BREAKING: Individuals connected to Israeli Embassy shot in DC, sources says

Mossad's gonna lose its shit, expect even more retaliation in Gaza. Which, good! Terrorists understand only violence.

They have sent in the clowns. Pam Bondi posted that she and Jeanine Pirro are on the scene.

Religion of peace?

Jeanine Pirro !!!!

Free Palestine!

The shooting took place just behind the FBI field office and the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Suspect yelled “Free Palestine” during the arrest.

Uh oh. Who would want to murder individuals connected to an Israeli embassy? Who?

Palestinian protestors?

Somehow I don't think shooting random Jews is going to lead to a free Palestine. It may increase that clamp though.

I'm sure the "From the River to the Sea!" clan will be celebrating this in the streets.

Patel is on it but we says that we need to pray.

If anyone is in the area, please pick up a couple of bottles of Pinot Noir for Pirro. She forgot to grab them before she ran over.

Reichstag fire in three... two....

I was hoping this was some personal beef between two people but I guess not

Reports are that the victims were staff members of the Israeli Embassy who had attended an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.

Fuck ALL religious fanatics, hopefully, they'll all kill each other.

Suspect is named Elias Rodriguez.

Elias Rodriguez of Chicago has been named as the suspect. After the killings, he entered the museum.

They were shot at close range.

And now all the "Free Palestine" and "Queers for Palestine" videos/memes will come back to haunt Democrats.

[quote]After the killings, he entered the museum.

Is he a docent?

Maybe he had a family member in the group of international diplomats that were shot at by the IDF this morning in the West Bank 🤷‍♂️

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One man and one woman were shot and killed outside of an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

r23 Oh man, that's pretty damning. I'm sure he'll soon create yet another thread on DL's subreddit, crying about how hostile everyone here is towards him.

Elias Rodriguez must have attended too many college graduations this year.

Bibi was pissed the UN forced him to allow baby formula into Gaza for dying infants, so he had his masked mercenaries travel to DC to create an 'incident'.

Why can't anyone see through these stunts? Every time someone doesn't want to do something now, they create a false flag operation.

Allegedly, this is the guy. Not confirmed by officials.

another Luigi Mangione

No, he's not a Luigi. This guy is ugly and killed two random people who have no influence on Israeli state policy.

Will Trump use this to deport random American Latinos and other Latinos here legally?

Strongly worded letter to come.

Get ready for calls for the death penalty or a public hanging,

How did Palestine become such a flashpoint? I mean, I know the Palestinian issue has always existed, but people in the U.S killing in the name of Palestinians - who aren't Palestinian themselves?

Instagram of the shooter Elias Rodriguez. He's even hotter than Luigi!

R31 Don't give him ideas! He already wants to deport American citizens.

The instagram pic posted (if it's him) has a few Christian hashtags.

The hard left will chalk this up to "just another couple of dead colonialist Jews" and tally it against all the suffering Palestinian children who have become social media pawns in their cries for justice.

Hunting Israelis outside of a Jewish museum is especially vile no matter which way you want to spin it.

That's the same guy as the boxer in the instagram pic?

Genocidal Hamas supporters.

Israeli false flag assassination

This is Rodriguez (right of center in checkered shirt) in 2017.

R43 typical. The fact that we're at a point where leftists are shamelessly assassinating Jews for "social justice" currency is almost unfathomable to me.

[Quote] No, he's not a Luigi. This guy is ugly and killed two random people who have no influence on Israeli state policy.

They're both delusional especially if think that killing people is going to have any effect on politics or policy, they're pathetic.

The victims were a young couple about to be engaged. The young man purchased the ring and planned to propose this weekend.

The victims attended a museum event on how to help Gaza. The organizer explained her feelings of guilt:

[quote]“I didn't know the couple who were shot but I do feel a sense of guilt, and it's a very uniquely Jewish thing to feel guilty for the fact that they were there because of an event I organised and then feeling guilty about my guilt when I shouldn't be centering myself when people's lives were just lost.”

In addition to Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Jeanine Pirro, Kristi Noem is also on the case.

The suspect, Elias Rodriguez, helpfully led the police to the gun and implied he committed the crime.

Australian Jews are officially horrified, per their statement.

Mike Johnson offered prayers.

When the suspect entered the museum, he was assumed to be the victim and offered water, aid, and comfort. He essentially confessed to the police.

