More on Shooting Death of Denmark Shul (Unarmed) Security Guard
Yeshiva World ^ | Sunday, February 15th, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 02/15/2015 8:29:28 AM PST by jonatron

A shul security guard was shot and killed in Copenhagen while a bas mitzvah was taking place inside. At least three policemen were injured by gunfire. The attack occurred shortly after midnight on motzei Shabbos Parshas Mishpatim. The Israel Foreign Ministry named the Jewish victim as Dan Uzan, 37, whose father is Israeli and mother is Danish. He was a volunteer guard at the shul.

Police believe the same person perpetrated both attack, referring to the earlier shooting in the Arts Café in which one person were killed and three policemen wounded. The earlier hosted in the Arts Café was called “Art Blasphemy & Freedom of Expression...---snip---"

According to local media reports, masked gunmen opened fire at the Arts Café Cultural Center shortly after 15:30 on Saturday afternoon. An estimated 30 shots were fired from automatic weapons immediately after Ambassador Zimeray completed his remarks.

The shooter is described as a male with an athletic build, 25-30, with an Arabic appearance.

----snip----

Rabbi Margolin emphasized that “unfortunately, the Danish government, like other governments across the continent, has not yet implemented the need to secure all Jewish institutions 24/7”. “It is only because of the earlier shooting that took place in the Copenhagen cafe that police sent several officers to the synagogue, and they were able to return fire and chase the shooter,” he added. “But the fact is that prior to the earlier incident, there were no police in the synagogue, and the unarmed security guard could have not prevented the terrorist from entering the synagogue and causing even more deaths,” he concluded.

You are TARGET if you stand unarmed, in uniform, in plain sight.

A “Security Guard” is armed with a first line of defense in front of him.

Time to stand up to them! They are p***ssies, and run crying at the slightest resistance!

News: "Danish media are saying that four people have been arrested at the internet cafe - including a Pakistani and an Arab".

Sounds like an organized attack.

“Oxymoron: Unarmed “Security Guard”

Exactly. An unarmed security guard is just another barmitzvah guest.

“It is entirely legitimate for the American people to be deeply concerned when you’ve got a bunch of violent, vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks at a Bas Mitzvah in Copenhagen.”

The way I read it was the “security guard” was a volunteer from the congregation and had no security training. He was just another unarmed citizen wearing a target.

The left will use the Copenhagen shootings as the catalyst to call for a ban on smokeless tobacco.

Around here it seems to be spelled and pronounced bat mitzvah not bas mitzvah. Been to enough of them to be pretty sure about it.
Seems theres some variation.

‘Bas mitzvah’ would generally identify one as from a more traditional Ashkenaz background where Yiddish was likely spoken at least at one time in the past.

‘Bat’ would indicate being more comfortable with modern Hebrew, or perhaps from a Sefardi background.

The same breakout is sometimes evident in pronouncing something as common as Yis-rah-AYL vs. Yis-ROH-ul for Israel.

Where I am is San Francisco, so the local Jews seem to be mainly Ashkenazi US types here for many generations, with a fair sprinkling of new immigrant Israelis.

San Francisco is noted for having very few orthodox Jews, so the preference for ‘bat’ likely is a statement about being more comfortable with the modernity of modern Hebrew.
