(Newser) – Police nabbed three adults, ages 18 to 21, and two juveniles accused of terrorizing a Jewish camp in Pennsylvania. The assailants allegedly tore through the camp in a pickup truck, "narrowly missing several campers and staff," while damaging fences, fields, and buildings, reports CNN. They also fired paintball guns at campers and staff and shouted anti-Semitic insults and threats.

The harassment took place over three occasions at Camp Bonim on July 14 and 15. "Luckily none of the children suffered any serious physical injury;" said the county's district attorney, but "the emotional damage done is immeasurable." The three adults were slapped with several felonies and misdemeanor charges including ethnic intimidation, terroristic threats, and reckless endangerment.

Romney Olympics?  Maybe it's just Mixed Doubles in the Men's 10m Air Pistol event.

Pretty crazy that they did this three times over two days. I hope that the local law enforcement took this seriously from the first incident.
