The gunman was black...



Police later detained and handcuffed a man not far from the synagogue. The youth, believed to be about 17 years old, matched the very loose description of the attacker, who was described as a black man wearing a hoodie, Moore said.

There's a possibility that it probably isn't an hate crime.

No.

Israeli Consul General in Los Angeles Yaakov Dayan, said "we don't know if the shooting had an anti-Semitic background or not. The question is why he shot those two individuals, and not all fifty worshippers. Therefore, it is not clear whether this was a hate crime. At the moment all of the witnesses are being investigated, including the Rabbi and the suspect himself."

Regardless - it's a place of worship. Nobody's got no respect no more.

[LineDoggie]

Doesnt sound like terrorism as he didnt run amok yelling Olive Snackbar while shooting everyone in sight. And didnt go for Torso shots, went for the legs, quite odd.

Dissed Gangbanger? or EDP?

"no more"? People have never had respect. Ya know what some of the juiciest targets were for Viking Raids along Britain's coastline? Monasteries. Places of worship almost always have shiny sh1t that's worth $$$, whether we are talking 1000 years ago or today.
