Report: Murder suspect listened to RW talk radio

———Snip

‘Prosecutors say a Chicago-area man had been listening to conservative talk radio about the Israel-Hamas war and became increasingly concerned about his Muslim tenants before he confronted them on Saturday, fatally stabbing a 6-year-old Palestinian boy and badly wounding his mother.

Joseph Czuba, 71. appeared in Will County court Monday morning in a red jumpsuit and with matted hair, two days after he allegedly confronted the boy’s mother, Hanaan Shahin, and killed her son, Wadea Al-Fayoume.’

With all the culture wars nonsense, I’d been thinking about Islamaphobia being on the back burner in this country. I see that’s changed.

R.I.P. to that little boy, hope the mother makes a recovery.

This is what their rhetoric begets.

and then there's killing a child. This guy strikes me as more than a little nutty.

Wadea will never get to celebrate life, he was snuffed out by hatred. Rest in Power Wadea, you were and are loved.


And to Joseph Czuba, enjoy the rest of your miserable life in jail. You let your hatred manifest into murdering innocent people. May you be blessed with the sights and sounds of your actions.
