By Matt Zapotosky Matt Zapotosky National security reporter covering the Justice Department Email Bio Follow May 9 at 3:12 PM The 19-year-old accused of opening fire in a synagogue near San Diego last month, killing one and injuring three others, was charged Thursday with 109 federal hate crimes and civil rights violations — making it possible for him to face the death penalty, authorities said.
“This federal complaint alleges that these crimes were explicitly motivated by hatred toward the Jewish and Muslim communities,” U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer said at a news conference to announce the charges. “Our actions today are inspired by our desire to achieve justice for all of the victims and their families,” Brewer said. He said the federal and state cases will proceed at the same time, and Earnest is expected to appear in federal court next week.
The attack on the Chabad of Poway came on the last day of Passover, a major Jewish holiday, and six months after the massacre at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, where a shooter killed 11 and injured six others.
Again, stupid media gives shooter publicity: publishes face&name. Idiots! When will you learn that increase in SchoolShootings & HateCrimes partly due to press you give criminals?!?! POTUS needs executive order to punish this. It’s like shouting “fire” in a theatre! 2A MAGA

Suspect in synagogue shooting charged with federal hate crimes and civil rights violations? Jewish on Jewish? If the suspect does not regularly attend synagogue, what would make him so angry at the congregants there? But is it hate + civil rights violation if it's Jew-on-Jew?
This is what a Christian terrorist looks like.
...but not terrorism. Got it.
