Wilkes-Barre, PA - Nora Rynkeiwicz, the young woman accused of vandalizing a Wilkes-Barre synagogue by spray-painting anti-Semitic words and symbols in March, pleaded guilty today to charges including criminal mischief and ethnic intimidation.

Rynkeiwicz, of Factoryville, and a juvenile co-defendant, allegedly targeted the Ohav Zedek Synagogue at 242 S. Franklin St.,  and spray-painted another building with a swastika and “Hitler was right.”

Rynkiewicz, now 19, pleaded guilty to felony charges of ethnic intimidation and criminal mischief and a felony charge of institutional vandalism. She could face several years in prison if a judge sentences her consecutively.

“Should you plead guilty and should I accept your plea, it’s not a matter of if you go to jail,” said Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Peter Paul Olszewski, Jr. “It’s a matter of how long you’ll go to jail.”

“Yes, your honor,” Rynkiewicz replied calmly.

Luzerne County prosecutors and police said an informant called Wilkes-Barre Detective Ronald Foy and said he knew Rynkiewicz for only a month, but that she was a self-proclaimed Nazi and wore Nazi-related clothing to signify her membership.

The judge scheduled a sentencing hearing for next month.

She [probably] did it on a "Dare" to prove something to someone (who's very evil)!
Also, she could be employed as a "Nanny" with some nice Jewish family!!!
A few years back it was discovered that one of the most rabid [black] anti-Semites (his Race is relevant to this case because he was a black nationalist demagogue of the ilk of alsh Harpton) lived? in a building with some [high class] Jewish Doctors and lawyers!!! (he was bald (in his natural state) but used a toupee when he was among his Jewish "Friends"! One day a nice old Jewish lady recognized him when he was shouting his Racist and anti-Semitic stuff from the podium!!! (non fiction)!
