‘Santa, I want the head of a Nazi under my tree’: Masked creeps deliver Christmas cards with threatening leftist messages
Jaret McComas told KCBS-TV last week that he found a Christmas card left on his doorstep in Yucaipa, California, and was taken aback by what was written inside.
“I pick it up, open it, and it reads, ‘Santa, I want the head of a Nazi under my tree,'” McComas told the station.
‘When you have people roaming your neighborhood in black face masks, leaving violent notes and warnings, it’s kind of disturbing.’
But he wasn’t the only resident in his neighborhood to receive such a card.
Another card read, “Merry Christmas and f**k you Nazi,” KCBS said.
Neighborhood resident Scott Ungar told KABC-TV that each card contained a different message: “The one over there said a date, and they said, ‘You’ve been warned,’ like they were warning something is going to happen on a specific date.”
Ungar added to KABC that “all of the stuff that they were putting in [the cards was] stuff you have been hearing for Antifa.”
More from KCBS:
Doorbell camera footage from some of the homes shows masked men placing the cards in various locations, such as planter boxes and on doormats, and then blowing a kiss to the camera. Another home’s surveillance camera captured the suspects spitting on a Tesla belonging to their neighbor.
Simona Stacks, another neighbor who got one of the cards, told KCBS that “it’s really terrifying, to be honest with you, because we’re home. I have my 14-year-old daughter — what if she was outside? What if you see four men with masks on?”
Ungar added to KABC that “when you have people roaming your neighborhood in black face masks, leaving violent notes and warnings, it’s kind of disturbing.”
Stacks wondered to KCBS why her home and others were targeted — and she has one theory: “Maybe it’s all the American flags, Trump flags. … It really does feel like a bit of a hate crime.”
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Public Information Officer Jenny Smith told KCBS that officials there are “investigating to see what that crime could lead to, or what was the purpose of those letters. We don’t have a specific crime indicated as of yet.”
Deputies told KCBS that at least two suspects were involved in last Monday’s incident and that they ran away on foot when one of the homeowners approached them.
McComas noted to KABC that neither he nor his neighbors who received the cards display political signs or affiliations.
“I am not a heavy conservative,” he added to KABC. “I’m gay, engaged to my fiancé, Roger. So it’s just kind of concerning for me because I am like, ‘What did I do?'”
McComas told KABC he also wondered if the American flag outside his home might have been what attracted the culprits’ attention, but he said that not every targeted house had an American flag.

Either way, the sheriff’s department told KCBS that patrols in the area would increase while the investigation continues.
What’s more, the neighbors added to KCBS that they are not letting the disturbing cards dampen their holiday activities.
“Gonna bring the Christmas spirit back to the street, and hopefully that cheers everybody else up,” McComas told KCBS.
Investigators believe there may be other unidentified victims and are asking those who have more information to contact them at 909-918-2330, KCBS said.

Video: Masked smash-and-grab robbers don’t look so scary when jewelry store owner pulls his gun and opens fire
Masked robbers clad in dark clothing quickly took over a California jewelry store last week, as surveillance video shows them fanning out and smashing display cases in a brazen heist.
This is, until the owner of the store came into the camera frame with his gun and opened fire.
‘It’s shocking to the conscience. It’s scary to the family because it is a mom-and-pop store with family being your own employees, it’s your own business and your livelihood.’
The imposing crew suddenly looked quite overmatched as they stumbled and sprinted out the store.
The incident at Olivia’s Fine Jewelry in Madera took place around 7 p.m. Thursday, KFSN-TV reported. Madera is about a half hour northwest of Fresno.
Four of the crooks took part in the smash-and-grab while one stayed by the door as a lookout, KFSN said. Video shows the lookout holding the door open for the rest of the crew as they ran out of the store to get clear of the gunfire.
After the robbers ran into the parking lot, video shows the owner on the sidewalk in front of the store still shooting at the fleeing crooks.
“It’s shocking to the conscience. It’s scary to the family because it is a mom-and-pop store with family being your own employees, it’s your own business and your livelihood,” Madera Police Sgt. Blake Short told KFSN.
The robbers took with them an estimated $170,000 in jewelry, the station said, and authorities added that no one was hit by gunfire.
“I believe the store owner did what he felt was necessary at the time. We don’t always recommend that in this field. Fortunately, no one was harmed in this situation,” Short added to KFSN.
The station said authorities were able to recover the getaway car, described as a dark gray Audi, and that the suspects ditched it just outside of the Madera city limits.
Police also called the robbery sophisticated, KFSN said, adding that the suspects had a clear plan.
Short noted to the station that a “preliminary investigation shows that they were kind of in the area for a little while … we would say in our field ‘casing the business.’ This was definitely meticulous. It was thought out. It did not appear to be a first time for these individuals.”
Veronica Casillas, an employee of a nearby store, told KFSN that “it was very scary. We heard just a loud noise, and I told the manager ‘I think those gunshots.'”
The investigation is ongoing, the station said, and no additional descriptions of the suspects have been released.