He doesn't look like the boxer at r35.

[quote]They're both delusional especially if think that killing people is going to have any effect on politics or policy,

Hate to burst your bubble, but if you check the comments on social Media, Right wing MAGAts are all over this making jokes about it. Didn't Trump say there are good people on both sides? I guarantee if Ivank was not married to someone Jewish, he would not be faking sympathy like his team is doing now.

it couldn’t be a qlose qatari frenz behind the attack, we know they’d never do us dirty.

i think it was genocide lovin’ kamala and her demonic laugh.

Anyone think Pam Bodi has a stylist? That hair makes her look like a veteran porn star with a degenerative venereal disease.

[Quote] I guarantee if Ivank was not married to someone Jewish, he would not be faking sympathy like his team is doing now.

This is wrong. Israel is the DARLING of the ultra-rightwing. Trump is hanging his slow motion coup on “fighting antisemitism” and “threats to national security” due to people daring to oppose Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians.

It’s not hard to understand why. Zionism is fascistic.

[quote] Patel is on it but we says that we need to pray.

To which deity?

Interesting to me that so many people pushing back against the Zionist narrative in this thread are being FF bombed. My setting isn’t at asbestos eyeballs so I see tons of grey out.

I wonder if the good folks at unit 8200 have anything to do with that? Anyone opposing Israel committing genocide in the comments quickly gets greyed out or timed out.

Further to my post at r82, when 4chan got hacked, the hackers did fun things like investigate the nationality of posters in certain forums.

They looked at /politicallyincorrect which has racist and bigoted humor of course. The number 1 country of posters on that forum was Israel, with twice as many posts — almost half a million — than the next country, the USA.

The U.S. has a population 35 times as high as Israel. So Israelis are either 70 times as bigoted as Americans, or there’s some entity or agency driving all those posts. 🤔

Sorry that should be r62

r34 Dude, anything adjacent to Jerusalem makes people CRAZY, and that's been true since at least the Babylonian exile. Then it obviously kicked up a notch after Jesus's crucifixion and then another notch with Mohammad's ascension. It will not end as long as billions of people across the world call that worthless strip of dirt their Holy Land.

So I just googled this and it OH MY GOD WHAT A SURPRISE you're spreading disinformation - interesting the source of your info is a twitter account with Hamas red triangle in its profile.

Now why would you choose to believe a screen grab from a Hamas supporting account? 🤔

This is terrible!

Just like the kid who was murdered by his family’s landlord, the three college boys who were shot, the two people murdered in their car—all for being (or perceived as being) Palestinian.

When the fuck does this end??

Ask yourself how a 30 year old Latino guy from Chicago became so radicalized that he was willing to throw away his own life, and take the lives of two innocent people, for a cause thousands of miles away that had nothing to do with him. Maybe the Party for Socialism and Liberation can shed some light on this question.

At Least Luigi made sense. He was rightfully angry about an issue that directly affects every American.

[quote] DL *is* leftist, [R44], so why are you here?

Because everyone tells the truth about their ethnicity when they're signing up for an online forum.

They would go by IP addresses, R78. Country of origin is easy to establish.

Hmm…what about the Americans who attempted to kill at least 6 people for being perceived as Palestinians. I’m guessing their straight up MAGA

The guy killed was cute. He was going to propose to the woman killed with him......

How Israeli embassy staff shooting could impact Gaza war:

R76, Luigi executed a man he didn't know. Luigi's own family was exploiting the health care system and the suffering of others. If Luigi had any integrity, he would have shot his own father. Social justice begins at home.

There is going to be more of this because of the rhetoric of muslim and leftist groups. This is all about hatred of Jews, why else are they harassing and intimidating Jews on streets, campuses, outside synagogues, even Jewish institutions with schools? Protest at the Israeli embassies or other governmental buildings, leave Jewish Americans the fuck alone. It is truly nazi behavior.

r83 that's so incorrect.

Don't worry. I'm on it. Let me just finish putting on my eyelashes first.

R80 more pathetic, exhausting “whataboutism”. Two things can be appalling at the same time, you dumb fuck.

What’s next? “Just because he murdered two Jews attending an American Jewish Committee event outside the Jewish Museum doesn’t make him antisemitic! “

This conflict will outlive us all, and all our nieces and nephews as well. So just sit back and chill and try to focus on other things in life.

