According to the homeowner, who is Jewish and also has a mezuzah outside of her house, the man walked by a half an hour before coming back and setting her flag on fire.
Authorities are searching for a man who was caught on camera lighting an American flag on fire outside of a West Hills home on Saturday. The homeowner believes that her house was targeted specifically because she is Jewish, and also has a mezuzah, or an item to remind Jews of their obligation to God hung on her doorpost. 'We have in the front yard, a mezuzah, symbolizing that we're Jewish,' said the homeowner.
'As such, Los Angeles Police Department investigators have classified the incident as a hate crime as they search for the man who was seen on camera holding a lighter to the corner of an American flag hanging from the home. The homeowner, who saw the fire burning via a doorbell camera, quickly called her neighbors who were able to remove the flag and put out the flames before it spread to the house. 'I can't believe that we're not safe in our homes,' the woman said.
