Two National Guard troops from West Virginia were in critical condition after a 29-year-old man from Afghanistan shot them, according to officials. The man, who was also injured, entered the United States in 2021 under a Biden-era immigration program for Afghans leaving their country after the government fell to the Taliban.

How can it be an act of terror when he attacked the military? He didn’t attack any unarmed toddlers and women.

Probably another Trump false flag. Pay one goober to commit a terrorist attack so he has a justification to send the national guard into every city. Just like his fake assassination attempt where we never heard about the shooter ever again.

So a guy that worked with the CIA that then had to flee his homeland when Trump sold the Afghani's out to the Taliban, and then spent years being denigrated by the MAGAs, before Trump comes back in and starts a broad based crackdown threatening to deport immigrants cracked and decided to shoot some of the soldiers Trump illegally sent to intimidate his opponents and ethnic minorities?

I can't really understand why that would have happened at all...

"some of the soldiers Trump illegally sent to intimidate his opponents and ethnic minorities?"

I realize that you and the true have a tenuous relationship even on the best of days, but:

1) Trump's deployment of the National Guard to DC is almost certainly legal, regardless of what a random (Biden-appointed) judge says. DC is federal territory and it's a well-established precedent that the federal government has broad powers in governing it.

2) DC is famous for having a serious crime problem, including murder and other violent crime as well as homelessness. You don't care about that though because you're an affluent white liberal who isn't personally affected by all of those problems, so you can afford to soapbox about how we need to have more compassionate policing and claim that Trump is somehow "racist" for wanting law and order.

@SA:

"Ahhh seb is victim blaming again I see."

Multiple things can be true at once.

- Those national guardsmen shouldn't have been there to begin with.

- We shouldn't be deporting Afghanis who fought by our side as a policy goal. That's an unconscionable betrayal of the highest order.

- The combat veteran with PTSD, who isn't eligible for VA benefits such as mental health care, etc, who happens to have been born in Afghanistan, shouldn't have shot those troops.

@Rugian:

"DC is famous for having a serious crime problem, including murder and other violent crime as well as homelessness. You don't [bla bla bla]"

Violent crime in DC hit a 25 year low right before Trump was sworn in.

http://www...lent-crime-dc-hits-30-year-low

A very typically authoritarian move is to create problem where one doesn't exist and then claim to provide the solution to the artificially and intentionally created problem. That's all we are seeing here.

Your narrative is fictional. I'm not sure what "MSM" story or article you are referring to. Often unfounded accusations are confessions, however. What was the main story on Fox News today?

It is you who is pushing a fantasy.

I naturally assumed that you're getting your opinions from the MSM because it's the MSM that's been pushing the "zomg DC crime is at a 30 year low!!!!!!!" narrative in order to argue that Trump's policing efforts are unnecessary. In doing so, they have selectively focused on the headline finding of that one report to push the ridiculous narrative that things in DC are just fine and dandy and you can only be racist for pointing out otherwise.

This narrative is obviously untrue, and it can only be found in MSM reporting. Hence why I am confident that you picked it up from there.

http://new...ow&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen

I, in contrast, merely relayed the consensus opinion of anyone who has even a passing familiarity with DC - that it has a major crime and homelessness problem.

I didn't need Fox News to feed me that opinion, like the MSM fed you yours. I don't even watch Fox News. I don't visit the Fox News website, or click on any of their online videos. I barely read their articles even before they put them behind a membership wall, and now I don't read them at all.

Bottom line EP, one of us is trapped in a bubble on this issue...and I'm entirely comfortable in saying that it's not me.

As a weak stopgap and deterrent, and publicity stunt.

"You have a govt and a movement that is constantly sowing division and amping up tension."

You have a media and a movement that is constantly sowing division and amping up tension and declaring resistance, to actively confront members of the opposition in public.

"You tell people there's a "war" against crime"

There isn't. There should be. 0.5% of the population causes the majority of societal ills.

"crime caused by "ethnics"

Statistically, largely. But if criminal justice is enforced blindly and fairly, no targeting is required. Simply ignore Sebs and Sebwives when they whine that "ethnics" are the ones being picked up.

"You start grabbing people and deporting them"

Yes. That is the proper response to illegal immigration.

"to board kafka-esque prisons in other countries..."

The direct result of Seb's judges intervening at every junction.

"keep turning up the dial, building the pressure, ramping up the rhetoric, increasing the theatre and drama... yeah people are going to get shot and killed."

Indeed. Consult BBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc.

"faux hysterical bullshit"

Hilarious, coming from the side of Michael Brown, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Kyle Rittenhouse, Daniel Penny, etc etc etc.

Your ilk have been selectively ignoring feral violence for years. A grandpa gets killed by the knockout game, gets run over cycling, gets mob ambushed, total silence...one of them dies or even gets slight pushback, even someone cussing into a phone, punching back...wall to wall coverage.

A bunch of levees gave way and a large chunk of a major US city was submerged while dead bodies were being fished out of the water.

The media didn't harp on this at all. Instead, they praised Biden's appearance (this is a 180°) and spent significant time playing defense for the admin against online conspiracy theories.

If John Kerry fumbled Katrina, it wouldn't be because he hated black people.
