One person had died and three have been injured in a shooting at a synagogue in Poway, near San Diego, California. A suspect has been detained. The local mayor said the crime was hate-motivated.
Police responded to calls about a man with a gun at the Chabad of Poway synagogue at about 11:30 am local time on Saturday. Four victims were taken to hospital, and Poway Mayor Steve Vaus told NBC there was one fatality.

Police spokesman Sgt. Erin Meleen told media that the suspected gunman was apprehended down the road "a short distance from the scene."

In the panic caused by the shooting several children went missing but were later located and reunited with their parents, Meleen said. It is unclear how many people were in the temple when the shooter opened fire.

DETAILS TO FOLLOW

Apparently, there has been internet activity in the form of a letter announcing himself as a white Christian, and reads like a short manifesto. I already don't believe this bullshit.

No one does this; writes a letter and posts it to be timed with a horrible crime against Jews, knowing that it will be used as a blood libel against his people. Not too many people are crazy enough to go shoot up a synagogue, and white people worship Jews, especially white Christian men. They are especially not going to go through these lengths before they go and shooting up a church.

Also, Jews have traditionally received almost ALL grant money from the Department of Homeland Security. About $10 million per year as of 2010 so imagine how much they are siphoning from the federal government now?

I don't see the Chabad synagogues from the alleged shooting on the list below, but that list is over 10 years old.

The Jewish Daily Forward's List of all non-profit organizations that received Homeland Security grants from 2007-2010

I have read that this grant goes to security upgrades such as cameras, bulletproof windows and a high tech networking system that integrates various Jewish and law enforcement infrastructure.

Of course we never get any footage of a white man parking his car in front of a synagogue and walking down the street in broad daylight with an AR-15 styled rifle.

Netanyahu calls summit on 'upsurge' in anti-Semitic attacks worldwide after California shooting
https://www.rt.com/news/457753-netanyahu-jewish-attack-meeting/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the shooting at a California synagogue, and announced that he will host a summit to discuss the increasing number of anti-Semitic attacks around the world.

In a statement released on Sunday, the Israeli leader said that "the international community must step up the struggle against anti-Semitism." Netanyahu also stated that he would convene a special meeting to discuss issues surrounding the "upsurge" in anti-Semitic attacks "around the world."

The comments come in the wake of a shooting at a synagogue in Poway, near San Diego, California, which killed one worshipper and left three others injured.

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin also weighed in, describing the recent shooting as "a painful reminder that anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews is still with us, everywhere."

He added: "No country and no society are immune (to anti-Semitism). Only through education for Holocaust remembrance and tolerance can we deal with this plague."

Germany and France have raised alarm over an uptick in anti-Semitic violence and vandalism, while the United States has experienced another deadly synagogue shooting in just the last six months.

A shooting that occurred in October at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania killed 11 people and injured seven, making it the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the United States.

In December, the FBI arrested an admirer of Islamic State who was allegedly plotting to carry out a copycat attack in Toledo, Ohio.

A manifesto was allegedly uploaded somewhere online, doesn't say where online, but was found almost immediately by some anonymous person who tipped the FBI.

Anyone who knows anything about uploads knows that a post could go for days or even longer without being viewed, unless it is posted to a social media account that has at least a thousand followers.

One thing that I've noticed is that Yahoo and Huffington Post aren't plastering this Earnest guy's face all over the internet like they normally do, which is odd.

This is all horseshit anyway, and the funny thing is that no one even gives a shit. Probably because they are too wrapped up in the Game of Thrones and the NBA playoffs lol.

FBI got tips about threat minutes before synagogue shooting

The FBI said Monday that it received tips on a threatening social media post about five minutes before a gunman burst into a Southern California synagogue and opened fire with an assault-style rifle, killing a woman and wounding a rabbi and two others.

The tips to the FBI's website and phone number included a link to the anonymous post but did not offer specific information about its author or location of the threat. The FBI said employees immediately tried to determine who wrote the post, but the shooting occurred before they could establish his identity.

"The FBI thanks the alert citizens who saw and reported the post," the agency said.

