It is definitely a religious hate crime. The suspect needs to have the book thrown at him.

How do you know? Simply because it was the first night of Passover? You’d need more evidence than that.

The timing of the attack, the religion of the governor and his family... it's circumstantial. The suspect isn't stupid, he chose that day for a reason.

And you know that for a fact? That he chose that day for that reason.

100%. The fact that it happened during Passover like this makes it obvious.

Anyone who claims that this isn't an antisemitic hate crime is someone who should never be paid attention to, about anything, ever again.

And this really isn't a difficult argument to make. I mentioned this to several conservative-leaning friends of mine at work, and they quickly accepted it. (They had read about the incident, but they hadn't realized that the Governor of PA is Jewish.)

That's most likely but from what I saw from images in social media, he hated democrats, he hated maga, he liked libertarian and gun memes and had a history of violent threats with images in which he throttled guns in a menacing way. The state of Pennsylvania had seized his house which also might have been the cause.
