Sitting here listening to the news of the latest hate crime in my state - a shooter opens fire in the Jewish Federation building downtown this afternoon - I am appalled. News reporters talk about "what set off the suspect" as if any act, any word, any happening in that man's life would or could possibly justify walking into a building and taking aim. They say "Jewish people, be extra careful tonight" without any trace of irony or any acknowledgment of how ridiculous that suggestion is... Are we supposed to feel better that it was "one person" and not some orchestrated terrorist act? This makes me want to bray, or howl, or sob. My thoughts go out to the victims and their families. Shame in Seattle. Let's see how this city responds.
Thanks to Doc Kozzak for posting this photo on flickr and sharing it with the world.
