The story sucks.
What's worse, the more airtime the story gets, the more nuances it loses.
If you haven't heard, lemme tell you what happened, but first, I want to take a moment to reflect on how Jews enjoyed spending an evening chock full of Nazis in New York City last night.
NY was actually safe for Jewshttps://t.co/ImV9mLCCGk

Just to sort of set the contrast.
Now, let's head to a quiet Chicago neighborhood and some pretty dramatic Ring video. The woman whose voice you hear IN the audio is asking a person standing right in line with her left porch column. I never saw him until I watched this on my big 'puter monitor - could not for the life of me figure out who she was talking to. It turns out he's some poor fellow who was just walking his dog when all this blew up around him.
There are ambulances, gunfire, and what has been described as a shouted "Allahu Ackbar" (at :45 into it) as chaos erupts.
The cretin doing the shouting had popped out of nowhere behind a Jewish man on his way to a nearby synagogue and shot him in the shoulder. The police have just arrived to respond to the call.

The assailant was still hiding in the area and apparently feeling pretty froggy because he yelled his Islamic war cry and then opened fire on them. A gunfight ensued.
...Abdallahi was arrested at 10 a.m. Saturday in the 6800 block of North Washtenaw, less than 30 minutes after the 39-year-old man was shot in the 2600 block of West Farwell in the city's West Ridge neighborhood, police said.
In the earlier shooting, police said a gunman emerged from behind and shot the victim in the shoulder. After police officers and fire personnel responded to the area, the possible suspect came out of an alley and began firing at officers and paramedics, police stated. The suspect emerged from "various locations" over the following two and a half minutes and exchanged gunshots with Chicago police officers, authorities said.
Officers returning fire struck Abdallahi multiple times. No officers or firefighters were hurt in the shooting, but Abdallahi was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The 39-year-old man wounded in the initial shooting was also taken to an area hospital, and was treated and released as of Saturday afternoon.Check that suspect;name out.
Check that suspect's name out.
Ah. Well. There's a story there.
Breaking: The gunman in the shooting of the Orthodox Jewish man in Chicago is an illegal immigrant from northwest Africa. He crossed our southern border a year and a half ago.

It's a sanctuary city, after all, right? Oh, and "Jew attacked" by a Muslim later heard screaming those well-known words, but...you'd never know it.
Just amazingly bad journalism.

No mention of the fact that the initial victim was a visibly Jewish man walking to Synagogue. No mention of the video of the suspect shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he was firing at emergency services. https://t.co/MuxsnVVsXA
It's not currently being treated as a 'hate' crime, although the FBI is looking into it. Not sure if they've got all the elements they need, you know- Orthodox Jew (so obvious he was Jewish), known Jewish neighborhood, walking to neighborhood synagogue.
...Neighbors in the area were left wondering why the shooting happened.
"Why didn't the shooter walk to other people?" Trachtman said. "It seemed like he waited. [He didn't say], 'Give me your money' or anything. He just went up and started shooting at this Jewish guy."
Yeah. North African illegal with a gun and Allahu Tourette's Syndrome, probably just randomly there.
Globalize the intifada in action:

An assailant in a Chicago suburb shot a Jewish man walking to Synagogue. The assailant then also also fired shots at police and an ambulance while shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

Probably. He's from North Africa, afterall.
Breaking: Chicago police are not currently charging a man who yelled “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire at a Jewish man while he was walking to synagogue.

Mohamed Abdallahi faces 14 felony counts, none of which include a hate crime. Not sure how this isn’t a hate-fueled attack. pic.twitter.com/BR46cFDcEg
I'm sure someone will say he no speaka da lingo so it's not his fault.
The 'critically injured' assailant is also not identified by the Tribune as one of Kamala Harris's border jumpers.
I wonder why.
the Chicago police privately confirmed that a Muslim terrorist shouted "Allahu Akbar" while firing at police officers

not one single media outlet will report on a terrorist attack before Election Day
Not One https://t.co/cgKDkMo8aZ
Then there's local suspicion the Palestinian-cause-loving mayor isn't doing anything to help information become available about the suspect or his origins, either. The stonewall is on.
I love that this illegal Abadi-whatever his name was, had a gun. That doesn't seem to bother anyone in charge. But Kamala wants yours.
Well...she did last week.
Holy Sht!!!! Kamala now says she will protect our gun rights and Trump will take away 2nd Amendment rights.

I think the contrast couldn't be clearer.
Every American has a right to walk the streets in safety. No American should ever have to fear of being stalked because of their race, or religion or what they wear.

This unhinged tribalism in all its facets is what America was founded to repudiate and has done so brilliantly for centuries.
And yet this is what Democrats and their radical progressive elites have encouraged. This is what they have grown in their own ranks and brought across our sovereign border by the millions to prey on their fellow citizens. Their media toadies work to hide the cost, but it won't be hidden any longer.
God willing, in a week, it's going to cost them their power trip, and we can start planning how we'll clean these dregs up.
