The shooting death of Johanna Justin-Jinich -- A Hate Crime?

The suspect in the shooting of a Wesleyan University student will be arraigned Friday morning after surrendering to police without incident Thursday evening in neighboring Meriden, authorities said. Police have arrested Stephen Morgan in the shooting death of Johanna Justin-Jinich. Police told the community and university on Thursday that Morgan might have been targeting Wesleyan University and the town's Jewish residents. "Evidence uncovered overnight suggests that Mr. Morgan may be focused on the Wesleyan community campus as well as the Jewish community," said Baldoni, who did not elaborate. A statement from the university alleged that Morgan had written threats against "Wesleyan and/or its Jewish students" in his personal journals.

  1. Albert Einstein was a jew, Sigmund Freud too. Some of the Greatest Writers, Intellectuals, Scientists, and in the History of Europe the Jews have been always Great Bankers, Art Dealers, Medicine Doctors, Jewellers, etc ...

    And "Western Civilization" is also called "Judeo Christianity", so it is extremely absurd to hate Jews and to consider them an "Inferior" race.

    The Decadence of Spain started by expulsing the Jews and the Moors, that were the most creative part of Spain around 1500 A. C.

    I studied under jews and learned German with Jews, also some Literature, Culture, History, etc ... and they were more than teachers, they were friends.

    Even the "Violinist on the roof" is a Jew.

    "Fiddler on the Roof" was originally entitled Tevye. It is based on "Tevye and his Daughters" (or "Tevye the Milkman") and other tales by Sholem Aleichem which he wrote in Yiddish and published in 1894.

    So I am very sad for this death of a Jewish Young Lady.

    To my Friend
    "Dee" from Texas
    She wrote this beautiful piece about Latina Mothers :

    Latina Mother's Day: Consider the Blessed Children! They are the Lilies of the Field!

    in her blog "Immigration Talk with a Mexican American"

    Dear Dee :

    The Latin American Culture is very Feminine as is apparent in your article.

    Catholic Religion in Latin America is extremely Feminine. The Virgin is always dressed in the richest attires with pearls, gold, silver, jewelry, brocados, velvet, etc ..

    And Christ is always in agony ( kneeling or in four legs ) with lots of bleeding wounds, after heavy flogging, and with a crown of thorns. The Humiliated Male.

    But we are here to honor feminine things and not to criticize and ridicule them.

    It is true that Latin America is machista, with guys that have several women and "natural" children ( out of wedlock ).

    But some people like me live inside a Comic "Bringing Up Father" or "Educando a Papá" and that is why that comic of George McManus has always been one of the most popular in Latin America.

    In that Irish-American Comic Women are the stronger. Your husband is Irish, you have told us that publicly, so you may know a little about the Irish. Perhaps you are a Maggie "Ramona" to your Jiggs "Pancho". Those are the characters of that comic.

    I consulted this website :

    http://home.comcast.net/~cjh5801a/Jiggs.htm

    Excerpts from the page of the "Bringing Up Father" Comic.

    According to McManus, he began an intermittent daily strip in November 1911 (though it may have been later, McManus seems to have had a problem with dates) that included some characters who eventually became Jiggs and Maggie, but it wasn't until January 2, 1913 that the strip formally became known as Bringing Up Father. And it wasn't until 1916 that the strip began appearing as a daily on a regular basis, with Sunday strips following on April 14, 1918.

    Bringing Up Father told the story of Irish-American Jiggs, a former bricklayer, and his wife Maggie, an ex-laundress, who achieved sudden wealth, supposedly by means of a lucky ticket in the Irish Sweepstakes (though McManus was a bit vague about their means of wealth in the strip, and the Irish Sweepstakes didn't come into being until 1930). While the snobbish Maggie and beautiful daughter Nora (referred to various times as Katy and Mamie in the strip's early days) constantly try to "bring up" Father to his new social position, Jiggs can think of nothing finer than sitting down at Dinty Moore's restaurant to finish off several dishes of corned beef and cabbage, followed by a night out with the boys from the old neighborhood. The clash of wills that ensued often resulted in flying rolling-pins, smashed crockery, and broken vases, all aimed in the general direction of Jiggs's skull.

    In creating Bringing Up Father, McManus was heavily inspired by his recollections of a touring production of The Rising Generation that he had seen performed several times as a youth when it had played at the Grand Opera House in St. Louis, where his father served as manager. The Rising Generation, a musical comedy written by popular librettist William Gill, told the story of Martin McShayne (played by comedian Billy Barry in the production witnessed by the young McManus), an Irish-American bricklayer who becomes wealthy as a successful contractor. As McManus remembered the play, McShayne's socially ambitious wife and daughter were ashamed of his uninhibited naturalness and couldn't abide his old pals, which forced McShayne to sneak out whenever he wanted to meet the boys for a game of poker.

    I identify myself very strongly with Jiggs "Pancho" and sometimes I feel like having a Maggie "Ramona" at home.

    But to tell you the true, I am happy and would never consider divorce. I am too lucky of having married a Great Latina Lady.

    Marriage is the Revenge of Women against Men -- But I like my condition. I would not like to be a lone sad dog walking the streets.

    Note : My comment is not 100% true. This is for entertainment. My Maggie may hit me if she finds that I wrote this.
