Stabbing and shooting at 770 Eastern Parkway

I find this article in Hamodia "The Daily Newspaper of Torah Jewry" to be quite balanced:

In my mind, orthodox jews are connected enough to each other that they are affected by incidents against them throughout the world, and Crown Heights has been perceived as a relatively safe place to be.

This article furthers my perception.

@newguy88, that was my point. We only know what we know: he was bipolar and he went to kill Jews in a synagogue.  there was nothing to verify. it was a general profile about the attacker, his mental illness and his family/neighbors. similar reports were in all the papers. 

@sunnyfriday why do we need to pick symptoms or causes. Surely the correct way is to deal with both. this idea of taking sides about whether to address one or the other is a mistake. think about any problem you have successfully dealt with in your own life and you will find both were needed.
