Pity the children of the slain woman in Seattle whose only crime was working at the Jewish version of the United Way, when a self-proclaimed "angry" "Muslim-American" showed up with a gun. Not to mention the five others he wounded, also women, probably also mothers, at least one of them pregnant.
Just another reminder, whether in USA or the Middle East, how the angry Muslims almost always target civilians.
Brave mujaheed, as Meryl Yourish sarcastically puts it. Indeed.
Mr. Boy’s basketball day camp, at the J in Austin, has additional security, and it was comforting the other day at pick-up time to see an off-duty Texas state trooper working his shift. Also the sign at the front gate telling drivers that if they have no member sticker or other proof of legitmate business their trunk will be searched.
No hate murders of Jews here yet, but Central Texas is not immune to the ever-present anti-Jewish virus, though the most visible evidence was a few years ago when swastikas were spray-painted on a new congregation’s storefront synagogue.
UPDATE AskMom says "Seattle is already tying itself into a pretzel thinking of excuses for this latest, hometown Jihadist evil" and American Digest has an high school pix of the grinning perp, Naveed Afzal Haq, from the Seattle daily, although I’d rather see photos of the victims and their families.
MORE The scummy shooter has now disappeared into the justice system where I hope he rots. Instead of more on him, although you can read it here, I’ll reprint what the Seattle daily said about the dead woman, a mother of two grown children, who apparently was a convert to Judaism 40 years ago:
"Colleagues identified the slain woman as Pam Waechter, 58, of Seattle. Waechter, an assistant director at the federation, died at the scene.
"’This is just an extraordinary shock. We lost a really wonderful colleague, a wonderful friend. It’s hard," said Nancy Geiger, the charitable organization’s interim chief executive.
"’She was a person everybody loved, everybody enjoyed being with. She was a tireless worker for the Jewish community,’ said Rabbi Jim Mirel of Temple B’nai Torah, where Waechter was a past president."
And now, because of some mooj wannabee, who gut shot the other women and tried to do the same to the pregnant one, Pam Waechter is dead.
