Ottawa police say knife attack on Jewish woman in her 70s was hate-motivated crime

JL;DR SUMMARY In Ottawa, a Jewish woman in her 70s was the victim of a hate-motivated knife attack in a grocery store known for its kosher offerings.

At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
