The Infuriating Case of a Chicago Synagogue-Goer’s Shooting

Chicago’s handling of the shooting of a 38-year-old American Jewish man by a 22-year-old Mauritanian Muslim man has been just infuriating — nearly as infuriating as the Biden-Harris border policies that are responsible for the shooter’s illegal presence in our country.

The victim survived the attack. So did the police, who were also fired at by the shooter, Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi. In returning fire, police struck Abdallahi. He survived, was taken into custody, and has been hospitalized. Last night, after days of handwringing, the man was finally charged with a terrorist offense and a so-called hate crime.
