BDE: Rabbi murdered on way to Shul

[zale]

People who despise Jews come in all colors. There are millions of black Muslims, many of which are fanatical. Check out Boko Haram

You may be right, but hate crime murders are usually committed by serious ideologues, and are usually done on a larger scale and are more calculated and planned.

In Crown Heights there is only one known hate crime murder, and it happened during a riot. There were, however, quite a few robbery homicides.

High crime neighborhood but until recently no hate crimes...

[askmoses]

If they were described as middle-eastern looking men, I would be certain it's a hate crime. As the details emerge, I might be proven wrong, but the current available facts just don't point to a hate-crime. Sounds like two stupid thugs trying to pull a fast one.

Which is why I said

You can't assume it's not a hate crime just because they aren't "Middle Eastern looking". I am not saying it was a hate crime. But I wouldn't be so quick to assume it isn't. Hashem Yishmor.

For those familiar with that area, does this sound like a robbery gone bad or a deliberate hate crime R"L?

Robbery gone bad.

There has been  anti Semitic graffiti painted there a few weeks ago.
It wouldn't surprise me if it was a robbery gone bad.

[ChaimMoskowitz]

So NO, drug-gang, uneducated criminals don't know this.

I am willing to bet the average person on the street does not know this.

I have emphasized a number of things for years. #1 carry a gun concealed with license which many do. #2 Miami Dade can not and is not policing the doughnut hole, if they would hand over to the NMB pd control and assign tax dollars the area would be much safer

BDE/ I know him kinda well.

Where was the shul with the swastikas? Same area?

Where was the shul with the swastikas? Same area?

Yes, two short blocks away.
Even so, there is a high probability that they are unrelated.

I never knew Todd was jewish.

Came a bit late to this thread. Anyhow, although the murder took place a couple of blocks from me, it was an isolated incident(Hashem Yishmerenu) that shouldn't be a cause to propagate fear mongering. The multiple access points to the "Jewish" NMB are indeed more than enough. I'll admit that. However, to assess (Jewish) NMB as a high crime area is simply false.

Unreal. The murderer, killer, and criminal goes free; and Rubashkin, who didn't touch anyone and has helped thousands of people for decades throughout his whole life, is sitting in prison for 27 yrs. Ridiculous: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sholom_Rubashkin

The point was lack of evidence that he was the killer, no?

If Rubashkin didn't get a fair judgement so neither should the alleged murderer?
Yeh let's throw out the whole justice system.
