No, and neither was Kessler. But they'd still be stirring up trouble that could be easily avoided by staying away. |
There are more videos of the same guy coming close to kids and telling them they are not real jews among other hateful things. You are trying really hard to prove that Kessler cause his own death. |
I'm sorry you find rationality disgusting. |
DP. Seriously? You're blaming the man who died for somehow "provoking" a violent physical act. Nothing justifies slamming someone in the head with a heavy object, causing them to fall. So according to your twisted "logic," the three Palestinian men must have done something to "provoke" the gunman. Right? Right.
|
My logic is based off of the investigation. The shooting of the Palestinian men hasn't been investigated yet. |
| Oh look the suspect was arrested. |
Jason Eaton, age 48. Looks like he was formerly in the US army. Will be arraigned today @10:30 and police will give a press conference. https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/crime/2023/11/27/shooting-burlington-vermont-arrest-victims-possible-hate-crime-north-prospect-street/71715148007/ https://www.thedailybeast.com/mary-reed-mother-of-burlington-suspect-jason-j-eaton-speaks-out |

No one is saying the death of Paul Kessler is not tragic. However, it looks like it happened after some type of altercation or dispute at the rally. He was not singled out and targeted.
I think previous PPs were just pointing out that these three men, along with the boy who was killed and his mom who was stabbed as well as the Stanford student hit by a car, were all attacked while they were just living their regular lives. And that is concerning. |
|
So not a college student associated with Hillel.
But rather a "very fine person" - I wonder who he voted for and what news outlets he consumes. (I don't really wonder) What a tragedy for those kids. |
Israel's "right to defend itself" has historically been used as cover to engage in the mass slaughter of an entire people. So yes, that is inflammatory. |
This is terrifying. My heart goes out to those young men and their families. However, this is not surprising with the purposeful demonization of Arab and Muslims pushed by the media, our politicians, and many PPs on this board. These deaths are not happening in a vacuum. |
|
Did they count random murder of female muslim doc in Houston as a hate crime or is it still under investigation?
Its just so sad whenever any innocent loses their life to hatred, regardless of their race or religion. We need to be better than that, no matter what our differences are. |
Our daughter was home from UVM for the holiday. Lots of agita within the UVM parent community about this one, but it appears to be completely unaffiliated with the UVM community (although it is scary that this happened less than three blocks north of campus). This should definitely be prosecuted as a hate crime. |
| anybody else ever been to Burlington Vermont or seen UVM? It's smaller than Tacoma Park, MD and people are generally easy going. This is horrible, horrible horrible on so many levels. |

Jason Eaton, 48, arrested last night. Another white dude with a gun who feels empowered to shoot brown men and women. But yet all we hear is how colleges need to do more to combat anti-semitism - because it's fair game on Arab and Muslim lives, I guess.
