Suspect in LA synagogue attack found competent for trial

I’m very familiar with the Fairfax District in Los Angeles. Most Americans probably don’t realize that next to New York City, Los Angeles has the 2nd largest Jewish population in the entire USA (and the 5th largest in the entire world). 

An Orthodox Jews walking along Wilshire would be easy for Mohamed to spot. 

LOS ANGELES – Prosecutors say a Seattle man accused of trying to run over two Jewish men outside a Los Angeles synagogue has been found competent to stand trial.

Investigators say Mohamed Abdi Mohamed yelled anti-Semitic remarks at the pair on Nov. 23, made a U-turn and drove at the men, who were on a sidewalk. Nobody was hurt.

A public defender had questioned whether Mohamed was mentally fit for trial. The Los Angeles Times says the 32-year-old was found competent during a hearing Friday.
