yeah I heard about that. There's some crazy monkeys out there.

Dare I say it's karma for being jewish...?

...I'm only kidding.

Was there shooting in a/the synagogue? That'd be extra-bad. I can find no reference on this or a couple of other same-subject threads here that you have not posted to, or in any news report that the guy went postal in a place of worship and was shootin' folks while they worship... can you confirm? Deny? Is this spin? Blackwater-Spetznatz-Ton-ton-Macqout-types will make a killing! In a 'Gogue or what? I'm thinkin' not... but have an open mind.

V Kaminski, did you have a look at the link?

From the original story:

Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said a Muslim gunman killed a woman and wounded five others at a Jewish center in Seattle, Washington, Friday afternoon, and police were protecting mosques as well as synagogues out of fears of retaliation.

If you are near a tv, go to MSNBC, CNN or any of the all-news stations. They say tht he shouted "I am mad at Israel" before he started shooting. I think it was five women that he shot , one died.

This REALLY pisses me off!

If useless people like this want to play our their antiquated tribal hatreds due to current events, let them all go back to the middle east where that kind of crap is the norm.

But carrying on their conflict on US shores is unacceptable. When you come and live in America, you leave all that behind you. If you arent willing to part with it, then stay wherever it is they live. We got enough problems with homegrown criminals and deviants as is, and with a corrupt government to boot, without having to take all the tribal warfare from other countries and their problems.

And this was in my former hometown of Seattle, which has always had pretty low crime rates, and a mix of all kinds of people who managed to get along despite opposing cultures!

I remember hearing that one of the woman shot was pregnant. Didn't he go after mainly woman after the recpionst buzzed him in? This freaked me out a little last night seeing as I live close to Seattle.

This is already being discussed in PTS.

Rip on me if you'd like... I don't see any news that says a "synagogue" was shot up anywhere... Yes, those with daggers ready I read all the links and I have access to most main stream media and have been following mostly on King5 out of Seattle. Is a Jewish center and a synagogue the same thing? I dunno you tell me if y'all are so up-on-the-wheel.

Attacking a place a worship is the lowest, vilest, sort of thing only humans can do short of lying about it or spreading non-truth and innuendo laden gossip that may further some cause or another against some "otherness".

This thread title is misinformation of the most inflammatory kind... right up there with racism. Bah, fact matters little to those with an agenda. I happen to like fact... highly under-rated this fact stuff.

I'll get mine from sources who can do fact. Have a nice anger-fest and a pleasant evening of winning friends and influencing public opinion. Glad I could be your bullseye, very revealing.

It's against Islam to kill any innocents, and what the guy did has nothing to do with Islam. It even says in the Quran than Christians and Jews are our brethren in faith, so I don't see how attacking a woman who had nothing to do with the Israeli government would solve anything. The media tends to focus on his religion rather than nationality, to provoke thought that religion is what steming his hatred. I agree that murder of innocents has no place in the US or elsewhere in the world.

I heard about it on Fox news. I'm pretty sure it happened.
