FBI Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office are responding to messages of antisemitism that were displayed on TIAA Bank Field at the end of the Georgia-Florida game.
FBI Jacksonville Special Agent in Charge Sherri E. Onks released the following statement, saying her agency will remain in contact with JSO:“The FBI never loses sight of the threat extremists pose to the Jewish community and to other religious, racial, and ethnic groups.
“There is no place for hate and racism in our communities, and no one should ever fear they could be targeted in an act of violence based on how they look, where they’re from, or any part of their identity. The FBI and our partners will not stand by and tolerate hate crimes that victimize our citizens.
“The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held such speech — even despicable speech — is protected by the First Amendment. If this office is presented with evidence indicating an intent to directly incite imminent criminal activity or specifically threaten violence against a person or group, then criminal prosecution may be implicated.“‘The type of hateful, antisemitic rhetoric we witnessed over the weekend is repulsive and has no place in any community.
