another victory for Bannon and his alt-right band of bigots and racists
we saw this many attacks on Muslims and Jews before Trump racism spread like cancer, what's the big deal?
MERCER ISLAND, Wash. - The Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island was evacuated after a bomb threat was called in Monday evening, according to Mercer Island Police.
Police were called to the community center around 4:45 p.m. after a staff member received the threat over the phone. "I just came to pick up my daughter and it was very scary, and this is uncalled for," said Cecilia Yeung, who still appeared shaken as she walked her child to their car.
Staff members immediately began evacuating the building. Officers said about 250 people were inside at the time, many of them children. "We were just told, hey, it's time to evacuate, we got to get all the kids out," said Kristin Mannari, a teacher at the community center. Everyone was safely evacuated. The nearby French-American school was also evacuated as a precaution and neighbors were notified.
"We were actually kind of wondering when it was going to happen to us because so many other Jewish community centers in the nation have been receiving these types of threats," said Mercer Island Police Cmdr. Leslie Burns.
