Crumpsall Synagogue Attack - two people confirmed dead, one inadvertently shot by police along with the suspect

[Resurrection Joe...]

Heaton Park borders Salford.

Heaton Park is actually a fair bit away,...top end Crumpsall, Cheetham Hill really....right on top of Broughton, which is Salford.

Fucking shit man.

Kids having to be on lockdown in school - somewhere that’s meant to be one of their safe places.

This is awful. My thoughts and prayers are with Manchesters Jewish community today.

The shutters went down at her school. She said the kids were crying because it went dark before they switched class lights on.

These are 5 year olds.

GMP confirm three other people remain in a serious condition as well as the two who died along with the attacker.

That's the part that makes me so angry. These people have no thought for the long lasting effects on our children. Disgusting and disgraceful.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Can't we please just sympathise with the people who are injured and the families of anyone who died and not drag other factors into it. Take them to the appropriate thread PLEASE. Just once let's have empathy. JMHO

Well said EB. A modicum of compassion shouldn't be too much to ask.

 

[Blue Maverick]

My sister has told me schools in the area are in lockdown. Kids are hiding under tables.

They were in Oldham including the hospitals.

As someone with Jewish family (dad’s side), it’s felt really unsafe the last few years. The amount of hate and blatant anti semitism towards innocent people has been through the roof.

We’ve had so many attacks in Manchester as well recently on innocent people (Jewish or other). What on earth is happening.

 

[abu13]

Some fucked up people over here now, thought go out to the Jewish community.

 

[Marklr]

I'm not shocked any more. The world is very unwell.
Sympathies for all those from that community.
Stop the hate.

 

[bert38]

a very difficult situation still for the police and other emerency services-the police will need to evacuate the area and allow bomb disposal to deploy equipment to approach the suspect....

This has the potential to be a powder keg, people need to keep their emotions in check and take care with their comments.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Sounds like the security guard needs some posthumous award for their bravery ….actions have prevented tragedy on an even bigger scale.

I’m really struggling to comprehend how this can happen on our doorstep

Already know this incident and its causes will be used by parties for political gain.

All in all, this world feels a very fucked up place at the minute

The fact a synagogue or place of worship needs security in the first place is insane

People need to remember that these terrorists do NOT represent the community/religion they are from. Just like Israel does NOT represent Jews.

this is what was meaning earlier with bots going doing overtime on SM. already seeing loads of Immigrant blaming and trying to even say where they came from.

Right now the likes of Russia etc have a vested interest in whipping up trouble in European countries and its clear as day on SM that this is happening.

 

[domalino]

It is vile scum who do these kind of things.

The anti-Israeli sentiment across the population is well justified however. People are upset their kids have blinds pulled in vicinity but in Gaza an average of 28 kids are killed by Israel every day.

That doesn’t justify the attack, I’m glad the **** was shot. Nothing justifies attacks of terror and nothing justifies Israel’s actions which are thousands of magnitudes worse, hence the criticism they get.

The problem is that after so many years of equating criticism of Israel to anti-semitism, it seems like people looking to attack Israel now feel they can satisfy their bloodlust by targetting completely innocent Jewish people with no affiliation to Israel. It's a fucking awful situation we've ended up in and I can only imagine how terrifying it must be for British Jews to be targetted for the actions of a government you have nothing to do with.

God only knows how you break that link in the minds of future attackers, because you're not dealing with people of sound mind, and there's a lot of people with vested interests in promoting division and radicalisation, whether that's foreign powers, terror organisations or social media companies profiting from the "engagement".

X shareholders are making money off people viewing those videos circulating today and the millions of arguments that will follow on the platform.

Thoughts and love to the families and friends who have lost their loved ones. So sad for them and for our Jewish community. So sad for beautiful, diverse Manchester, where people of all religions and races live side by side together peacefully.

 

[mancityvstoke]

Why attack innocent people who have fuck all to do with attacks on Gaza?

I don't understand it?
