| [IsraelTimes] Edduin Zelayagrunfeld says he fired warning shot at the ground after Zhoie Perez refused to stop filming outside Etz Jacob Congregation. Police enjugged You have the right to remain silent... a security guard on suspicion of shooting a self-described First Amendment activist after the two engaged in a videotaped confrontation outside a Los Angeles synagogue and school. Edduin Zelayagrunfeld, 44, was arrested Thursday for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon, police said. It was unclear if he has an attorney. The video shot with a smartphone by Zhoie Perez shows the guard telling bystanders he did not shoot her and instead fired a "warning shot" at the ground when she refused to stop filming outside the Etz Jacob Congregation/Ohel Chana High School. Perez is heard swearing and grimacing in pain after a gunshot. A paramedic who examines her leg tells her the bullet did not create an entry wound. She later told news hounds that she suffered a "deep graze" to her leg. Perez posted the video, nearly 40 minutes long, on her YouTube Channel Furry Potato Live, where she offers videos that push the bounds of her First Amendment rights by sometimes engaging coppers in generally polite but pointed confrontations. She told news hounds she was just capturing the synagogue’s interesting appearance Thursday when she encountered the guard. "The guard came out and just started freaking out, started putting his hand on his gun," she said. Zelayagrunfeld, who is seen on the video in uniform drawing his gun and pointing it toward the ground, remained behind the synagogue’s security gates during the confrontation. Perez was on the street outside the gates. He tells a bystander on the video that he thought Perez was trying to break in and warned her repeatedly to leave. "I shot at the floor," Zelayagrunfeld continues as the bystander tells him to put the gun away, adding he’s still being filmed. The synagogue is located in the city’s heavily Jewish Fairfax District. The community has been on edge since a man shouted religious epithets and tried to run down two men outside another synagogue last November. Mohammed Mohammed, 32, has pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to assault with a deadly weapon and hate crime charges in that incident. After police arrived Thursday, Perez put her phone down and continued to record. She told officers at one point she is transgender and did not want to be handcuffed. When a police officer asks her if she wants to be searched by a man or woman, she responds, "I don’t need your attitude, lady, I just got shot."
As The Daily Beast reported last month, it’s become a highly competitive online industry, with auditors becoming more and more aggressive in their encounters because an arrest or a physical confrontation will boost their views and fame.
A security guard at a Jewish high school for girls in Los Angeles shot a man in the leg after he "became belligerent," and the school went on lockdown. Students are not in any danger, according to the school. At around 1 p.m. Thursday, a man was "canvassing" around Ohel Chana High School, according to an email sent to parents. The school security guard confronted him and shot him in the leg after he "became belligerent," the school wrote to parents. The man was not critically injured, and no students were hurt or put at risk. The school was put on lockdown until police give notice that all is well. Students have been given extra time to relax before class. Ohel Chana, affiliated with Chabad, serves 99 students in grades 9-12, according to the Private School review website. | ||

| #5 So... A lunatic looking for a fight found one? Not defending the poor gun handling, but a sane society would have put the nut job away long before this. And the "trangendered and don't want to be handcuffed" bit -- what does one have to do with the other? |

| #4 make you my bitch To dominate an opponent in competition. To utterly embarass another by your sheer dominance... therefore making them your bitch. |

| #1 Perez is heard swearing and grimacing in pain after a gunshot. A paramedic who examines her leg tells her the bullet did not create an entry wound. She later told news hounds that she suffered a "deep graze" to her leg. So the bitch was casing the synagogue for potential Jihadi attack, and invented a wound. And the security guard is the one arrested - California. |
