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.

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'm very conflicted on this. On the one hand, it is a good thing when genocide collaborators die, that's two less to worry about, but on the other, this could serve as a catalyst for further Zionist crackdowns on free speech.

I understand the catch 22 of it. But they are already doing crackdowns, and even without this, they have already planned more crackdowns. So it means that being afraid/concerned about potential crackdowns only really helps the Zionists/fascists. Just like the Dems always being concerned about how the Republicans will react makes them not actually accomplish anything ever. Never bothered to force things like Roe v Wade into official law when they had chances and just kept it as just an up in the air thing. There are very much times and places for trying "good faith" efforts. But they mean nothing and get stomped on if you already know the other side is "bad faith" only.

The man who got shot had an active Twitter account. Very stand-up guy. Such a shame he got killed.

Won't find me weeping for an active defender of genocide being put in the cemetary.
