Nope, it was a university run day care. It sounded only tangentially related to anything Jewish… that is why it stuck in my mind.
Also, the Jewish man who died was in battling protests and was arguing with a pro Palestinian protester (I suspect he was pushed, it is very vague). The Jewish man fell and hit his head and the man he’d been arguing with called 911 and tried to give aid. The man died in the hospital a few days later. Two old men (I think the victim was in his 70s and the guy charged was in his late 50s) arguing on a street corner falls short of a hate crime, in my opinion. Unlike the Arab 6-year old and his mother who were shot and a driver who swerved to hit an “Arab looking guy” walking around a college campus. There may have been a guy who got beat up trying to protect a guy (Jewish) who had been yelling at pro-Palestinian men who turned it into a fight. Also hard to see that as a hate crime per se. I’m just saying, it’s terrible, but it is isolated. And it’s mostly words.
As for the first point, my point is it is the same phenomenon of “my in group guy was hurt so I’m in danger”. That doesn’t mean you are actually unsafe. I’m not saying everyone is safe, because people are out of their minds these days… I was suggesting it was a better analogy. It’s obviously not the same.
