Tree of Life shooter found guilty of killing 11 Jews worshipping at Pittsburgh Synagogue

The coward accused of shooting and killing 11 unarmed Jewish worshippers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh on October 27, 2018 was found guilty on Friday on all 63 criminal counts he faced. The counts included hate crimes resulting in death, along with obstruction of the free exercise of religion, resulting in death. 

Sadly for him, and not so sadly for good people, prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for this human garbage.

On that day in 2018, the shooter entered the Pittsburgh synagogue and began firing an AR-15 rifle and other guns. Defense argued with the prosecution over the motive of the 50-year-old POS, but the cowardly shooter was very clear in his statement that he was there to kill Jews when he said, "all these Jews need to die," the prosecutor said in her closing statement.

Prosecutor Mary Hahn in her closing argument told the jury that the shooter targeted Jews because of their religion and she pointed out the long trail of white supremacist and anti-Semitic comments he made online.

Five police officers and two civilians were also wounded in the attack.

The defense tried to convince the jury that the scumwafer wasn't trying to keep Jews from practicing Judaism, part of the crimes he was charged with, but was instead acting on a delusional belief that he had to attack the Jewish congregants because of their support of a Jewish humanitarian group that resettles refugees, which the shooter viewed as invaders. However, defense never mentioned that actual invaders at our southern borders so the jury didn't believe the defense's argument.

Two hours before the shooter burst into the Tree of Life Synagogue and opened fire during a Shabbat [Sabbath] service, he posted on the chat site Gab.com about the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, the New York Times has previously reported.

"HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I’m going in," a message attributed to the pile of pond scum whose name will not be mentioned here.

HIAS is a Maryland-based nonprofit that helps refugees around the world and is guided by Jewish values, according to the organization. They are unlike the Mexican drug cartels who help illegal aliens come into the country and receive taxpayer-funded benefits and are not really refugees for the most part.
