Cool Zone?
this is the worst news ive heard since the kirk shooting. this doesn’t make me happy at all. im not gonna take a celebratory bong rip over this travesty.
I disavow, of course.
CNN describes the suspect identified by the FBI as an Afghani national that immigrated here in 2021, NBC news naming Rahmanullah Lakanwal.
I am having a small Thanksgiving tomorrow with close family, I do not envy any USAmerican hexbears who still get invited to large events because your racist relatives are going to have fun talking about this racistly.
Friendsgiving allows us to have the good food and cool people without the shitheads and familial baggage.
Probably not best to make the main link an archive url when the story is still only half written. ABC is going to change the article as more information comes out.
Okay here’s the link for anyone wondering: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/2-military-personnel-appearing-national-guard-shot-white/story?id=127905871
Headline changed recently to:
2 National Guard members dead after shooting near White House: W. Va. governor
The Governor just changed his statement to say that they might not actually be dead.
Also the headline was changed back to not say dead anymore. now it is back to saying “shot”
Live law enforcement press conference just said that the National Guard who were shot are currently at the hospital. Presumably this means they are not dead.
One of my favorite Bluesky libs - post malone ergo propter malone - has a post that made me laugh.
never a good time to fedpost but now is a particularly bad time to fedpost

I think it’s like farming. I don’t think his followers would fedpost. I could be wrong though.

Edit
I forgot to look at the replies. This is the top one.
This is the correct time to just post God bless the national guard and move on.

Regional smoke shop mogul pissed off that he can’t sell delta 8 vapes anymore
Local news is saying that the shooter was an undocumented person from Afghanistan who overstayed a visa. This feels really weird in a bad way

Obama…
Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

in America
Those school shootings that are a quirky national pastime? Totally nonviolent believe it or not
A Governor Billionaire (aka Pritzker) post - emphasis mine.
The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, DC today is a horrible tragedy. We must all condemn this kind of unacceptable violence. MK and I are praying for the victims, their families, and all of our service members who sign up to serve our country.

I wonder what kind of violence is acceptable in your opinion, Mr. lib billionaire governor?
Nixon had prepared remarks in the case the Apollo 11 moon landing ended in tragedy. I wonder if Pritzker has a similar plan. He’s media savvy and he knows that after a traumatic event - on social media every single minute counts and you don’t want the tiniest mistake to creep in as you rush to make a statement. I wonder if his speechwriters got a few rough drafts ready for his first social media post he’ll make after the first Gestapo-related shooting deaths in his state.
OP, you might want to put in a live, updated link.
Live CNN: 2 National Guardsmen in critical condition after shooting in DC, officials say
The 2 National Guardsmen are dead.That was from a Bluesky post by a journo had a screengrab of a tweet by the governor of West Virginia that’s at least 60 minute old. Everybody on Bluesky is fucking like farming as fast as they can. I hate that!If they are dead then fuck CNN.
It was only the WV Governor who said that they were dead and then he retracted the statement. That is why that the news sites are changing it back to not dead. Also the Cop Press conference said that they are at the hospital. Really I blame the WV Governor for making unsubstantiated statements.
They could be alive. They could be dead.
They could be dead.
dead [he/him]
updated thanks
I wish there was up-the-minute social media site that had good info that could be trusted. But those days are long gone. Bluesky is surely better than Twitter but that hardly says anything at all. Twitter’s a cesspool.
False flag?