I like how r87 bootstraps his own antisemitism red herring in his last paragraph. “What’s next????? The absurdity of [states something that could quite possibly be true and not at all absurd].”

You zionos are the laziest motherfuckers on earth. Whenever any controversy about Israel comes up, no matter how awful what Israel has done, you just put your hands over your ears and scream ANTISEMITISM at the top of your lungs until the other person walks away.

It’s obviously not antisemitism — its revulsion at the ghastly behavior of Israel — which is your behavior. The fact that a sleight of hand is your only argument shows Israel and Zionists are in the wrong, and you know it.

Same argument for the Holocaust, r88? Just chill and it will sort itself out?

We are approaching the endgame for the Palestinians right now. It’s not surprising you want people to look away.

And it didn't help the people in Gaza one fucking bit.

What will help them is if Trump demands a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, compensation to the Palestinians so they can rebuild and renew their brutalized culture, and a declaration of a state of Palestine. What do you say, r91? Are you behind that?

Palestinians rebuild? What are they going to rebuild? They're slaves to their ideology and have never had much of a civilization or infrastructure. It all Islam 24/7, like most other Muslim societies.

That’s a stupid statement

Everyone needs to live together in peace.

[quote]At Least Luigi made sense. He was rightfully angry about an issue that directly affects every American.

No, it didn't make sense, R76. You don't go around killing people just because you have an unsolved grievance. No matter how "hot" or "fuckable" certain DLers think he is. Murdering innocent people living their lives as a way to demonstrate "solidarity" for suffering Gazan's is still murder, too. They both need to be incarcerated for their actions.

R89 I’m not Jewish or a Zionist, but thanks for playing, I guess

When people are collectively demonized, they're no longer seen as individuals with rights and dignity of their own. They become stand-ins for whatever evil their group is accused of. From there it follows that they deserve to suffer for it, even if they've done nothing wrong themselves.

This is what produced the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, Stalinist purges, Mao’s Cultural Revolution, etc. The depraved logic of identity-based collectivism leads to violence by design.

Every Jew becomes a “Zionist occupier.” Every white man becomes a “colonizer.” Once that framing is accepted, violence becomes virtue. The antidote to this poison is not more tribalism, but the repudiation of it.

The couple who was killed sound like exceptionally kind and bright young people. And they were interfaith Jewish (her) and Christian (him).

The killer’s long winded manifesto sounds extremely post-Luigi. The warped argument that actually, random citizens do deserve to die if they are judged complicit in “evil” by an activist whose cause is “righteous” from the killer’s point if view.

[quote]Same argument for the Holocaust, [R88]? Just chill and it will sort itself out? We are approaching the endgame for the Palestinians right now. It’s not surprising you want people to look away.

Comparing the war in Gaza (and it is a war) to the industrial genocide of a racial minority in Europe overseen by the Nazis is just total and utter nonsense. The recent war in Syria would be a more appropriate comparison (250,000 dead) yet hardly anyone in the West gave a fuck about those dead brown people because it was a brown on brown war.

If Israel really wanted to commit the Gazans they easily could and would have done it by now, the way China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs or Russia against Ukrainians. Or Sudan with 150,000 deaths as well as the mass rape.

There is plenty of food in Gaza, but Hamas are hoarding it and punishing looters who are trying to get it for their families. There are countless videos of this.

The recent story about 14,000 babies dying in the next 48 hours has been rubbished immediately even by the UN, but this "genocide" has been going in for over 18 months and Gazans are still fucking like rabbits.

R95 finally someone with a real plan

The infiltration of the DL by genocidal Hamas supporters is no different than all the MAGA fascists roosting here. They share the same goals: destroy all opposition. The whining about being FFd here is hilarious. Have you no shame? You’re here celebrating the death of two innocents. No different than how you celebrated the burning/beheading of infants and toddlers @ Kfar Aza. Animals.

r90 The Holocaust wasn't about Jerusalem and you fucking know it. Likening the current conflict to the Holocaust only reveals your rampant antisemitism, implying the Jews pulled an October 7th of their own and provoked Hitler in that way. To say nothing of the gross disparity between the number of casualties.

The only "genocide" that's going on right now is in the highly warped heads of Western leftists who live for some imagined plight of brown people on the other side of the world. Orientalism is very much alive and kicking.

