Late last night, the Denver Police Department took into custody four suspects in the Metro Denver crime spree that began Tuesday evening that involved the shooting murder of Shmuli Silverberg z”l at Yeshiva Toras Chaim of Denver.
Seth James Lahorde, 21; Isaiah James Freeman, 18; Aiden Sides, 18; and Noah Loepp-Hall, 19, are being held for investigation of Burglary, First Degree Burglary. Felony Menacing, First Degree Auto Theft, First Degree Assault, and First Degree Murder.
Denver Police identified the remaining suspect and are working to locate him. His identity will be announced once he is in custody.
The police stated the following: “At this time in the investigation, it appears that the victims were targeted at random. Therefore, the homicide near the Yeshiva Toras Chaim does not appear to be bias-motivated. However, if evidence is discovered that it was, the Denver Police Department will work with the Denver District Attorney’s Office on adding appropnate charges.”
“We continue to send our condolences to those who were impacted by these ternble crimes,” said Chief Paul M. Pazen. ..The suspects were taken into custody after Denver Police investigators. members of our Crime Lab, the Denver Distnct Attorney’s Office, and local and federal partners worked tirelessly during the past 36 hours to identify and arrest these suspects. Violence will not be tolerated in Denver.”
At this time, the probable cause statements are sealed, and the booking photos are being held for pending lineups.

Just another proof that the so-called hate-crime laws are never applied to benefit the Jewish community in a meaningful way, while being very generously applied to benefit the socialist-fascist approved-groups. Therefore, these so-called hate-crime laws are just another tool of the socialist-fascist tyranny, and should be repealed.

I think we should do all our hishtadlus in pushing for common sense gun laws such as the background checks.
1:35, because murderers would never break a law and buy a gun from their local drug dealer, who would never get guns imported together with drugs?! Did you try drinking bleach for the hole in your head?
