Will Corporon issued a statement saying his father, Dr. William Lewis Corporan, and nephew, Reat Griffin Underwood, were killed in Sunday’s attack outside a Jewish community center in Overland Park.
The family is Christian.
Authorities haven’t released the name of a woman or girl who was killed minutes later in an attack at a Jewish retirement community a few blocks away.
Police arrested a man in his 70s after the shootings. They haven’t released his name but have said they don’t think he knew the victims.
Police have declined to say if they think the attack was motivated by anti-Semitism.
What a tragedy!
What a tragedy. Even worse that two goyim were killed in al Kiddush hashem in the mistaken belief they were yidden. Hashem yarachem on the family.
You can be certain that the mamzer who killed this man and his grandson thought they were Jewish since they were at a Jewish community center. It’s still a hate crime.
Police have declined to say if they think the attack was motivated by anti-Semitism.
Why would anyone think the attack was motivated by anti-Semitism? Huh?
Hate has no boundaries. We can always expect that the formation of liberty is not always enough to fix the clandestine logic of a very regressive blackened society in an era of ballistic grievance and anticipated closure against the human development of blessing and true function of a better society. This world is continuing to show us daily that there is no true exception to the Rule of Law and that we must always strive for charity and more improved fraternal relations among men. It is a clear call that our job as yidden is not just to congregate amongst ourselves but also to form bridges with the closed views of the community and other developing societies in that we can indeed extend a helping hand and find fraternal hope in measured friendships among men in the non-jewish world. The more contact that the non-Jewish world has with those of us in the Torah community, the more likely that we are able to have bridges instead of conspiracy concerns and more powerful distinctions in the edge of a chasing limit on good hope and better fortune. Give to charity and keep your neighbor in your prayers.
“Police have declined to say if it was antisemitism ” who are they fooling?
Interesting the fellow was taken alive. I am looking forward to a speedy trial.
As this happened, two Yidden it seems were shot by Arabs on the way to a Seder in Hevron. May Hashem Protect all His People Israel.
