    Guns don't kill people 

    anti-Semitic gun owners kill people

    Police sources tell KDKA’s Andy Sheehan the gunman walked into the building and yelled, “All Jews Must die.” Sheehan confirmed that eight people were confirmed dead. Others had been shot but the extent of their injuries in unknown

    Between this and the magabomber we're probably only days away from the next school shooting. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Right... because Trump has something to do with thinking posters here are so anti-Semitic that they are cool with mass shootings at Synagogues 

    Gotchya
    I'm going to make this as clear and concise as I can...

    What I wrote has nothing to do with the current president. 
    And you can be as contrarian as you want but there are anti-semites in this world, in this country,  and on this site that will always be okay with the senseless slaughter of jews.

    Shalom
    I'm not being contrarian in the slightest 

    I'm well aware there are anti-semites in the world, that's not the point

    I haven't seen any examples of any posters here that would come anywhere close to "being ok" with this shooting or any other targeted violence. Have you? If so, call out names and bring proof, because that us one hell of an accusation you're making my friend

    46 yr old Robert Bowers is the alleged shooter.....
    • Bowers posted several messages on Gab supporting President Trump. "Trump is a globalist, not a nationalist," he wrote on Thursday. "There is no #MAGA as long as there is a k--e infestation."

    They took him alive? Why?

    They'll gun down teenagers running from a shoplifting scene, but they'll exercise great restraint for a psychopathic scumbag?

    The great thinker of our time has weighed in.

    "If there was an armed guard inside the temple, they would have been able to stop him," Trump said before boarding a flight to Indianapolis.

    After landing, Trump told reporters the shooting looks like "an anti-Semitic crime."

    "We're learning a lot about it. It looks definitely like it's an anti-Semitic crime. And that is something you wouldn't believe could still be going on," he said.

    11 dead, 6 injured not including the asshole. No children. Yeah, more guns would be good - always need more guns. 4 of the injured were police officers with guns - but one 'good' guy in the church would have stopped him. Stupid statements by Trump are constant.

    Hate rhetoric feeding these unstable fuckers.

    Bowers made anti-Semitic comments alongside xenophobic content, claiming that Jews were helping transport members of the migrant caravans in Latin America. He shared a video that another Gab.com user posted, purportedly of HIAS, a Jewish refugee support group, on the US-Mexico border.

    He seems to hate Trump also. No wonder we've heard so much from the President about this incident. Not that we shouldn't hear from a President after such a tragedy, but not so with 45 most times.

    The Pittsburgh synagogue shooting comes amid a yearslong rise in anti-Semitism

    Between 2014 and 2016, hate crimes rose 10 percent.

    In the last year for which complete data is available, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an advocacy group dedicated to combatting anti-Semitism, found that there had been 1,986 reported anti-Semitic incidents in the United States that year, including acts of vandalism as well as physical violence. That figure was a 57 percent increase from 2016, which itself had seen a 35 percent uptick in incidents from 2015.

    The surge between 2016 and 2017 was the highest increase in incidents on-record since the ADL started reporting on them in 1979. Between mid 2015 and mid 2016, as the 2016 presidential campaign reached a fever pitch, more than 800 journalists received a staggering 19,000 anti-Semitic messages on Twitter.

    Wow, hate seems to be moving more and more into a prominent place on American thought menu these days.   And it's not limited to any party or state or race.  Quite the depressing state of affairs.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

    Another mass shooting...... I mean who really cares at this point, the fact that the leader of the free world has pushed the "more guns would have helped this situation" line shows how dumb this whole argument has become. 

    So again, who really cares anymore? Have at it.....
