Possibly A Random Detroit Murder, But Possibly Not

Especially given the timing.

The Detroit Free Press: Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll found fatally stabbed outside her home

The police are being awfully quick to claim antisemitism wasn't involved:

The Detroit Free Press: Police: No evidence of hate crime in Jewish leader Samantha Woll's slaying

Mind you, there's no evidence that it was not such as of yet, and I hate to seem them go out of there way to sweep such under the rug if it is in fact related to what has been going on in Dearborn, and the Middle East lately.

We'll have to wait and see what develops.

I never met the deceased, but friends and acquaintances I know have, and they describe her as one of those truly warm, giving, and wonderful people, and both Detroit and the world is worse off for her loss.

Troubling!

It was a brutal act and it might be totally unrelated to the current tensions in the middle-east. After all, she lived in downtown Detroit.

We are cautioned to not blame the victim. And yet, part of me thinks that if she had been a bit less trusting and "out there" she might still be alive.

I regret her passing. And I will advise my children to not make some of the choices she made.

The police have no motive.......Yeah.

A WELL KNOWN Jewish woman was STABBED to death. They do seem to be in a hurry to declare that it ias not a hate crime.

was she robbed?
Was she raped?
Was her house burglarized?

No one seems to know.

Seems just a little suspicious to me, given the large number of adherants to the "religion of peace" in the Detroit Metro area.

The police were "Not certain it is a homicide" for the first 12 hours.
