    Whether the antisemitism comes from extremists on the left or the right, it is wrong and should be denounced and stopped.

    Agree, as long as it's truly anti-Semitism and not just valid criticism of Israel's actions both before and after the October 7 attack.

    Before the attack, although the Jewish community compromises 2.4% of the US Population, they incur 55% of all hate crimes.

    My tribe is the human race. Just not immigrants or anybody that ever disagrees with me. Because they are so divisive. Good stuff!

    The only word I disagree wort is “retaliate.” They are defending themselves against a foreign force that attacked them and therefore must be defeated and removed.

    I don't think you know what the term "tribe" means. Perhaps reading might help.

    You have to take this stuff seriously, someone threatening to "shoot up" needs to be investigated and arrested if warrented.

    Already happened. Investigated. Arrested. I was trying to see if there was a suggestion of motivation, but nothing I have seen so far.

    Minor correction. The 55% is a percentage of all religious bias crimes. Anti-Jewish bias crimes comprise about 10% of all bias crimes (it's the second leading bias type behind anti-black/African American at 29%).

    You can hope this prevented future violence, but you never know for sure.

    Yup, you can never know.

    I tend to think those who communicate random threats of violence don't often follow through on them. NTL, good that they got him.

    Maybe so, but it’s seems in bad taste and bad timing to point that out.

    Just admit you are ok with people celebrating the kidnapping, raping and murdering innocent Israeli's. You are shown proof and just laugh it off. You look foolish. Not a shock.

    Looks Asian with (I think) Chinese last name. That’s weird. Don’t really think of Asian American anti-semite’s. Maybe he’s Muslim?

    Of course it isn’t necessarily “rational”, could just be pure mental illness. The mom said he was depressed and possibly suicidal.
