Mancini, Homeland Security Unit, who informed me that he has already spoken to someone at the JCC and after further investigation it was learned that the posters were not a threat of any type against the jewish community. We believe this all stems from an elderly jewish man who lives on the eastside who has a problem with the fact that there is a change in the way kosher food is classified by a commercial food company. He is upset that the jewish community is allowing this to happen. Again, this is not a threat against the jewish community. Please forward this to anyone else you know who is concerned about this incident. We, the police, will be speaking with this elderly man. However, he has not broken any laws.</span></font></p><div><font face="Arial" color="navy" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></span></font> </div></div></blockquote></blockquote><br></div><br></div></body></html>
