Historically, Passover is one of those times of year when for centuries Jews have been subject to attack and murder. For more about why, check out the Wikipedia article on the “ritual blood libel” — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel
Yesterday’s killings in Kansas City of three Christians who were at the wrong place at the wrong time, e.g., a Jewish Community Center and a Jewish retirement village, by Frazier Glenn Cross, a white supremacist and former KKK leader, are all the more insane. Two of those killed, Dr. William Lewis Corporon and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, were going to the Jewish Community Center so Reat could try out to sing in a production of the play To Kill a Mockingbird.
For around the last 20 years, Cross has been using a P.O. Box in Sioux City, Iowa, while also bouncing around from South Sioux City, Nebraska; Angier, North Carolina; and finally in Aurora, Missouri. In 2003 a woman reportedly used his social security number in Henderson, Nevada, but it might simply be attributable to a typographical error.
The Opposite
My Passover Seder on the other hand was the opposite of the weird little white supremacist world that Cross wants to live in:

About Jan Tucker
The Detectives Diary is an innovative tool combining Private Investigation and Journalism. In 1984, Steve Harvey's Los Angeles Times "Around the Southland" Column entitled Jan Tucker's program of providing low-cost "Opposition Research" services to indigent and working class candidates for public office, "Take Cover: Hired Mudslinger Rides into Town." A 1996 Los Angeles Times article by Henry Chu carried a sub-headline identifying Tucker as a "P.R. Guru." In November 2012, Tucker became Criminal Justice Columnist for Counter Punch Magazine and a commentator for Black Talk Radio.
As a private investigator since 1979 and a former First Vice President of Newspaper Guild Local 69, Tucker takes these skills to a new level in the pages of the Detectives Diary with insightful and unique exposures and analysis of history and current events.
