I am watching the news as they are reporting on the shooting of the two NG troops in DC. While the situation is developing, various stories are flying.
One thing some of the news outlets are talking about is the body armor these troops were wearing. Unless things have changed, my experience is these are not “bullet proof” vests. They are flack vests. Those vests are primarily designed for shrapnel, not bullets, and definitely not high velocity ammunition. I’m looking forward to getting more information.
On the incident overall, my opinion is once a trial is completed and if/when this dirtbag shooter is found guilty, if he does not get life w/o the possibility of parole, then this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the justice system is worthless. If one or both dies, and there is no death penalty, the same, in spades.
What I’m waiting for is the liberal Democrats to get to their spokes-puppets to start their “oh I’m so sorry this happened” crap after basically ginning up their followers to do just this kind of thing. Waters, AOC, JD, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of the (National Socialist) Democrat Party and their minions will be crying crocodile tears over this, showing just what big hypocrites they are after covertly encouraging their mindless drones to this type of action. The blood of these two soldiers is on their hands, and the scary part is there most likely will be more.
The other aspect of this is now those soldiers who are out there will be on a higher level alert and concern. Unless you’ve been in combat, i.e. bullets flying at you, you have no idea how someone can and will react. Think of that scene in Tombstone where the kid runs up to the Earp Brothers shouting “bang, bang!” on their way to the O.K. Corral. Now, think of someone doing that to these troops. That is why, again if/when, this ‘person’ is not put away forever, there is a strong possibility something equally worse can (and IMO will) happen. And if this individual is a juvenile, it’s going to be really interesting.

Since you live in ‘conservstive make believe land’ where you pretend Democrats aren’t appalled by this kind of violence, I will remind you of the actual words Trump said after the Iowa school shooting “…we have to get over it. We have to move forward.”
So stop with your fantasy that democrats aren’t applaud by this type of shooting. It only highlights your hypocrisy and partisanship.
But you be you.
Like the ones blaming Trump for putting soldiers “in harm’s way”…in D.C.? Soldiers by definition expect to be in harm’s way. And the fact that Dems use this moment to politicize and blame Trump doesn’t exactly scream that they are appalled, not “applaud” Dummy.
The Democrats have been on tv that Trump out the soldiers “in harms way” because they were deployed to DC. Think about that. They know DC is a shit hole and they know that thousands of unvetted Afghans were released in to the US while our real allies and interpreters were left in Afghanistan along with 13 dead Marines. Private contractors had to go get them. One of which was defamed so much by CNN he won a huge settlement in court. All of the men, women, and children should be sent back. They don’t assimilate and take benefits away from US citizens
Hey Chris deport all ILLEGALS then let GOD sort out the good from the bad
Unvetted? Trump administration gave the shooter offical asylum status. How reckless of them.
Cracks me up to see you whine about Dem talking points while repeating Republican talking points as if you are thinking about this awful situation without a biased perspective and agenda. To me this is just another awful event in America’s history of violence and doesn’t warrant any great change in US policy as this is a single event and not a trend which requires policy big change.

Speedy trial, no appeals, firing squad. Matter settled.
For 20 years, the U.S. war machine propped up Afghanistan to the tune of a trillion+ dollars. The original goal was to disrupt Al-Qaeda and prevent Afghanistan from hosting groups planning attacks on the U.S.
What did that exuberant sum of money actually get us? We failed to make the Afghan military self-sustaining or to help make their government stable without corruption. We lost the lives of 13 U.S. military members during the 2021 botched withdrawal. We allowed 200,000 Afghans to resettle in the U.S. under Biden’s 2021 resettlement program, which cost billions of dollars and eventually caused the shootings of two DC National Guards by an unvetted recipient of this program.
Biden has lots of blood on his hands, and he should be put away forever in the same cage as the DC shooter.
