Additional detail out this morning that Sayoc was also a DJ at a strip club and occasional male stripper.
Don't really see the relevance of this information, but I do see another mental image that I didn't necessarily need.

I legit thought this was a joke article when I spotted it.

The article I read claimed that he was crazy then too, threatening to kill his co-workers when they overshadowed him, and also said he taped tuna can lids to his feet and threatened to cut people up with them.

This is why I assumed the whole concept was a joke.

Heavyset white male with a beard walked into a Pittsburgh synagogue this morning, yelled "All Jews Must Die!" and opened fire, killing at least 4. Also shot 3 cops who responded to the attack. Was taken injured but alive, because of course he was -- he's white.

Just another day in Trumperica, circa 2018.

EDIT: Casualty downgraded based on available information.

I believe it was a joke regarding "black on black violence."

Yes, which is a) just generally tasteless and b) comes perilously close to insinuating something about the whiteness of Jews, which is a topic we are absolutely not equipped to handle in a suitable way.

I don't expect any respect for the dead police officers here, but I really wasn't expecting BLM talking points this time.

He was taken alive because a lot of officers were on site, so they had more options than a typical lone cop.  I guess he probably wasn't as suicidal as most domestic terrorists, or he screwed up badly.

It was a joke. It was tasteless. But it's damn frustrating when race gets brought into things without cause. Isn't it?

Like.... Jews? Where are we going with this? What does BLM have to do with a white guy gunning down some folks in a Jewish Synagogue and the 3 cops that tried to stop him?

Mostly referring back to Redking's:

Heavyset white male... Was taken injured but alive, because of course he was -- he's white.

The BLM message being that if he were black he wouldn't have been taken alive.

Yeah, RedKing pretty much posted an engraved invitation for people to start arguing race with that gratuitous bit of snark.  Arrest rates or fatality rates during arrests for whites versus non-whites really aren't relevant to the discussion of someone shooting up a synagogue.

But if we want an actual news story to go with it: NY Times coverage.

It's frustrating if you're white, I suppose. It's oppressive to the point of being frequently fatal otherwise.

*black man is in own apartment*

FEARED FOR HER LIFE FROM THE URBAN REFFER FIEND THAT

*white man opens fire on cops after massacring a Synagogue*

God Bless America for the rational restraint shown by Our Boys in taking this economically anxious mentally ill patriot alive, despite the agitations of BLM terrorists and minority opportunists
