",.....treated as a hate crime..."
They're not whitwashing the anti-Semitic nature. And that's good.
The reporting here has been pretty pathetic. FR reports that the guy is a Paki, maybe an immigrant, from Pasco WA. There is a mosque there (middle of the desert). Someone also said one of the 9/11 bombers came from a small mosque in the sticks near San Diego. Coincidence? Recall there was a cell broken up in central Oregon a couple years ago. Jackrabbits and terrorists. Go figure.
Stay safe, friends.
