Shocking video captured the moment a man walked into a San Francisco synagogue and fired several blank rounds in front of stunned congregants after reportedly saying, “I’m going to show you something.”
The terrifying episode unfolded at the Schneerson Center, a synagogue predominantly attended by Russian-speaking Jews, where the man walked in at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
He made some hand gestures in front of a group of people, pulled a gun from his jacket and fired the blanks, the video posted by KRON shows.
As an elderly man approached him, the gunman saluted and left the synagogue.
Police later found the suspect, identified as 51-year-old Dmitri Mishin, in the Richmond District and slapped him with multiple charges, including disturbing a religious assembly and brandishing an imitation firearm, CBS San Francisco reported.

Too bad there wasn’t an armed security guard there.
Pointing one’s finger and saying “Bang! Bang!”
I am guessing, that translates into hostility?
Of course, Alex Baldwin was also pointing a gun and pulling the trigger on a revolver that was supposed to have blanks in it...
Jews and Russians - the two main subjects of ginned-up leftist/media hate.
It is San Fransicko after all. I’m pretty sure there would be armed Chabadniks almost any other big city location.
Saw the video: curiously, the folks who were sitting around the area didn’t even duck. One covered her ears. Didn’t seem to actually be a lot of “alarm.” Maybe it was a game of “charades”? The pistol was mostly pointed up so maybe it was part of chicom new year?
I am not advertising for this group but I like their spirit:
“Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of gun rights in the United States and to encourage Americans to understand, uphold, and defend “all of the Bill of Rights for all Citizens.” The group was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran....”
Going by the age, maybe they couldn’t hear it.
That said, that old guy who confronted him is awesome.
Many Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language.
Looks like the Russians are pretty cool customers. Did not react at all.
If this were a mosque being shot at, you’d never hear the end of it.
Alec Baldwin?
If so, he’s really put on the pounds.
**and brandishing an imitation firearm***
So, was the firearm real or not? It looked like a Beretta from another web site and I wondered how it would work due to blanks not making enough back pressure to operate the slide.
And from the way the man worked with it, it appears he knows little about firearms.

“No. Weapons are cycled one way or another by the pressure built up by the expanding gas pushing behind a bullet. A blank round has no projectile, and so the gas is vented out the muzzle.”

He could have PLUGGED THE barrel, or installed a blank-firing adapter, which works in a similar way.
