On-topic: Hatred leading to violence

[luzribeiro]

Seems like we’re back to the 9-11 mentality in the US hating Muslims:

Chicago area landlord accused of killing boy, 6, stabbing woman because they were Muslim

I'm scared to say I wouldn't be surprised if more attacks like this happen in the coming weeks and months.

The surname Czuba is Polish. During WW2, there were many Polish Jews identified with that same surname. Not a stretch to consider the possibility that he may have lost family members in Nazi death camps. Not an excuse for his own horrific actions. Just a possible connection/motivation.

Seems like a mixed deal going on really. In one article I read it said the dude had actually built a tree house for the kid, but then there's this: in texts to the boy’s father from the hospital after the attack, Shahin said the landlord “knocked on their door, and when she opened, he tried to choke her and proceeded to attack her with a knife, yelling, ‘you Muslims must die,’” according to the CAIR statement. So idk maybe msm got the best of him:

Eh, we never really left the 9/11 mentality of hating Muslims. People just calmed down about their hatred for us because it wasn't as relevant anymore.

And the antipathy was being inculcated long before the crimes of that day, too. So...

Almost sounds like a schizophrenic running out of meds

He was making anti Palestinian and anti Muslim statements. This child's blood is on the media cheering on genocide and demonizing Palestinians.
