Suspect in deadly synagogue shooting connected to Republican White Power Politics
These synagogue and mosque attacks are not the acts of isolated individuals. The Escondido synagogue shooter purposefully aligned himself with the White Power politics endorsed by President Donald Trump in an online anti-Semitic screed.
A gunman armed with a semiautomatic rifle walked into a suburban San Diego County synagogue and opened fire on the congregation Saturday, killing one person and injuring three in an attack that authorities believe was motivated by hate.
The gunman entered Chabad of Poway in the 16000 block of Chabad Way about 11:20 a.m. and started firing, authorities said. The 19-year-old suspect, identified as (NO Publicity for Murderers), of Rancho Penasquitos, was arrested a short time later.
The LA Times reports that (The murderer) appears to have written a letter posted on the Internet filled with anti-Semitic screeds, connecting his act with racist attacks in New Zealand and Pittsburg.
Gee, what a non surprise, fanning the flames of hatred kills again. And just like usual the weapon of choice was an AR15 clone.
Wait. I was lead to believe leftist socialist Muslims were the anti-Semites. You know with the vague “tropes” and such. I guess a rapidly discharging Army Rifle* 15 is more dangerous than mild criticism of AIPAC. Hmmmmmm.
……..
*The “AR” in AR 15 stands for Army Rifle. I’m going to a Mardi Gras Indian parade and won’t be reading replies. Thank you
Dummy- AR stands for Armolite Rifle. They invented it 60 plus years ago.
Oh, noes. “They” don’t like it when you don’t get the name right. They don’t know shit else, but they know their weapons.
I thought it stood for ‘AEl ryan Race’.
No mention that the shooter wrote that he hated Trump for loving the Jewish faith? Maybe you just didn’t know.
Only the uneducated love Trump, because he is as dumb as they are. The rest of Trump’s “supporters” are simply using the tools (Trump) they have to achieve their aims. They don’t love him. Remember Trump just blurts stuff that he thinks will make him popular with his followers. He doesn’t actually believe any of it. Beliefs imply that one has deeply held convictions. No one would ever accuse Trump of having any depth.
“Only the uneducated love Trump… ”
I think maybe only the uneducated, or rather uninformed, love any president…We are “a government of laws, not men”- Adams
I feel like the discourse really suffers while I’m away.