Hamas supports the murder of every Jew in the world (it’s in their charter). They also support the genital mutilation of women, and the execution of gay men. How “progressive” is that?

Question: If we were to get Drumpf*, Benny, and the Houthi leaders in one room. Then blow it up. How far would that go to solving the world's problems?

*Paranoid about typing their actual names.

It might feel good for about a day. Better if you add one more.

R104, you forgot vlad

That was my one more

I am pro Palestinian liberation and not a fan of Zionism. The PSL org is the MAGA of the left. Full to the brim with weirdos like Abby Martin and conspiracy theorists like Sid Blumenthal's son Max. It is also filled with uber rich highly educated repo babies who are fucking losers and/or mentally disordered. It is MAGA for far left loons.

These murders are vile and an absolute tragedy. May their memory be a blessing.. The murderer can rest in piss.This does NOTHING for the poor Palestinians languishing in Gaza and only strengthens far right resolve to eradicate Palestinians.

[Quote] Likening the current conflict to the Holocaust only reveals your rampant antisemitism

It’s Pavlovian apparently! It’s all these mass-murder groupies have 😂😂😂

They just can’t help themselves. Oh actually they also have gaslighting, scare quotes and reality denial:

[Quote] The only "genocide" that's going on right now is in the highly warped heads of Western leftists

When you cheerlead for genocide, I guess all you can do is lie to yourself, and everyone else too.

(Of course it might just be some 21 year olds doing their military service, a disgraceful and disgusting job, and they should be ashamed of themselves — but fascists seem to lack that emotion.)

R108: at least the likes of Abby Martin, Chris Hedges, and Foreign Affairs's Nathan Robinson do their homework and are well informed.

Abby Martin was a cheerleader for Iran's missile attacks on Israel.

She's a fucking crank.

Abby Martin is a brain dead twit and a 9/11 truther.

Martin was on Joe Rogan and couldn't complete a sentence without adding "dude".

The woman is fucking stupid.

Rodriguez has been charged with first-degree murder:

[quote][R108]: at least the likes of Abby Martin, Chris Hedges, and Foreign Affairs's Nathan Robinson do their homework and are well informed.

And Nathan J Robinson looks like a paedophile. There is no reason for a man in his 30s to style himself like that unless he is a paedophile.

In Muslim countries, if two men or two women kiss publicly, they can spend up two years in prison.

Tell me again why gay men & lesbians should be supportive of Palestine?

The shooter is not hot. Therefore, an immediate stoning behind the museum is appropriate.

[Quote] At Least Luigi made sense. He was rightfully angry about an issue that directly affects every American.

And when did Luigi become radicalized? Did he think killing a CEO was going to make a difference? Did he even have United Healthcare? I know a lot of people who have United Healthcare and have absolutely no problem with it? So, what was he really doing? I don't think he even knows

make it make sense R76

Shot one of the victims from behind as she was trying to crawl away. I really hope this POS doesn't gain the sort of cult following that Luigi has.

[quote]Tell me again why gay men & lesbians should be supportive of Palestine?

Because they're not white. NOT WHITE!

But are they white white?

R118, political criminals (terrorists, revolutionaries, etc.) do not have personal motives. They do not care who specific people are. Every act of terrorism seems pointless in isolation but that rarely turns out to be the case; they tend to trigger a chain of other events.

[Quote] Every act of terrorism seems pointless in isolation but that rarely turns out to be the case; they tend to trigger a chain of other events.

The psychopath shot the woman again as she was crawling away.

And here we see what a deplorable like R128 tries to claim when the facts are what the facts are. “False flag” your ass.

[quote]Shot one of the victims from behind as she was trying to crawl away. I really hope this POS doesn't gain the sort of cult following that Luigi has.

As long as DLers don't start multiple threads on how "hot" he is and try to dismiss his actions for that reason, R119, we'll be good.

The shooter may be, and I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear this, a Nazi sympathizer. Apparently he had Twitter account with the screen name "@habboman88." "Habbo" may be a reference to Habbo Hotel, an old gaming site which attracted neo-Nazis. The "88" reference is not obscure at all: 88 is a white nationalist code reference to "HH," i.e., Heil Hitler.

The false flag freak on this thread just proved that the whacko lift is basically QANON. The shooter is a longtime member member of PSL and confessed to the crime.

The shooter is not hot at all! Besides being fat and not attractive, he's also profoundly stupid.

