Shooting at Chabad of Poway Synagogue

[Tennesseer]

I am kind of surprised a thread was started this morning about a NYT international edition cartoon story and not the mass shooting in our own country at the Chabad of Poway synagogue. The shooter was probably someone we all should be concerned about, especially when they are armed and hold a bias against groups based on their race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin and more .


The Chabad synagogue shooting victims: A rabbi, two Israelis and a ‘Woman of Valor’

Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein was preparing for his sermon during services Saturday morning, a series of ceremonies on the final day of Passover, when he walked into his synagogue’s banquet hall and heard the deafening bang.

Only moments before, Lori Gilbert Kaye, his friend of two decades and a pioneering congregant at Chabad of Poway, had stopped the rabbi to ask what time Yizkor would begin, a seasonal prayer meant to celebrate and remember those who have died. She and her husband were there with their 22-year-old daughter. They wanted to honor Kaye’s mother.

“11:30,” the rabbi replied.

So when he heard the bang, Goldstein thought Kaye may have fallen, or that perhaps a table had toppled. When he turned to look, though, he saw not Kaye, but a man wearing sunglasses and holding an assault rifle.

Well, Trump sent his thoughts and prayers, and says he is certainly not responsible for the rise in hate crimes, so it's all good.

By the way, another shooter, this one in TN near the KY line, killed seven people, with one other person wounded.

Seems like there must be something we could do to curtail all this violence but - you know - thoughts and prayers.....

Yeah I haven't seen any reporting on this guy's motives but it sure seems like the kind of hair triggered, mentally unstable, criminally minded individual who really shouldn't be able to lay his hands on guns.

As one of the gang banger I knew.. Who is now dead. Once said to me,

Give me $400 bucks and a little time, I can get you almost any gun you want!

We need to pass more feel laws that would not have any effect this under ground market.
