#2 Bomb. Long Gun. Cop killed.

There is no way it's not an antisemitic if not terrorist attack. Now they'll brush it away as a 'hate crime'. Riff-raff try not to kill cops. They do their gang thing and throw down their weapons to surrender.

#4 A coincidence, or was the Yeshiva the intended target ?

Up to 100 children were held in the yeshiva (an Orthodox Jewish elementary or secondary school) next to the market.

Chaim Deutsch, a councillor in nearby New York City, tweeted on Tuesday night that “evidence indicates that this attack was motivated by antisemitism.”

He continued: “This is horrifying. Jews have been attacked, beaten, & killed, simply because of our religion.”

Jersey City mayor Steven Fulop said the initial investigation suggested the kosher store had been targeted.

“I know the entire Jersey City community stands together with the Jewish Community during these challenging times,” he tweeted.

#7 Rabbi Moshe Schapiro, co-director of Chabad of Hoboken and Jersey City, said the kosher store is located next door to "a small, yet visible, synagogue.”

#8 Six people including at least two Strictly Orthodox civilians were killed on Tuesday after a gun rampage across a New Jersey town ended with two gunmen barricading themselves inside a kosher supermarket.

Two of the victims inside the building were named as members of the Chasidic community: Leah Mindel Ferencz, of Jersey City, who owned the kosher store with her husband, and Moshe Hirsch Deutsch, 24, from Brooklyn.

The violence broke out when police were pursuing the gunmen in connection to a separate murder investigation.

One of them opened fire at an officer, killing him, before they both fled in a stolen rental truck and driving a mile to Jersey City’s Greenville neighbourhood, where dozens of Chasidic families have relocated in recent years.

Three civilians were killed in the hours-long gunfight with police that followed. Hatzalah paramedics were among those responding to the stand-off.

Local politicians said the attackers deliberately targeted the JC Kosher Supermarket on Martin Luther King Jr Drive.

#9 Initial shooting site, Bayview – New York Bay Cemetery. Were shooters attempting to set up an ambush, but were discovered by officer in plain clothes ?

The cemetery contains a section which is an early Jewish burial ground, unique to Hudson County.

#11 OK, lets do some figuring.
If it were Muslims, it would be mystifying crime instead of hate crime.
If it were whites, we would have their names + (carefully) selected parts of their social media postings by now.
So, it's gotta be "Illegal Americans" or "African Americans".

#12 suggested the kosher store had been targeted.

They didn't like the gefilte fish?

I'm not a betting man but I bet that "abdul" and/or muhammed were involved.

Well there is some heartburn in the historically Wacandan neighborhood over the rise in members of the Jewish community moving into the area.

#16 The 26/11 Mumbai attack was a cluster strike. It featured an attack on a south bombay chabad house, as well as other spectacles in public places. The chabad house was one of the primary directions given to the elements by their handlers in Pakistan. They covered considerable distance on foot with weapons to get there, skipping other targets like malls and restaurants. So we know that according to their target selection parameters, a chabad house or even a jewish family gathering ranks higher than say, a VVIP or high density commercial area.

#17 A coincidence ?

Gosh, why just the other day someone (Hi, Dron!) was suggesting we would see a coordinated spate of "incidents" in the very near future.

Based on the names, or lack thereof, I'm going with Wakandans at the moment.

I'm going to guess....gentrification.

#19 The 26/11 Mumbai attack was a cluster strike.

Based on the Daily Mail update, I think this was intended to be one, too. The calm approach to the shop suggests the attack was planned, and the large amount of ammunition suggests that after a massacre of all in the shop, they would have moved on to the nearby synagogue and school. Thank goodness the beat cops jumped in right away and stopped them there.
