Somebody forgot, either the rabbi or the OP.

Yup, looks like he did forget. Thankfully most others didn't
Forgot?

That was a rhetorical question.

So your point is the same as mine that he did not forget?

I didn’t hear the rabbi’s speech so I don’t know who omitted the other 2. It’s possible whoever typed up the post omitted them. If you want hard facts, which you always do, you gotta ask the rabbi directly.

Facts are always the right way to go. When it said "By Rabbi Ron Yitzchok Eisenman, Rabbi, Ahavas Israel Passaic" I thought he was the author of the piece.

Or perhaps from a speech he gave. I honestly don’t know

Why don't some people like the idea of gene editing humans? (Once the technology is advanced enough to be safe)

Regarding ethical concerns mentioned above, I can't see how concern about misuse for eugenics can ethically proscribe it's use to cure known debilitating disorders.

Aside from that, the  human genome is mind-boggling complex as remains largely not understood. Experiments with CRISPR to date have yielded unforeseen and dangerous side effects.

In my mind, it is certainly conceivable that it will never advance enough to be safe for most applications.

Knowing just a little about Rabbi Eissemann is enough for me to say that it certainly was not omitted intentionally , IF  it actually was omitted in the original article or speech .
May you slide down the banister of happiness & get many splinters of success up your career.

+1 It would be uncharacteristic of him.

I agree.
He does write those pieces himself (they are not speeches) but they are written like blog posts. My guess is those were the 2 nmaes he knew at the time of publication as there was some confusion over who exactly were the victims.

This makes sense except for the police officer that was known right away.

He wrote it himself, it was not from a speech. Knowing Rabbi Eisenmann (I prayed at his synagogue this morning), he most certainly did not intend to give off the impression that he grieved the loss of the Jews and not the others. That is the OPPOSITE of the type of person he is. I'd guess he didn't know the names of the others at the time (although you make a valid point about the police officer). In addition, the fact is that the theme of the article was the anti-Semitic angle, given the target and assumed motivation behind the attack, so he may have chose to only include the details that pertained to the theme of his post (but certainly not with intention to ignore the others).

At the same time, I do think that it may have been better had he included all of the names, and I would assume that if Rabbi Eisenmann knew about this forum and CV's question, he would not double down but rather clarify/apologize.

I would agree but according to the Count it would need to be
filed under hearsay.
