Itongadol.- Eugene, Ore. – A University of Oregon student is facing charges after allegedly making antisemitic comments to a man outside a Jewish fraternity.
Damien Leon Ramirez has been charged with second-degree intimidation in connection with the incident.
The victim told police he was planning to walk a woman home Oct. 30 when he saw Ramirez sitting in the bed of his pickup truck near the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity.
After telling Ramirez to move, the man said Ramirez responded with slurs directed at Jewish people in general and at the victim in particular. Ramirez then reportedly made a comment about getting a firearm.
Police say Ramirez went inside a home and came back with something unidentifiable in his hand.
College officials have expressed concern and support for the fraternity.
