So the terrorist's AR15 jammed at that synagogue

and several persons stood up including an Iraq war vet and an off duty border patrol guy.
and the real hero is the lady who sacrificed her life to save the rabbi, Lori Kaye.

These are not lone wolves - they are members of white supremacist hate groups.= - aka fucking terrorists.

and offer condolences? It's getting pretty obvious that Trump is inspiring these murders and having Trump condemn his base of white Supremacists was probably a calculation to take the heat off him rather than any sincere concern for innocent people being murdered.

Mustn't forget the role of religion in these terrorist attacks.

This is about the New Zealand attack, but it fits here just as well, especially since Earnest said he took inspiration from Tarrant:

Christchurch attack: Why we should stop associating Islam with terrorism

Generally when a Muslim is the perpetrator of an attack, his race, origins, and religion make immediate headlines. In this case, one of the shooters, Brenton Tarrant, has not been referred to as a “white terrorist” or a “Christian terrorist”, even though his detailed 74-page manifesto has clear racial and religious references.

When the perpetrators of such terror attacks turn out to be Muslims, it becomes common among journalists and TV anchors to use terms like ‘Islamic terror’, ‘Islamic fundamentalism’ and ‘pan-Islamism’ and spend a lot of air time holding debates about the dangers of what many describe as an ‘Islamic Caliphate’. At times to sensationalise primetime shows, analysts espousing far-right views are given space to make insinuations about Muslims and immigrants.

With a pistol provided by Lori Kaye's husband.

Chabad House's are very orthodox, and very Conservative. Lori Kaye was a Trump supporter according to her close friends.

They face very real and constant threats from all varieties of anti-Semite scum due to their very obvious visual otherness. I have many family members that are Chabad-Lubavitch, and they are very Conservative on many issues, especially Second Amendment and that seemed to serve them well in this one.
