East Lansing Michigan – Mason Jar Sports

DM – Religion does not seem to have been a factor in the vicious assault on a Jewish college student, police said.

East Lansing police Captain Jeff Murphy said there was no dispute that Zach Tennen, 19, was seriously assaulted in the early hours of Sunday and suffered a broken jaw.

However the police chief said witnesses have not confirmed Tennen’s account that he attacked after being asked if he was Jewish at a party close to Michigan State University campus. Detectives also have no evidence that Tennen’s mouth was stapled during the attack as he claimed.

Earlier this week, Zach Tennen said he was set upon by two men who asked if he was Jewish.

The attackers, who claimed to be Ku Klux Klan, then raised their arms in a Nazi salute, saying ‘Heil Hitler‘ and began hitting the teenager.

Zach said that while he was passed out, the attackers managed to staple through his gums.

He said: ‘It was coming up in my two bottom teeth and it started in my gum, so, somehow they managed to staple it.’

Okay I’m not discounting this story at all, like man… I am sorry you got your jaw busted and while you were knocked out someone from “the KKK stapled your mouth shut”.. but don’t tell me this kid doesn’t look like a kid that would say people discriminated and beat him because he was a Jew. C’mon bro its not 1942 your in east Lansing… Yeah Michigan sucks but its not east Germany. If you’re running your mouth at a college party things happen.
