One dead in attack on a Denver Yeshiva
2021-08-20
Partially rewritten and condensed for fair use purposes.
[COLLIVE] A shooting incident in Denver, which killed a young Jewish man on Tuesday night, was originally reported as a drive-by shooting.

Local authorities said that that this was a "crime spree" that ended with the senseless murder of Shmuli Silverberg, 19.

But, according to highly-credible sources, as well as multiple social media reports surfacing online, this is not what happened.

The armed suspects entered the Yeshiva building. They fired at a school employee, who was able to get out of the way, and was unharmed.

The victim, Silverberg died inside the Yeshiva.

#8  I think it’s adorable, Skidmark. The thing about poetry is that in order to fit the rhyme and rhythm schemes, the poet must carefully ponder word choices. In the process, thoughts tend to become more crystalized than when just writing prose. Not always good or useful thoughts, to be sure, but it’s a slower process — more like sculpture than painting or drawing in the visual arts.

#7  Ah'm becoming concerned that a number of our comrades in arms are expressing traits of rhymmers.

#6  LeRoy says there's something you should know
Not everybody has a place to go
And home is just a place to hang your head
And dream of things to do in Denver when you're dead

No need. The fella who first objected to the incident being classified as an act of antisemitic terrorism, said he knew the people at the yeshiva well; he had conducted training for concealed carry permits, and had given talks on the subject.

It just happened to be that young man's unlucky day.

Sux.

Maybe senseless murder is just a thang in Denver?

#2  Why in non-WOT?

The original Facebook posting said it was a deliberate act by the suspects, but it later transpired that the shooting was part of a number of shootings spread out over a number of city blocks, starting in Wakandan country.
