I just heard a report on NPR Morning Edition that the regular weekly
march was held Sunday and that they were joined by members of a branch
from Denver. There was also an already-scheduled Jewish cultural
festival that took on a more somber note. A rabbi read out the names of
those injured. They marched right to the place of the firebombing.

There were police snipers on roofs. I think that would have bothered me
and I don't see how a sniper is a countermeasure to a firebombing attack
if there was concern for a copycat crime.
