More on the shootings downtown
The shootings at the Jewish Federation were apparently a hate crime. [Seattle Times] Stating “I’m a Muslim American, I’m angry with Israel,” a man walked into the building and started shooting. Five women were brought to Harborview with gunshot injuries. Three are in critical condition.
Does it really need repeating that no matter how oppressed you feel, you won’t solve it by killing random uninvolved people? How hard a concept is this?
The shooter, according to KING 5, was a 31 year-old man originally from Pakistan with a criminal record. So far authorities don’t think he had any ties to any terrorist organization, but they’re still looking.
What a lovely way to start the weekend. Our thoughts are with the victims.

It makes no sense to me how people can claim to be so religious and then turn around and kill innocent people. Does their god make this alright because if he does this really scares me! To me this is not a god but the devil. God wants the best for everybody no matter their race, sex , color or religion. God does not judge, only the devil does no matter what are beliefs are. God is always what we look up to and if you believe that your god wants you to kill for him then you have been fooled by the devil.
