Synagogue Shooter Robert Bowers And The Trump Connection: What We Know So Far

He blamed Jews for helping migrant caravans

On his Gab.com account, Bowers claimed Jews were helping transport members of the migrant caravans. He shared a video that another Gab.com user posted, purportedly of a Jewish refugee advocacy group HIAS on the US-Mexico border. Another post that Bowers commented on described HIAS' overall efforts as "sugar-coated evil."

Seventeen days before the attack, Bowers posted a web page from HIAS that listed a number of Shabbats that were being held on behalf of refugees, an official said. On that list was a Shabbat address that is less than a mile away from the Tree of Life Synagogue. (The chief executive officer of HIAS, Mark Hetfield, said Bowers is not known to the group.)

He called those in migrant caravans 'invaders'

According to his posts, Bowers believed that those in the migrant caravans were violent because they were attempting to leave countries that had high levels of violence. And Bowers repeatedly called them "invaders" on his Gab posts. "I have noticed a change in people saying 'illegals' that now say 'invaders'," read one post, six days before the shooting. "I like this."

A law enforcement source confirmed to CNN that investigators believe the social media postings belong to Bowers and that the language on his account matches the suspected motivation behind the shootings.

OP ED:

Some people will say that it is the times we live and that Trump is the main catalyst for why these treasonous terrorists exist. Like Hitler, Trump unearthed a maniacal hatred and paranoia that has existed in the hearts of righties for centuries.  General Eisenhower understood this so during the occupation at the end of WW-2 and for sake of future generations he had millions of Nazis in France and Germany executed. 

A Nazi's main intent is to exterminate anyone who is not White and Christian. They make no bones about it. There very existence is hate speech with the intention of fulfilling their goals to a Whites only world. It becomes much more than what they believe. It really is what they are. They are the dangerous feral dogs that were not culled from the pack by man. Evil is in their DNA. Even if you don't agree with me and would like to believe they are merely misguided or a product of nurture, will you still justify their existence knowing that their reason for existence is to exterminate all non whites? When a cop shoots an unmedicated crazy man with a knife that cop has no choice and you would not condemn his actions? If Antifa starts preemptively executing Nazis you would be hypocritical to condemn their actions.
