Mass Shooting at a US synagogue (Pittsburgh, PA)

Multiple casualties and according to the people on reddit who have scanners the suspect has barricaded himself inside.

Alright guys let's play the preliminary blame game...The suspect is either

Right-wing Christian (and/or Trump supporter)
Islamic
Anti-Israel Leftist
Nothing (false flag answer...go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars)

Edit: Listening to the scanner now. Should have listened to it before posting, it sounds like they already caught him. Reported as saying "all these Jews need to die"

The timing of this after this week with the attempted bombings is suspect.

One month ago there was s suicide attack in Allentown in the same state that killed three people, i doubt if those incidents are related though

**TheDarkKnight** · October 27, 2018, 10:42 AM

Starting to lean towards option 1 (Though may not have been a Trump supporter).

8 people dead.

Name and age said over scanner earlier. While the name has been edited out this was the suspects last post on Gab (a right-wing website) though Gab appears to have taken down his posts.

Assuming they are all the same people he hated Trump but was very much right leaning.

Guns killed them

Why the media is waiting to call this is a terrorist attack? Oh wait, we don't know if the killer is a muslim yet...

Do we really have to do this

Let's just hope for the best instead of trying to score political points.

Agree with you completely.

This is terrorism. His whole purpose was to inspire terror and to kill people.

Was more a joke than anything. Hence the bit about the false flag.

But in the end option one appears to have been the closest, though again it appears that he hated Trump.

That's two major terror attacks this week committed by right-leaning people in America. Let's not pretend it isn't. It's disingenuous at best

Close those borders

**Prodromos** · October 27, 2018, 11:58 AM

It's very bad news regardless.

Where were the guards? Don't synagogues typically have a lot of metal detectors, private guards and police outside, especially these days?

**Papay** · October 27, 2018, 12:02 PM

I think the guards were targeted by the gunman

The victims have my condulence.

As long as US is because of unlimited freedom of speech the safe harbour for right-wing extremism, those things will happen.

Do you know, where german neonazis get their in Germany prohibited neonazi propaganda media from? Legal bought in USA.

Social Media of the Killer

What a fine person. Exemplary citizen.

And of course people on the right are taking the fact that he hated Trump as proof this was a "dem librul" and not the crazy right winger that he is. So right leaning in fact that he makes Trump look like a liberal in fact.

**Heathen Hammer** · October 27, 2018, 12:26 PM

So now its not just Russia or Trump, but freedom of speech itself that is the new "enemy". I wonder if people who spout such nonsense even realize that UK and Germany, which don't have freedom of speech at all, still have attacks happen there too.
Also given how US establishment has a long history of staging false flag attacks to convince public of certain things, wouldn't be surprising if this is the case as well.

Blaming free speech again? Restricted speech wouldn't have stopped this.

Killing Jews is 'free dumb of speeech' now? The 1930s rang, they asked you to move along.

That's not what I said. You'll have to try harder.

Well what were you whinging about? A racist/white nationalist killed 8 people, no doubt radicalised by the usual bollocks, and you are banging on about free dumb of speeeeech.

'.......................screw your optics I'm going in' Call that free speech? If American media can censor dicks, tits and fannies on TV, they can damned well close down calls to murder Jews over daft conspiracy theories.
