    Headline:

    Arson is suspected

    Article:

    Authorities say an unknown male suspect sprayed what they described as a possible accelerant on the office door, set it on fire and fled. They said the suspect remained at large and no motive had been established.

    “A significant fire engulfed the door and part of the vestibule, impeding the egress of staff members who were working in the office and endangering their lives,” Burlington police said in a statement. “The sprinkler system then engaged and largely extinguished the fire.”

    That’s absolutely arson, and almost assuredly a couple counts of attempted murder…

      Likely, however, Zionists also don’t like him right now. A high-profile popular Jewish politician speaking out against Israel’s actions in Gaza? Yeah, there’s a lot of high emotions there and he’s probably made some more crazy enemies. Right now, I’m 50/50 on which one of these two it might be.

        The timing is what made me lean toward a zionist, since it comes directly on the heels of him telling Netanyahu to quit murdering innocent people. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a MAGAt, but I haven’t seen anything outside of what he normally does that would’ve particularly triggered one of them.

      If it is, they’re gonna get a slap on the wrist like the January 6th insurrections. Once their attempted murder becomes political, they’re afraid to look tough on them out of fear of being called politically motivated, which is stupid.

      If anything, political motives for a crime should be far more harsh.

      I read on reddit that they police have to be absurdly cautious about ascribing motive before trial to the media. That it can break a case.

      But yeah we all know what the motive was.

      Yes lol. Do they hate that he’s Jewish? Or that he’s anti-Zionist? Or maybe they hate socialism? There’s a lot for shitty people to hate about Sanders

      When a democrat does it, it’s literally terrorism.

      But when a Republican does it, it’s just a small, isolated incident and barely warrants a charge.

      Just a lone wolf.

      One time thing.

      Never will happen again.

      One bad apple.

      How could we have known?
