    People at the community park near Chabad synagogue in Poway held candles and listened to prayer in Hebrew. Leaders asked community members to do acts of kindness to remember Lori Kaye, 60, a longtime member of the synagogue who was killed in Saturday’s attack.

    Mayor Steve Vaus said he would stand with the community, and Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was shot in the attack, said seeing the crowd come together provided consolation.

    “What happened to us, happened to all of us,” Goldstein said.

    There is no consolation until Moshiach comes and all haters watch the futility of their evil deeds as techiyas hameisim takes place. Justice must be swift and sure, because all the nice words will not defeat the rot that occupies the minds of haters.

    High time for the USA government to make firearms illegal, and thus eradicate the 3000 annusl murders, and homicides, and learn from China where crime is virtually zero, due to the non existence of firearms, and the structure of law and order, where harsh punishment is meted out for those few who wish to violate the law, and that is precisely why in China there will never be a 911, or acts of terrorism, since China has the capability to nab any and all potential criminals through their highly sophisticated artificial intelligence apparatus, country wide, and thus have a few million potential terrorists in reeducation camps.

    still waiting for condemnation from celebrities and ordinary americans for this atrocious act. the second the rapper was gunned down in cold blood, the internet unprecedently blew up.
    wait, jews were gunned down, so being that our blood is cheap and worthless, i will not hold my breath.
    so, on our end, i am waiting for an outcry, protests, demand for gun control at the least or demand for armed guards at our shuls and schools.
    since we are spineless and cowardly, lest we ruffle the wrong feathers, we do absolutely nothing. shame on us