One of the tipsters told The Associated Press that he called the FBI tip line at 11:15 a.m. Saturday because the post linked to a manifesto that said the author was responsible for a mosque arson in the city of Escondido last month. He says he found online that had the mosque attack had happened and feared the new threat was real.

The tipster, who refused to provide his name because of security concerns, said the call with the FBI lasted four or five minutes and the shooting happened soon after. He described the FBI as quick and professional and said he doesn't know what they could have done.

The shooting happened around 11:30 a.m. Moments afterward, police arrested 19-year-old John T. Earnest of San Diego. He is being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

The online manifesto written by a person identifying himself as John Earnest was an anti-Jewish screed posted about an hour before the attack. The poster described himself as a nursing school student and praised the suspects accused of carrying out attacks on mosques in New Zealand that killed 50 people last month and at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue that killed 11 on Oct. 27.

About 100 congregants were worshipping at the Chabad of Poway near San Diego on the last day of the Jewish holiday of Passover, which celebrates freedom, when the gunman killed Lori Kaye, 60. He also wounded the synagogue's rabbi, Yishoel Goldstein; Noya Dahan, 8; and her uncle Almog Peretz.

Goldstein said he was preparing for a service and heard a loud sound, turned around and a saw a young man wearing sunglasses standing in front of him with a rifle.

"I couldn't see his eyes. I couldn't see his soul," Goldstein said. He raised his hands and lost one of his fingers in the shooting.

And then, Goldstein said, "miraculously the gun jammed."

In the moments that followed, Goldstein said he wrapped his bloodied hand in a prayer shawl and addressed congregants gathered outside the building, vowing to stay strong in the face of the deadly attack targeting his community.

"We are a Jewish nation that will stand tall. We will not let anyone take us down. Terrorism like this will not take us down," Goldstein recalled telling the community.

Authorities said Earnest had no previous contact with law enforcement and may face a hate crime charge in addition to homicide charges when he's arraigned later this week. He was being held without bail, and it was unclear if he had an attorney.

Police searched Earnest's house and said he was also being investigated in connection with an arson attack on a mosque in nearby Escondido, California, on March 24.

There were indications an AR-type assault weapon might have malfunctioned after the gunman fired numerous rounds inside, San Diego County Sheriff William Gore said. An off-duty Border Patrol agent fired at the shooter as he fled, missing him but striking the getaway vehicle, the sheriff said.

He just lost a finger, but he manned up because had such a great speech prepared for the goyim. It was emotional and they loved it!

They've really got their tip-top best comedy writers working on this.   

He started emergency CPR on one woman — unaware she was his wife, family friend Dr. Roneet Lev told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The doctor fainted when he realized the victim was his spouse, Lev said.

"God picked her to die to send a message because she's such an incredible person.

"He took her for a higher purpose to send this message to fight anti-Semitism."

Doctor performed CPR on synagogue victim – not knowing it was his wife
https://nypost.com/2019/04/28/doctor-performed-cpr-on-synagogue-victim-not-knowing-it-was-his-wife/

A doctor whose wife was killed in Saturday's synagogue attack had started emergency CPR on her — unaware of whom he was helping, according to a family friend.

Shooting victim Lori Gilbert-Kaye, 60, had been with her husband celebrating Passover at the Chabad of Poway Synagogue near San Diego when authorities say gunman John T. Earnest, 19, burst in and opened fire with "an AR-type weapon."

Unaware that his wife had been fatally wounded when she leaped in front of Brooklyn-born Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, saving his life, her physician hubby raced over to help victims of the bloodbath.

He started emergency CPR on one woman — unaware she was his wife, family friend Dr. Roneet Lev told the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The doctor fainted when he realized the victim was his spouse, Lev said.

Lev said Gilbert-Kaye, the mom of a 22-year-old daughter, had gone to the synagogue also to say Kaddish, a Jewish prayer for the dead, for her own mother, who had recently passed away.

"The irony is people will be saying it for her now," Lev, director of emergency operations at San Diego's Scripps Mercy Hospital, told the paper.

"God picked her to die to send a message because she's such an incredible person.

"He took her for a higher purpose to send this message to fight anti-Semitism."

Earnest was arrested after the shooting, which also injured three others, including the rabbi and an 8-year-old girl.