He shot them over and over from behind as they tried to flee. The woman was shot dead while crawling from already bring shot. This makes an already sick crime even worse.

How can a person feel so much rage towards innocent strangers?

[quote]The shooter may be, and I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear this, a Nazi sympathizer.

I'll never forget understand Hispanic white supremacists. They must realize Nazis don't consider them "white enough," right?

You lost me at "innocent people". That CEO was in charge of a criminal insurance company making people's lives a living hell and even responsible for them dying because of their greed not to cover their medical costs. Oh I am being hyperbolic, uh, no I am not. Current CEO recently fired, lawsuits filed and being investigated for FRAUD.

There are several threads you can post about Luigi. Let's stay on topic here.

The United Healthcare CEO was literally a mass murderer, and our government refuses to stop it. Big Pharma and the healthcare system are profiting off of suffering and death and bankruptcy of working class Americans, and NO ONE is protecting us. People have been fighting for universal healthcare since the 70’s! When humanity has exhausted all peaceful options *and* the other side refuses to negotiate….this is how we get here. I’m not violent. But do I see how we got here? Yes, yes I do.

American corporations are killing Americans by the tens of thousands, and our government knows it, and looks the other way. Now, in Gaza, we see the displacement of over 2 million people, as our President presents AI photos of a Trump resort to be built on the shores of Gaza. And we’re watching the Fed strip us of rights and budget cuts while they simultaneously increase the allocations for bombs/weapons to Israel, for which we seem have unlimited budget. No, I do not want my tax dollars to pay for the bullets that Israeli soldiers are shooting into the faces of women and children. And you think people aren’t going to get radicalized? Of course they are.

And I can say all of this while still recognizing that what happened to this couple is absolutely horrific. But am I surprised? Nope.

R143 is justifying murder.

You're no different to the people who wanted to lynch Muslims when some people did something on September 11th 2001..

This is the problem with conflating American Anti-Semitism and American Jews with Israeli foreign and domestic policies.

Israel is a sovereign nation run as a democracy when in reality it may be a theocracy. A theocratic democracy?

Israel needs to figure out which one it is before the cleansing of Gaza and Trump Gaza Sur La Mer.

R145 No one conflates diaspora Jews with Israeli policies but far-leftists. It's also the problem of conflating Zionism with approval of any particular party in power.

When 90% of global Jews self-identify as Zionists, it makes it pretty easy to gun down any random diaspora Jew on the street and still insist you're not targeting Jews, you're just targeting Zionists.

Trying to force observant Jews into renouncing Israel/ separating Judaism from Israel is like trying to force observant Christians to renounce Jesus. Or like saying Catholics are okay so long as they're not the kind that receives communion or prays to the Virgin Mary.

What are "good" Jews supposed to say at Passover? "Next year in Palestine"?

[quote][R143] is justifying murder. You're no different to the people who wanted to lynch Muslims when some people did something on September 11th 2001..

I am not r143, but he has a point and your analogy is simplistic and false. The general population of Muslims had nothing to do with 9/11, the company CEO DID AFFECT US PERSONALLY with his financial decisions and greed. He was not some random CEO, he was the actual person responsible for pushing this [bold]profit over patient[/bold] corporate directive of the largest insurance companies in America.

He was no different than Osama bin Laden. Yes, no different. Why? Because neither of them did the actual dirty work. They both guided their minions to do it. Osama technically didn't kill anyone, an innocent man by your standards.

[quote]No one conflates diaspora Jews with Israeli policies but far-leftists.

r146, tell that to Evangelical End Timers...

Girls, GIRLS. All of this is about keeping us all separated into factions so a few billionaires can continue to funnel our money to themselves.

R147 “Free Luigi”, an innocent man by YOUR standards apparently. In your view, is Luigi just a minion or is he a mastermind?

R147 you neglect to mention that while the general population of Muslims had no direct involvement with 9/11, the majority of them have a very difficult time denouncing Muslim terror, or just don’t comment on it at all. This is essentially what Muslims call “Islamophobia” when people point out this truth —- those of us who notice they’re quick to play victim while playing dumb about their own people’s violence and atrocities, or their just staying silent. And we don’t like it. Isn’t one of the left’s catchphrases “silence is complicity”?

"Islamophobia is a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.”

I loved Cristopher Hitchens. Stayed true to his atheism to the end.

