The mother was gashed and gored up too, but she's expected to survive. I saw another photo of him holding a little American flag that kinda fucked me up (and nothing bothers me). Our politicians have a knack in modern times for all but declaring national mourning over people who, in all honesty, were actually shitbags and it's an absolute clown show. There's also a short history of nonsense hoax "hate crimes" that make a lot of people scoff at the very term.

It was their god damn 71-year-old landlord who lost his mind and did this. According to the father, the family had a great relationship with him prior to the Israel & Hamas war kicking off. He also mentioned this being the exact thing they were trying to flee when they came to America.
