https://heavy.com/news/2018/10/robert-bowers/Robert Bowers allegedly said all these Jews need to die prior to his arrest following a massacre at the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in Pittsburgh. The horror unfolded on the morning of October 27 in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of the city. There were close to 100 people inside of the synagogue at the time of the attack. Bowers is a 48-year-old resident of Pittsburgh.
As many as 12 people were shot at the scene, including three police officers. Of that 12, eight are reported to have died. An hour before the shooting, Bowers wrote on a social media site, Gab, HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I cant sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics. Im going in. HIAS is the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.

We used to belong to the local JCC. Great pool but it is out in the middle of nowhere with really bad phone service. I used to take my daughter out there but I had to really keep myself aware. Sorry but I had to. I recognized how soft a target it was for pieces of s___ like this guy. They had an armed guard there for big events like Members Day.

even more than folks of color, women, immigrants, MS-13, 'the gays'.
I fear the OctoberSurprise is just beginning. Perhaps this, the bombing campaign, and whatever's next = Trump's so-called RedWave.
