I am angry, horrified, dismayed, disgusted that such creatures as that man still walk among us. Sadly, they no doubt always will. I couldn’t help thinking of those older people who lived through the holocaust and survived, only to have the monster still get them in a country and a synagogue where they should have been safe.
I hope this guy gets the death penalty.
John,
May I have your permission to reprint your column from today’s New York Post in the Member Feed at Ricochet?

What is occurring in the Democratic Party is a STRUCTURAL CHANGE in the Party which is for at least decade (remember the vote in the Democratic Convention on Isreal and Jerusalem which had to be overruled by the Chair) a move almost to a BDS ideology. This is a Party which is moving rapidly to the Left with many admirers of the current British Labor Party. Your participants mentioned a few Obama quotes. But what about Ben Rhodes calling the Israeli Prime Minister a chicken sh_tl; the State Department active engagement through political consultants to defeat Netanyahu; and the Iranian deal which was a complete sham and the spying of AIPAC and members of Congress when the vote occurred. Ellison, Holder, and new faces like Alexandria Cortez in NY are very explicit where they stand. The move from BDS to anti-semitism is seamless (and you just did a wonderful expose of the ADL under its new leadership). Where do you think the Democratic Party will be in 2 years, 5 years, and longer — starting to look like where the British Labor Party is today. You and your team are big thinkers and wonderful writers — concentrate on what is really happening.
I was just telling my dad the other day it seems that the frequency of these mass shootings should make it harder for the anti-death penalty people.
