Discussion: Florida Police: Rabbi's Killing Was Likely A Robbery, Not Hate Crime

Discussion for article #226234

'I hate having to shoot you"

makes it a non-hate crime…

Got it.

“Some mourners said they feared Raksin’s faith was a factor in the death, noting that those in the community should have known Orthodox Jews don’t carry wallets on the Sabbath. But police said the perpetrators might not have been aware of the practice.”

In hindsight, I can see how that is pretty obvious. But I wouldn’t have known it as a casual fact, available without thinking about it.

Highly doubt robbers would have had a clue. Sad story, but I don’t think it was about ethnicity. It was about Miami’s crime problem.
