While in custody, Brafman spontaneously told detectives that while he was driving his truck, “he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both”, arrest documents said.

Further complicating the incident, one of the injured men reportedly posted “death to the Arabs” in a message on social media after the shooting. “My father and I went through a murder attempt against antisemitic background,” he wrote.

“It is deeply ironic and telling that both the alleged pro-Israel perpetrator and the pro-Israel victim in the Miami Beach shooting reportedly hold racist anti-Palestinian views,” said Cair’s national executive director, Nihad Awad

It's Florida. It's always been stupid there.

This is a tragedy, but let’s look on the bright side: a murderous racist is (probably) going to jail.

And another pro-genocide racist got shot. Where's the tragedy?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

lol maybe I should have said potential tragedy. A decent human being might have been hurt.

that tensions are so high and bled into our environs insomuch that people are preventably wooled-over-eyes with racism and bigotry killing each other for nothing?

This isn't about tensions. The horrible people involved in this incident would have been horrible regardless of the political situation. They just have an excuse to make it acceptable at the moment.

This just makes no sense. He's not even trying to fake self defense, just "they looked Palestinian so I started shooting". What?!

Maybe he thinks hate crimes are about to be the next wave of pardonable offenses by the supreme cheeto.

The real messed up part is I'm not convinced it's impossible.

They’re Zionists, that’s all the justification they need.
