The dried-produce tycoon arrested after unleashing a series of antisemitic insults at his Jewish neighbors was caught on camera spewing another vile rant while being taken into police custody.
Bruce Lion, 64 — who was charged with making terror threats after several video clips emerged of him harassing a rabbi neighbor from his $5.3 million Pacific Palisades mansion — was seen in the latest footage in handcuffs surrounded by officers.
Lion can be heard yelling: “Hey f—k you Jews, f—k you Jews, you’re going to hell,” among other unhinged statements.
The rant continued when Lion asked the person filming his arrest if they are Jewish. “Hey, are you Jewish, boy? Because it’s starting. Five days ago. Judgment day m—therf—er. Tell your friends.”
Lion can be seen resisting being placed into a police cruiser.“Listen m—therf—er, I’ll f—ng hurt you. Hey, call my lawyer, call my f—ng lawyer,” hes’ heard saying as the door closes.
Lions, an heir to the Fresno-based Lion Raisins fortune, was arrested just before midnight Friday and charged with making terror threats.
A friend of the Lion family who appeared at an LA courthouse Tuesday for the man’s scheduled arraignment said he needs help.
“Everyone wants Bruce to get the help he needs,” said the friend, Megan.
She said she was also there to apologize to the rabbi, Zushe Cunin. “I’m very sorry for what happened, apologies to the rabbi,” Megan said. “Whatever we have to do to make it right. They are neighbors, we just want peace.”
She explained that Lion has been troubled for some time and that the arrest will lead to medical intervention.
Rabbi Cunin, who was also at the courthouse Tuesday, heard Megan’s apology, but remained focused on getting justice.
“I don’t know that there’s a place for her to make apologies for him. Apologies in life happen from the person who does the wrong,” he said.
“Although I do think it was well-meaning and well-intentioned, this is not about apologies. This is about action.”
The California Post obtained several videos of Lion yelling from the balcony of his mansion, screaming nonsensical grievances he has with the Jewish faith or with the religious leader himself.
Cunin said he’s been dealing with Lion’s antisemitism since the produce scion purchased the property next door to his chabad in March.
The rabbi accused Lion of directing antisemitic attacks at him, as well as interrupting a congregation at his home while shouting statements in front of children.
“I have thick skin but it’s not about me,” Cunin said Tuesday.
“I mean there’s my children, my grandchildren, the community families, Holocaust survivors,” he said. “To have to live through this kind of behavior in this serene, beautiful little community, it’s horrible.”Cunin said.
