Synagogue Casualties Increase

Submitted by ub on

Pittsburgh, PA public safety officials are reporting carnage after a shooter opened fire and killed 11 at a synagogue. Police confirm the suspect is in their custody. Robert Bowers, the arrested gunman was yelling "All Jews must die."

Worshipers were targeted on Shabbat morning at their local synagogue, which is a holy and peaceful gathering place. American hearts break for these victims, along with their families, the Jewish community and the entire nation.

#NRA How many massacres do #USA need to have before something gets done about it? Americans have asked these questions, but #POTUS nor #Congress do not have answers.

President Trump suggested armed guards at the synagogue could have helped. Should workers carry firearms inside the postal facilities, since the pipe bombs were previously mailed from there? Today the gunman’s shooting ended with casualties including four police officers. Weren’t they armed as well? What kind of true logic is @realDonaldTrump using and what is @POTUS actually thinking?

My parents and grandparents left their happy homes because of persecution partly because they would no longer be able to worship freely. I can only imagine what they would be thinking and feeling now. Like many, I grieve for the victims, their families and wonder what is going on in our great nation?

As religious worshipers are murdered and regime opponents are bombed, while so called leaders and their supporters look to blame left-wing mobs, and POTUS44, a former VP, Secretary of State as well as other politicians and their supporters. Meanwhile, the President of The United States or America blames the news media, which is reporting what’s going on and fact-checking, while he praises violence. Does this worry any one?

“It’s a horrific crime scene. It’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen.” Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich says the synagogue shooting is being considered as a hate crime and will be under federal investigation. https://cnn.it/2O9sPXV
