Florida man charged with arson for setting Chabad classroom ablaze before Rosh Hashanah

JL;DR SUMMARY A Florida man, Blake Richard Hoover, was arrested for allegedly setting fire to a Chabad classroom in Punta Gorda just before Rosh Hashanah.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