R141 No matter what the CEO did in life, there's no justification for someone else deciding to take the law into their hands by shooting him dead. NONE. True, his hands weren't entirely clean. We know his actions caused people to suffer more in life and die horrible deaths. There's plenty evidence of company corruption. That isn't disputed. Though we are currently witnessing it being dismantled, the U.S. (for now) is still country governed by the rule of law. You handle grievances through the legal system and fight for whatever change you want, but not through violence.

This is not a banana republic (yet) or a warzone with vigilante justice. Imagine what the country would look like if everyone decided to pull a "Luigi" on anyone who pissed them off at some point? In that scenario, most of America would be "Luigied."

R152, he also said that waterboarding wasn’t torture until he had it done to himself. Let’s not go quoting that dead alcoholic pos.

All this drama over a stupid piece of land. Jesus (no pun intended)

R150 has already convicted someone who is not even had a trial yet. You must not be American. OR, I am guessing you are MAGA. They love assuming their OPINIONS are facts. And talk like that while shaming others for their values.

Once again, your analog is that of a Simpleton and complete false. Luigi was not pissed at some random guy. He targeted someone who was the direct cause of many millions of people who suffered because of the CEO's actions to control whether someone got treatment or not.

That's not the same as Karen in a supermarket with a gun.

[R150] has already convicted someone who is not even had a trial yet. You must not be American. OR, I am guessing you are MAGA. They love assuming their OPINIONS are facts. And talk like that while shaming others for their values.

Did Brian Thompson didn't get a trial ?

R159 When you say' direct cause' do you mean that in the same way that one could say that Luigi Mangione was the direct cause of Brian Thompson's death? What proof would you offer?

A few years ago I read a Muslim (Pakistani?) quote: "Jews are a warlike people!" My first thought was "Obviously, they've never been to an American suburb."

As a Libra, being able to see both sides of this issue is downright painful.

r169 stop being a grammar troll, just scroll by. It's easier that way.

Somebody getting all pissy and out of sorts about grammar and spelling, then having the nerve to chastize another poster about "pent-up rage." Priceless.

[Quote] How can a person feel so much rage towards innocent strangers?

they have a shitty life and take it out on others i.e. R166

btw R171 has no idea what she's talking about since she can't follow a thread

r172 the asinine spelling and grammar posts from the pissy schoolmarm are part of this thread.

and what posts are those R173?

I found them R173 and it looks like you're the one who posted them. Odd you couldn't find them. What are you going on about?

[Quote] The spelling and grammar trolls are such stereotypes of gay men as pissy, fussy prisspots. It's a bad look.

The Daily Fail now has a headline that says the perp's girlfriend "vanished" a few weeks before the murders. I wish I could get into the story, but they've got it set on "Mail Plus" and I'll be damned if I'm giving them money.

You could use a paywall remover like 12 foot ladder r176 failing that you could feed the html address into chatgpt and ask it to give you the bullet points.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, who allegedly confessed to killing the couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum and chanted “free, free Palestine!” was part of that network through his association with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a Communist political organization that has fielded presidential candidates since 2008.

In 2018, Rodriguez also raised $240 in a GoFundMe campaign to join the March to Fight Poverty in Washington DC and took part in demonstrations and protests around Chicago as a member of the ANSWER coalition around 2017 and 2018, another radical socialist group, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

I am r143, and no, I’m not making excuses for murder, but what I am doing is providing *context*. When people are oppressed, violence happens. We do NOT live in a country governed by laws, just look at our President whose 34 felonies were discharged. It’s propaganda to say we are governed by laws. We couldn’t even lock up the man who led an insurrection n our nation’s capitol, so no, we are *not* governed by laws.

The truth is that we have two justice systems — one for the rich, and then one for us. And that is de facto oppression. And not to be a broken record, but oppression brings violence. So what do we do? Give it more context so we 1) understand how and why it happened, and 2) then the work is about stopping the oppression, which will eventually stop the violence.

The way some of you sound, you would blame black people for violence by their continuing to march in the streets during the Civil Rights movement. Yes, there is a difference between overt violence like this shooting and the 60’s….but I promise you, most whites wanted black people to stop making life so “difficult” by marching and “riling up” the community. This shooter just took it one step further by committing violence first. That is not me defending him — it’s just context.

Stop giving Israel money to fund their war, and all these protestors and violent extremists will go away. It’s that simple.
