Is it your understanding that it's pure coincidence that an avowed white supremacist chose to drive 100 miles to Charlottesville and then into a crowd, by happenstance on the same day in the same city as the day of direct action by those white nationalist groups?
It is your understanding that no one else in the world contributed to the Tree of Life shooter's belief that murdering Jewish people was necessary and important? He, operating alone, picked a synagogue purely by chance?
- paulddraper 8y ago? > by happenstance It was deliberate choice. > picked a synagogue purely by chance Also deliberate. But though the deliberate choice of targets is clear, I'm not advocating banning Congregate Charlottesville or closing synagogues. Right to assembly is a basic human right.
- laughinghan 8y agoAgreed. No one is talking about closing synagogues. Not sure why you brought that up. And I wasn't suggesting you thought he rolled a dice when choosing his target. I'm asking what you mean by "operating alone": do you think it's happenstance that his deliberate choice of target, and his ideology, coincided with white nationalists'? That the lone Orlando Pulse nightclub shooter's ideology coincided with ISIS'?
