"Ohio Man" Arrested in Toledo Synagogue Shooting Plot
Quote | Reply
I think he was a Lutheran angry about something or other to do with Israel or the like.

"The FBI on Monday announced the arrest of a 21-year-old Ohio man on terrorism charges for allegedly plotting to attack two synagogues in the US city of Toledo, Ohio. He has been charged with one count of attempting to provide material support for the Islamic State terror group.

According to the Department of Justice, Damon M. Joseph was arrested on Friday after purchasing 2 AR-15 rifles and talking of killing many people, including a rabbi."

....

"Earlier in December, Joseph told an undercover FBI agent that he was identifying synagogues in the Toldeo area to carry out a mass shooting attack in the name of the Islamic State. He told the undercover agent that Jews were evil, and that the Tree of Life Synagogue victims “got what was coming to them.”

Be interesting to see how he was radicalized. What butterfly flapped it's wings such that he ended up going Islamic State direction rather than Neo-Nazi.

Too bad there are no butterflies that could have made him go into the Peace Corps or something. What's the allure with all these radical groups, and especially the virulently anti-Israel/anti-Jew ones?

You don't get famous by joining the Peace Corps.

I’d guess, based on his mugshot, because he lost his razor.

From very personal experiences I know your quip about being Lutheran is fake news. Alcohol isn’t mentioned as a contributing factor.

From everything I've heard about the guys who joins these groups is that it's basically the same phenomenon as why kids join gangs with the added bonus that you get an ideology that explains who is at fault for your life sucking.
