John covers the basics of the two (2) terrorist attacks that took place today in America: one at a Michigan synagogue/school and the second at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. I do want to make one point about alleged motive. We all know what the motive was.
The New York Post headline on the Michigan attack,
Would-be Michigan car bomber rammed explosives-laden truck into Temple Israel preschool — before security guards shot him dead.
The Post reports,
An armed wannabe car bomber plowed a vehicle loaded with explosives into the preschool of a Michigan synagogue Thursday in a “targeted attack on the Jewish community,” investigators said.
“Targeted attack” “Jewish community” Got it. Luckily,
All students and staff were evacuated to safety but one security guard was injured in the antisemitic attack.
“Antisemitic attack.” Well, obviously. But later, the Post writes,
The FBI, which is leading the probe, classified the incident as a “targeted attack on the Jewish community” but did not provide information on the driver or a motive.
Umm, no motive? What does the word “motive” mean? Merriam-Webster tells me,
something (such as a need or desire) that causes a person to act
What am I missing here? What isn’t obvious?
Elsewhere, the Post identifies the perpetrator,
The maniac who drove a vehicle full of explosives through a preschool at a Michigan synagogue in an antisemitic attack Thursday has been identified as a naturalized US citizen from Lebanon, federal officials announced.
The wannabe car bomber, who died after smashing through the doors of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, was ID’d as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, the Department of Homeland Security told The Post.
Just call him “Michigan Man.”
