Does anybody know why he ended up shooting those two particular guardsmen? It all seems so odd, why target them out of anyone? Was it location, or the first people he saw? Its all just so odd.

You will never get a solid answer because this administration is filled with sycophant millionaire yes-men racist thieves.

The shooter likely was pissed that he fought for 20 years helping USA in Afghanistan, while risking his family, likely burning every bridge he had in that country to help his family escape the Taliban, and these racist pieces of shit that took over after the election told him to pound sand after all that effort, and ICE deported his family back into the Taliban anyways.

It likely is that, im not overly fond of making a judgement based off feeling alone, but it feels like thats really the only answer possible. Things are really getting bad fast.

If it was a false flag operation it was done in that location to justify an escalation in forces to protect pedo Antionette from whatever horrible thing he’s about to do next

To keep other NG fidgeted and more likely to pull the trigger. He is deploying soldiers and ICE to cities because he wants escalation.

Hasn't even been a whole year yet. Sigh...

It's interesting how many people believed the leaked "product" 2025 was fake before the election. Despite Trump's campaign team acknowledging it was real.

Oh no, I believed it. Just hoped more would fight for democracy. I see now nobody in power cares.

And now local DCPD are gonna be partnered up with NG soldiers everywhere, so now every arrest has a chance to turn into a summary execution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Washington,_D.C.,_National_Guard_shooting

On November 26, 2025, two members of the West Virginia National Guard who were participating in the deployment of federal law enforcement and National Guard forces were shot near the Farragut West metro station in Washington, D.C., United States, two blocks away from the White House. One of the service members was killed, and a male suspect was critically wounded.

The suspect was later identified as an Afghan national who had previously received paramilitary training and support from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Afghanistan.

Tfw you get disavowed 10 minutes before your assignment but your phone was on silent so you missed if

I don't even understand why they bothered with killing two guardsmen.

They would have implemented more fascist measures anyway.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Everything they do is chaotic bullshit. They don’t have to fool the smart people just maga

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

You know what they say about working for the CIA: it's very simple to stop working there whenever you like!

Ah, right, I forgot about that last part... However I managed to do that, since that made me so a double take when I heard that in the news.
