Pittsburgh shooting victim Rose Mallinger did not survive the Holocaust. The Sun and multiple other media outlets falsely claimed that the 97-year-old survived the Holocaust which occurred during World War II.
The New York Times correctly reports that Mallinger was alive during the Holocaust yet she did not survive the horrific genocide. Mallinger was the oldest of the 11 victims murdered by Robert Bowers.
The following tweet sums up my feelings about Mallinger’s death. She lived a long life and it all ended because Robert Bowers decided to take his anger out on innocent individuals who didn’t deserve to die.
Looking at the list of Tree of Life victims and stuck on Rose Mallinger, 97. Reminded me of seeing Susie Jackson, 87 on the list of the Charleston victims. You live over 8 or 9 decades in America, doing the best you can, only to be shot down by a coward in your place of worship.

The nation was recovering from the pipe bombs sent by Cesar Sayoc and now we’re dealing with another mass shooting. The following tweet shows that many are blaming President Donald Trump for the recent tragedies:
we just suffered terrorist attack by Trump fanatic and mass murder by anti-Semitic white supremacist 1/2
Trump/GOP on defensive over incendiary rhetoric appealing to people like Sayoc and Bowers
