    I had to verify that this is a real story because of how batshit insane it is, and, well, yes, apparently it is. :(

    The married, 27-year-old Collins Avenue condominium owner gave “plumber” as his occupation to arresting officers

    Not only is he a racist asshole, and murderous asshole, but he’s also a landlord, hence, triple asshole.

    The only saving grace here was this chucklefuck was as bad at killing people as he is at basic common sense and decency. The guy is literally a storm trooper.

      Per the article you linked to:

      Dustin Tischler, Brafman’s attorney, said in a statement to the Herald on Monday night that his client “was experiencing a severe mental health emergency” when he opened fire.

      Maybe don’t rush to judgment so much? Wait for more information.

        What the hell? What mental health emergency explains wanting to kill two people based on their perceived race?

                Please rethink that career path.

                Every defense lawyer in a shooting case is going to claim mental duress in a shooting.

                People who commit racially motivated crimes don’t get the benefit of the doubt.

                Does this man have a history of mental health problems? Are they under the care and supervision of a mental health provider? Are they taking anti psychotic meds?

                If any of those statements are true, what were they doing in possession of a firearm in the first place?

                  All those questions deserve proper investigation. I was not excusing this man from his crimes, merely pointing out his lawyer was claiming he’d had a mental health crisis and that they should be investigated.

                  And I’m a pretty damn good therapist so I think I’m gonna keep it up. Maybe you should just go fuck yourself?

      Moments after being shot, the Israeli man who was the victim of the shooting took to social media and wrote, “My father and I went through a murder attempt against anti-semitic background.” He finished his social media post with the words, “Death to Arabs.”
