MIT professor killed in home

[Anonymous]

I don’t know if I’m reading into things- but this case is unsettling in light of terrible events over the last few days.

The professor was Jewish and hope that detail is irrelevant to the bigger picture.

Up here in Massachusetts some folks are speculating there is a tie to Brown, but the agencies have shared info and others are saying it’s unlikely.

It’s sad when you have to look at a situation and hope it’s just a random or domestic murder and not antisemitism.

On another note this professor was doing some groundbreaking research into clean energy climate change solutions, which one can either look at as a loss to humanity or a motive for murder.

If he was killed in his home, it's more likely to be a home invasion gone wrong than something political or religious.

Just STFU with your pure speculation. It’s not helpful.

Not the PP but no need to snap back so hard. But it is obviously not a home invasion. It happened in the lobby of his apartment.

I don't think I've ever known a MIT professor to be killed by a student or mugging. Lots of on campus grad student shootings / muggings in my time (20 years ago).

Seems the PP interrupted your investigation of the crime?

Do you think that we are on the end he of a cliff? I’m feeling a lot of anxiety and wish i could just go off grid and not have to worry about society or money. Just educate my children and try and prepare them for a future i cannot even imagine.

DP. And your antisemitism link isn’t speculation?

Who cares? Let them speculate.
People ARE worried after all. Sheesh. Why does it bother you if they theorize?

Could be a love affair gone wrong or just a random mugging. Is Brookline generally safe?

As long as they aren’t being rude to others who also speculate

Brookline is safe- i could see it be a mugging gone wrong.