An online manifesto suggests he was inspired by the mass shooting at a New Zealand mosque that killed 50 Muslims on March 15.

I've been monitoring Yahoo's comment section of articles on the synagogue shooting.

Most of the articles posted in the days after the shooting have very few comments in relation to other articles, such as the Mueller bullshit or the latest race-baiting outrage articles about some white person being racist toward towards blacks or immigrants.

Judging by the relatively few comments and activity, I think I was right when I said that people just don't really give a shit about one dead Jew.

They are also being burned out about these shooting events.

The very few comments from this article are woke as fuck! They are like, hey, why are we giving all this money to Jews? What happened to separation of church and state?

Poway synagogue got federal funds in March for security but hadn't had a chance to use the money

A gunman fired his semi-automatic rifle at Jewish worshippers after walking through a Southern California synagogue's front entrance – a spot that religious leaders determined last year needed improved security.

The Chabad of Poway synagogue applied for a federal grant to install gates and more secure doors to better protect that area. The $150,000 was approved in September but only got awarded in late March.

"Obviously we did not have a chance to start using the funds yet," Rabbi Simcha Backman told The Associated Press.

Backman, who oversees security grants for the 207 Chabad institutions across California, declined to provide details on the planned security enhancements or to speculate whether they might have changed the outcome of Saturday's attack.

Backman said the synagogue north of San Diego is considering asking authorities to allow some of the money be used to hire security guards, which it doesn't have now.

After a gunman massacred 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last October, rabbis of California's Chabad organization, including at the Poway synagogue, began asking members who were trained law enforcement professionals to carry their weapons at services, Backman said.

The synagogue, whose doors were open Saturday to welcome worshippers, was built two decades ago with some security features such as video surveillance, but it started to beef up its measures in 2010. Records show the synagogue received a $75,000 grant that year for security systems and alarms, a security assessment and installation of 16 cameras, fencing and lighting.

The synagogue applied for another grant in May 2018, and it was approved in September. It took until March 22 for the state to release the funds.

It seems like a long time from the time they granted to the authorization," said Republican Sen. Brian Jones, whose district includes the synagogue. "I would like to find out if there's a way we can speed this up, can we remove some bureaucratic steps here to help these organizations get these improvements done quicker?"

New FEMA rules allow the grants to be spent on security guards, and state officials said recipients of past grants can seek a modification to use the money that way, which Backman said the synagogue is considering. He added that the synagogue will find the funds to hire security guards if the government does not fund them.

Backman said it often takes at least a year to complete the paperwork and necessary approvals, including state and federal officials signing off on any historical or environmental effects of the upgrades.

The security grant program is funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and administered in California by the state Office of Emergency Services.

While the synagogue got approval in September, a workshop on the required documents was not held until the end of October and the synagogue submitted its first documents in early February, Office of Emergency Services spokesman Brad Alexander said. The state then requested additional information before awarding the money.

With hate crimes against Jews and other religious and racial minorities growing, Gov. Gavin Newsom is backing a change in a similar state grant program that also would allow money to be spent on guards. He said institutions should decide whether those guards should be armed.
Poway synagogue Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who lost a finger in the shooting, has talked to Newsom, while the Chabad organization sent rabbis to Sacramento to push for funds to secure places of worship, Backman said.

Backman applauded Newsom's announcement Monday about budgeting $15 million to increase security for religious institutions and other vulnerable nonprofits. Last year, the program got $500,000.

Jewish-affiliated organizations in California received 79% of the 264 nonprofit security grants awarded under the federal and state programs since 2012. The remaining 21% went to institutions serving other faiths, hospitals, Planned Parenthood chapters, domestic violence shelters, museums and a university.

Houses of worship, like all institutions that are open to the public, face a balancing act in providing security while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere, said Jesus Villahermosa, a former law enforcement officer in Washington state who teaches classes nationwide on deterring and reacting to active shooters.

"All the mechanical security in the world isn't going to change that anyone in America can walk in to any place in America and open fire," he said. "It's difficult, because I don't think there is a perfect solution."

Even installing metal detectors merely makes those gathered there the initial potential target, he said.[/quote

Yahoo keeps trying to beat this story of the synagogue shooting into the minds of it's readers and it keeps getting ignored.
