Shooting at Jewish Federation of Seattle

At least one dead and five injured. Early reports say a Pakistani who is "angry at Israel" is the shooter. Please pray for the victims.

1. My deepest sympathies to everyone. I'm shocked, but not surprised. The war has, indeed, come to the U.S.
We stand with Israel!

2. My prayers go out to all involved.

Damn coward can't go fight the ones he has problems with on the battlefield, he has to come here and shoot up women. Disgusting.

3. Brave Muslim guns down five women with a shotgun! What a noble jihadist.

This would not have happened in Israel. He would not have made it past the lobby.

What a terrible way to start the Sabbath! My condolences to the family of the woman who was killed and to those who were injured.

8. I pray for the Jewish victims, the true "Religion of Peace"/ For I do not see Jews flying planes into our building, beheading our citizens or shooting up Muslim gathering places. The worst thing I can say about Jews is that they let David Goldstein be a member.

Who wants to bet that the Pee-Eye and Times will be printing "Jews deserved it " letters from liberals left and right over the next few days?

Reports are that there was an FBI bulletin sent to Seattle Police to look out for attacks. I have to wonder if the government was allowed to WIRETAP this "Muslim American", if this tragedy would have been prevented.

9. May the deceased victim rest in peace, and may her family and friends be comforted.

May the wounded victims recover fully.

May the coward who committed this heinous act receive the justice he deserves.

May the people of this community and nation realize that the blame for this act rests with the gunman. He's the one who pulled the trigger, and nothing will excuse his actions.

10. There is an old intelligence adage that I have lived by for many years: "The first report is always wrong." We won't know for some time just what happened today but in the final analysis, this remains a tragedy, a crime, and an act of terrorism. We are at war, and it won't be over soon.
My prayers and thought are with the victims and families of my fellow Americans.

11. My prayers go out to all the injured and condolences to the family of the woman who lost her life.

I barely made it past that are when it happened. I, along with 3 of my boys, where coming back from KVI right around the times the shootings occured. What a shock it was to hear it over the radio. I just hope this country wakes up to the reality of what has happened today.

12. To repeat what I wrote in my blog:

Oh, how I wish someboy, SOMEBODY, at that building had been legally armed. Coming on the heel of another shooting in Seattle, there will be, no doubt, calls for "stricter gun control" (like that would have stopped this creature of evil).
