5. Turns out, it was a "prank".

When the heat got turned up by news reports and police investigating, some of the assholes turned themselves in. They thought it would be funny. Allegedly, they didn't understand the ramifications of the food or the timing....yeah, OK.

My reasoning was other houses weren't hit (that may or may not be true, that seems unclear) and it was Berkley, which has been a hotbed of anti-Semitism as of late. However, while this was a "prank", anti-Semitism is still a real problem and incidents like this should always be investigated, but as a Jew, it is also understandable how and why we would see the initial "attack" was anti-Semitic.
