The Daycare has nothing to do with it, bait headline. Just a bunch of morons doing moron stuff

I hear there was a daycare nearby!

They were targeting a parent at pickup, it’s relevant in that these morons were willing to endanger children while carrying out a murder.

Good thing they were so incompetent

They weren’t incompetent, they were under active surveillance because of their link to organized crime, and the surveilling cops realized they were going to carry out a hit on a target at the daycare - probably chosen purely because they knew that the target was gonna pick up their child at a specific time - and rang the alarm bells. The daycare center itself wasn’t a target, but if something were to go wrong at the hit it might have caused collateral damage (it might even if nothing went wrong, if the children were to see someone burning to death - the 2 gas cans spell out that this thing was to send a message)

The cops did actually good this time, doing real police work instead of mass surveillance of the whole population.
