So the answer to our military being attacked in our streets for no reason is more military in the streets for no reason? This administration just loves using random acts of violence to advance their authoritarian agenda

If Trump wants to take over DC and make it his fortress bus the homeless to DC?

How…. convenient that shortly after they were court ordered to remove the military from DC that an event occurred to ensure they stayed.

Ah, so, we’re going to have a military occupation in the United States.

An occupation which has been declared illegal. This is Trump making a illegal order.

Weird how I haven’t seen any details about this shooter. Obvious plant much?

Thank you Nancy Pelosi for sending the National guard to DC. At least I’m told she’s the only one that can do it. Weird that Trump is taking credit for that ability now after he taught us all a civics lesson that the president absolutely cannot do it.

Trump had a decision to make, escalate by needlessly sending more troops or deescalate by sending the troops home. Like usual Trump chose to be a dick.

Potential violence is unfortunately, really kind of a logical conclusion when you send the National Guard in to act as the police…that’s not their job, and they’re not trained to do that. It’s like sending a squad of arsonists to put out a fire, instead of sending the Fire Dept … it’s not going to work out well in the end.

Sadly there’s always a possibility it’s an inside job to further their plans

Trump was just looking for an excuse to do this… it was all planned in advance.

I blame Trump for getting em killed. I dont think they should have been there in the first place.

False flag anyone?

The video of Hegseth talking about the escalation of troops is very strange. He seems oddly happy with himself about what happened to those troops. His demeanor is very suspicious.

This seems super sus. DC Is super quiet this time of year. We’re headed there this weekend for the lights and decorations.

Apparently if you fill every square foot with the national guard, there’s no room left for terrorists.

God bless the shot Guard persons, but they should never have been there

But I thought the National Guard had **already** made DC “totally safe,” according to Trump?

This exactly what they wanted send in the national guard and hope one of them gets shot or even killed brownie points if the shooter is an immigrant or anything non white so trump and his MAGA goons can invoke the insurrection act and turn DC into a full police state it’s gonna be Nazi Germany all over again folks

**17. Listen for dangerous words.** Be alert to the use of the words *extremism* and *terrorism*. Be alive to the fatal notions of *emergency* and *exception*. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.
**18. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives.** Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. *Do not fall for it.*

They must be pretty happy they finally get a tragedy to take advantage of. Ghouls.

This was a clear false flag by the GOP again, using it as an excuse for more mass deportation and racist military takeover. Also a distraction from the Epstein files.

Didn’t a judge recently ruled Trump’s National Guard deployment was illegal?

oh look sudden violence after weeks of peaceful protests that’ll be used to excuse escalation. not buying it for a minute. I bet the shooter doesn’t make it.

This was always the goal.

Trump pardoned a whole violent mob of people that beat the sht out of capital police, so them pretending to care about anything, especially in DC, doesn’t hold water.

So 2000 troops in DC couldn’t even stop a shooting of armed soldiers, and somehow they think adding more is the solution?
OneSeaworthiness7768 on
Gee, almost like this was all part of their plan. Very convenient.
DrRealName on
And that’s how we all know it was someone involved in MAGA that fired the shots. False flag.
NewSauerKraus on
Wouldn’t that mean whoever ordered the National Guard to be there is guilty of felony murder?
Stryker_Corndog on
If Trump and loser Hegseth didn’t have the National Guard there on a PR scheme, these innocent Soldiers wouldn’t have lost their lives. They may not have pulled the trigger, but they definitely loaded the metaphorical gun.
Military don’t have the proper ROE to handle the general population. The Soldiers there are in extremely risky and compromised positions because they cannot legally detain or use lethal force on civilians. Nor should they! Warfighters should fight wars, not police civillians. This is all so backwards and stupid.
My heart aches for these Soldiers and their families. They didn’t deserve this. Their senior leadership should not have put them in this position.
