Snowplow driver fired after posting video of himself spraying Jewish people with snow in New Jersey
A snowplow driver has been fired after he posted a video of himself spraying Jewish people with snow in New Jersey.
The video, shot from inside of the snowplow, shows the driver approaching two visibly Jewish people on his left. He then sprays the Jewish people before breaking into laughter.
Danny Klarmann, an employee of New Jersey Waste Management, posted the now-removed video to his Facebook profile alongside the caption: “This one’s for you JC.”
An investigation is being carried out by Lakewood police and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s office.
Waste Management released a statement in which they said: The hateful conduct depicted in the video is unacceptable and does not reflect the values of inclusion and diversity we hold as a company.”
Lakewood Mayor Raymond Coles also called the stunt “incredibly stupid and dangerous”, adding: “The plow could easily have thrown chunks of ice or rock and seriously injured or killed either of the victims. I am glad to know our police department is investigating all aspects of this incident.”
