the persecution against jews continues in workplace violence
killing is wrong but worse for studid reason. Jews have long know persecution and it continues across the seas and in our workplaces. A young, beautiful woman was killed in the bookstore cafe where she worked while going to Wesleyan. Although, it was not on campus is was very much still a school shooting with the perp and victim having once been co students in NY. she charged him with harassesment but then dropped it in court. we can only speculate why.
but it may have been her race and religion that was the source of the anger. Apparently, according to police statements, he was a threat to jewish institions and people.
Again, they are a people who have been targeted and now, in this land, the killing happens while we are at work. Sometimes it was the institutions themselves that were the targets.
In July 31, 2006, a man walked into the Jewish Federation in Seattle, killing a woman, wounding 5 others and traumtazting a whole community before he was stopped. List of problems with him: bi-polar, off meds, sex offender, employement problems, drop out. Stated he was mad at Isreal.
could this have been prevented? well, he was stopped a few hours before the rampage for moving violation. was not suspicious at that point. then he waited outside tillsomeone opened the door to the federaion. a young woman was the one he followed. While he stated his motive was racist, investigators believed that it was more of a sign of mental illness than militant islamist. I still say you have to be crazy to kill.
I will add more cases in my newsletter later this week.
