Shooter was screaming, “All Jews must die!”
There are reports the shooter is a Nazi named Robert Bowers.
He hates President Trump and believes Trump is controlled by the Jews.
Here is his archived Gab page.
Posts from the suspected Pittsburgh shooter Robert Bowers. He hated Trump and thought Trump was controlled by Jews. This monster is an unhinged anti-Semitic terrorist. pic.twitter.com/sjb2k6ucwb

Another post from Pittsburgh Synagogue shooter Robert Bowers. His profile clearly illustrates that he’s a Nazi, admired Hitler, hates Trump, believes Trump is controlled by Jews, he did not vote for Trump. That’s all I was able to archive before his profile was wiped. Sickening. pic.twitter.com/DPQfGuWDzY

Bowers wrote about “HIAS” on Gab before the shooting.
HIAS is a Jewish nonprofit that protects refugees.
France News 24 is naming Robert Bowers as the shooter.
It’s actually easier/more effective to mute words like “NSFW” or “Nazi,” or “white genocide” than to mute users like this guy. (They can change their names or simply add their comment to an innocuous one as part of a conversation, thus bypassing that filter.)
That being said, I have muted over 100 admitted nazi-sympathizers over at Gab.
By doing this active muting Gab is a fun and educational site.
Lots of professional photographers of animals and people, jewelry makers, cooks, pundits from every side of many issues.
The MSM and demokrats will be along in 1,2,3 to blame Trump for this too.
Hates Trump, anti-Semitic and uses murder to achieve his goals. Yep, we got ourselves a liberal here, folks.
@another vet: They are blaming guns and will later blame Trump for not taking everyone’s guns away from them 227 years ago.
@Deplorable Me: A White Nationalist anti-Semite who is a liberal?
LOL! What are you smoking?
@Hatikva:
YES. Where have you been?
