A young man who carried out a hate-motivated shooting at the Chabad of Poway that killed one woman and injured three other people was sentenced Thursday to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
John Timothy Earnest, 22, pleaded guilty July 20 in San Diego Superior Court to murder and attempted murder charges for the April 27, 2019, shooting. He also pleaded guilty to an arson charge for setting fire to the Dar-ul-Arqam Mosque in Escondido on March 24, 2019.
He killed 60-year-old Lori Kaye and wounded three others.
As part of the plea deal, Earnest avoided the death penalty.
In an online open letter discovered shortly before the shooting, Earnest espoused flagrant anti-Semitic sentiments, a need to protect the “European race,” and wrote, “I can only kill so many Jews” and “I only wish I killed more.”
Under the terms of his plea deal, he was sentenced to life without parole, plus an additional 137 years to life.

Life In Prison Without Parole Nowhere near harsh enough for the heinous crime he committed.
He needs to be placed on a birch 24/7/365, and caned none stop every awake & sleeping minute of the rest of his life, 24/7/365, and not fed anything other than stale bread & acrid water, for the rest of his life.
that and much worse will be done to that lowlife when his despicable life will eventually come to an end. For now, the US system needs to make sure he never harms anyone else again, and perhaps we should learn the need for proactive surveillance of similar lowlife / losers / sickos out there.
