Local Jew in Detroit here. Woll was my friends' cousin. Another friend was in elementary school with her at Hillel.
People are shook up and scared. People aren't sure if this is the crest of a wave of antisemitic violence, or something more senseless.
My 3 kids are half Jewish through my ex wife. I hear you and I had a chat with them this morning about this. Although I'm in Toronto, Canada the same bigots are here and have been empowered by the same vitriolic rhetoric floating around.
I told them that hate is hate and if they hear it directed specifically at them or a Muslim in their school (friends with Iranians) for them to report to the teachers and to me. Hate will not be tolerated.
Please stay safe.
My daughter is also half-Jewish (I'm Jewish, my wife is not). I'm always worried about her getting bullied in school for it. I tell her to never tell anyone.
One of her elementary school teachers just assumed she was Jewish because I look stereotypically Jewish and treated her differently because of it.
I hear you and as a parent it's so sad knowing a child is being told to hide their identity.
Hugs from afar. There are many of us non-Jews out there that don't condone this bullshit.
Stay safe.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Just in general, antisemitic hate crimes have been disproportionate for a pretty long time, regardless of the situation in Gaza.
May her memory be a blessing.
Those who spread lies and disinformation are responsible for this death. The Jew hate needs to stop. This woman was American, not Israeli.
Would that be better? If some Israeli Jew living in the US had been stabbed?
Why does the better alternative in your world have someone being stabbed?
A better option to me is nobody gets hurt that isn't involved in the conflict.
I think they're pointing out that it sounds like by saying "she was American, not Israeli" that you think it would have somehow been less awful if she was Israeli.
I believe that person was tying this act to anti-Semitism on the rise worldwide, and drawing attention to the fact that this person has nothing to do with the current crisis.
Indeed
At this time, the motive for the crime remains unknown.
Unknown? Clearly this prominent Jewish community leader in Detroit was viciously stabbed to death for her playstation, there was no other reason possible.
Among any number of other potential motives. There's a definite hierarchy of probability but random blind assertions in public are not how you build an actual fucking criminal case.
You missed the most obvious one: most women are murdered by men they know, and largely by current or former intimate partners. Especially since
[Police] found a trail of blood leading to her house, where they believe the crime occurred.
Thank you. Also worth noting is that this is Detroit, so, while death is always tragic, it's not unheard of in the city.
You can't make any assumptions in these situations. If police are known for anything, it's being level-headed and unbiased.
LMAO
How do you make a 911 call to someone’s home?
The article has been revised to clarify for you
Authorities said a 911 caller early Saturday reported a person lying on the ground unresponsive at Woll’s home.
Know what street you're on, see the house numbers on the mailbox, dial 911, say "hey yes it seems someone is injured outside [ADDRESS], I noticed while walking/driving by."
Seems easy enough to me.
It's just ackward phrasing
Taking down the article as to without a word why. lWhy would you do that and run away without an explanation ? leave it up as the investigation continues. Ihttps://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2023/10/22/police-investigation-jewish-leader-samantha-woll-slaying-vigil/71282542007/ you coward .
