Today it's anti-Semitism. Earlier this week it was anti-Democrat. It'll be something else tomorrow. So, yeah. Those people died for nothing. A true tragedy. Just like Pulse. Just like Vegas. Just like Washington. Just like Newton. Just like Colorado. Just like San Bernadino. Just like...I forget where else.

 

It's disgusting.

A civil war is near. 

Under his eye indeed

I think they meant that mass shootings are becoming "normal" in the US

They happen so often and nothing is done. It's sad.

I know, but this case is special. It’s just not a “random” shooting, it’s targeting the Jewish minority. It’s a hate crime.

Okay I get that, and that's horrible... but you're acting like this is the first mass shooting that was directed at a certain group of people. The Pulse club shooting was directed at people in the LGBT community. The West Nickel Mines School House shooting was directed towards the Amish. I could go on and on.

The shooting that happened today in Pittsburgh was very sad and uncalled for. And yes, it was probably a hate crime. However that doesn't make the lives of those lost in any other shooting less valid or important. No Shooting is "random" and I don't understand why you used that word in the first place.

I used random because there were shootings without any background. And I no way think the loss of lives of others is somehow less worth. I’m sorry it came across this way. But it’s important to say that this was an antisemitic hate crime as it’s important to say pulse shooting was homophobic.

Everyone knows that

Never thought my hometown would be on the news. Prayers sent to all the families who were effected by this.

So many people I know live in this neighborhood and a few of them even go to this synagogue, there are vigils starting tonight & a few fundraisers are up. The shooter was known for being a neo nazi by a lot of people before this incident apparently.

Me to my mom (a Pittsburgh native): "Did you hear what happened in Pittsburgh?"
My mom: Yeah, I did. Sad. Anyway


Me:  so are you not frightened by the fact a neo-nazi stormed in on a group of Jewish people and shot them dead during a naming ceremony or

I’m from that area too. Terrifying news yesterday. I hope the victims and their families find peace and love to recover from this tragic event.

This was not just a hate crime, but terrorist attack. Same as mail bombs (even tho no one died there). Both had political background and motive. 

Why is Trump and media avoiding to call it what it is?? Why are these men not facing terrorism charges?

And no one is asking where or how they were radicalized; - Trump rhetoric.

I say it every time but I wonder how many more people have to die, I thought after Pulse something serious would've changed but no. Another day, Another loss of Innocent life in America.
