“A targeted act of violence against the Jewish community”.
Violence against any faith is to be condemned universally.Such acts are insidious in that harm goes to the community wherever it is. To our Jewish friends in Utah you are not alone, we are w/ you. nytimes.com/live/2026/03/1…

Hey Simarjit Singh Gill @SimGillDA, what in the bug-culture is going on here? Let me know when your "community" celebrates the next baby goat tossing festival so I can witness the barbarism in person. I want to be culturally enriched. Do you snap their necks before you throw them or just huck them and see what happens? Do you celebrate Gorehabba (poop festival) before or after the goat yeet festival? Does this please Kali Ma?

@SJack801 @SimGillDA It looks like Steve Martin’s cat juggling routine, I’m sure Simarjit will enjoy it. 👀

@RockyMtnDrew310 And I’m not asking for agreement but for an honest understanding of our commitment to try and do the best right thing with complex issues.
English

@SimGillDA Then I'm willing to be as big as my words and praise this action from your office. You and I might not agree on politics or policy, but this is well done and with scrutiny and jeering from the public (myself) while you prosecuted a solution.
Thank you.

@SimGillDA
This is the first I've seen this. I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong.
If this was your game plan for these convicts, then I admit I was wrong and will be looking to edit/amend my posts accusing you today.
Thank you for securing guilty verdicts.

@RockyMtnDrew310 Thank you. I can assure every prosecutor does their level best in these type of cases. Also every Friday I meet with anyone personally to answer any questions and out YOUR office not mine.

@RockyMtnDrew310 We knew they were not going anywhere & that gave us flexibility to how to fashion an outcome that was victim sensitive & our convictions that complimented the federal prosecution.
English

@RockyMtnDrew310 Thank you. As prosecutors our cases are based on evidence, witness willingness, trauma and also where we can get the biggest punishment for the defendant who is a risk. They have been custody from the beginning & will be for a long time & probably deported.

@SimGillDA What about that “hate crime” in Utah you were all worked up about?

@Woody_Wilkins @phil_lyman @tvheidihatch It doesn’t. Neither does LDS phobia, Catholic phobia, Baptist phobia etc.,

Abdul Raouf Afridi, 39, arrested after he allegedly fired shots at leader of Utah Islamic Center in Sandy
Investigators identified a white 2016 Kia Optima through surveillance video, traffic cameras and vehicle analysis. The car, found at a Salt Lake City dealership linked to Afridi, contained matching 9mm shell casings, a loaded magazine and other evidence. Cell phone data placed Afridi near the scene hours earlier, contradicting statements he made during questioning after turning himself in Feb. 27.

@SimGillDA Not our responsibility comrade, it’s for the Iranian people to rise up and put in place a government not run by a Muslim fanatic. Allah has left the building….

@Jensen_Utah @Manhattva Call 385-468-7600 & ask for Nick Pensari to set up a time to meet. I meet anyone every Friday have done it for 25 years. Come, ask, I’ll answer as best as I can.

Gunman shoots at prominent Utah Muslim leader. This is abhorrent. We don’t use violence against people because of their faith. Especially in this State where its people were persecuted for their religion. Religious liberty means all religions not some. sltrib.com/religion/2026/…
English

@Manhattva Agreed, I will after our office has screened the matter. My original post was a concern was about any violence against any person of faith because such crimes send a chill through that community & no one should go through that: LDS, Muslim, Baptist etc.
English

Respectfully, Mr. Gill,
I think it would show a lot of character if you were to follow up with this post to clarify that this does not appear to be a hate crime.
Utah’s already developing a worse and worse reputation, and it’s important that our leaders are willing to tell the truth on these things.
