Cops in Detroit are investigating after Samantha Woll, president of the Isaac Agree Synagogue and a prominent Democrat who campaigned for Attorney General Dana Nessel and Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, was found stabbed to death Saturday morning outside her home, the Free Press reports.
“I am shocked, saddened and horrified to learn of Sam’s brutal murder,” said Nessel in a statement. “Sam was as kind a person as I’ve ever known. She was driven by her sincere love of her community, state and country. Sam truly used her faith and activism to create a better place for everyone.”
Well goes without saying that this is some fucked up shit. It’s already horrible that a person of faith and a community leader gets murdered at age 40, it’s going to get considerably uglier if there was a religious or political motivation to it, particularly one tied to war in Israel and Gaza.
