The shooting took place late Wednesday outside the Capital Jewish Museum, which was hosting an American Jewish Committee event at the time of the incident.

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the deaths in an X post, saying, “We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share.”

The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriquez of Chicago, Illinois, "chanted 'Free, free Palestine,’ while in custody," she added.

I know it makes me a terrible person. But I have trouble coming up with any response to this except "good. The time for bullshit words is over"

They were judged under the standard they themselves espoused.

They were very pro Trump. The kind of Israelis that celebrate the genocide.

And to think, there are people around here who accuse me of not being a "real" leftist. Who but a leftist would post a page from from a webcomic that's 90% text? Checkmate libs.

I don't necessarily believe that civilians are legitimate targets, but these two men, the government they served, and the government of the country they were killed in, are all extremely firm believers that they are.

I don't celebrate their deaths and I wish this didn't happen but if they support the same thing happening to other noncombatants, I have a hard time seeing how this isn't karma.
