were almost 18 hundred text messages that came to him over a period of weeks,” said the freshman’s mother.

 

The messages refer to the teen as a “Jew fag”.

 

He sent “kill Jews, heil Hitler” nearly 500 times back to back.
