I wish it took me a moment.

That's a really great point.

Just rewatch the last season. That'll cure you.

I was thinking a nice golden throne. More appropriate for a god-emperor.

INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD officers arrested a woman, who they labeled a “terrorist,” after she drove her car into a building that she thought was a Jewish school.

However, the building is used by the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge which has been labeled and anti-semitic hate group.

Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, was arrested on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness. Mugshot of Ruba Almaghtheh, courtesy of IMPD.

According to a police report obtained by FOX59/CBS4, police were called to the building around 11:30 Friday night to investigate a hate crime. Officers said Almaghtheh backed her car into the building while several adults and children were inside.

Almaghtheh told officers she was watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war on television and decided to plan an attack on the building because she was offended by the “Hebrew Israelite” symbol on the front of the building.

Police said Almaghtheh passed by the building a couple times and called it the “Israel school.”

IMPD said she made reference to “her people back in Palestine” and told officers, “Yes. I did it on purpose.”

However, the Anti-Defamation League defines the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge as an “extreme and antisemitic” sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Black Hebrew Israelites as a hate group.

In a statement released Sunday night, the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis reported that Safe Indiana, a Jewish community security program, was immediately notified of the incident. Safe Indiana is working alongside law enforcement to investigate the incident.

“Safety and security for our community is of the utmost importance, and we are more secure and prepared than ever before,” Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis officials wrote in a press release. “Although a Jewish facility was not targeted, solely due to ironic misidentification, this is yet another reminder to maintain security protocols, remain vigilant of suspicious activity and to (report promptly) to the appropriate authorities.”

According to the report, Almaghtheh was interviewed by detectives and admitted to committing the “hate crime” during her courtesy phone call with a family member.

Almaghtheh is expected to make her first court appearance on Wednesday. IMPD has contacted the FBI about the incident.

Yep. But I refuse to use their damn app. And they deliberately make the interface on the mobile site cumbersome. It's tons of fun.

Plus, it's a model made before catalytic converters so it runs good on regular gas.

Points for "sassy robot." But you could have described it worse. This was the first one I could identify.

And I only subscribed because the one-time purchase was not available at that moment, so I assumed no such option existed. But honestly, I'll continue to pay the subscription. It's still less than a year's worth of my monthly donations to the developer of Tasker.

It's probably also related to when a person first encountered JS. If you learned it pre-2015—even if you're aware of the changes made in ES6—I can see how it would be hard not to view JS as cumbersome. I personally love to use it, but I can't imagine that would be true without let, const, classes, etc.

Edit also block scoping and arrow functions!
