A Miami Beach pensioner who allegedly vowed to burn down his apartment building with “all the f***ing Jews” after facing eviction from his condominium is facing charges of attempted arson and attempted murder.
Walter Stolper, 72, had reportedly been aggressive towards residents and the board of directors of his building.
On Friday afternoon, police found 28 containers of gasoline, sulphur powder and potassium nitrate in a storage room linked to Stolper.
“We believe we were minutes away from a potentially deadly situation,” said Miami Beach Police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez.
