It sounds like two armed and uniformed national gaurdsmen were just gunned down unceremoniously in Washington DC.
Early reports make it sound like the national gaurds men attempted to be cops and interrupt a crime but instead died on the spot.
Surely Trump will use this as an excuse for some sort of escalation, but sadly sounds like ordinary US gun crime and police turning a street into a war zone.
Ugh huh... now would -any- other organization even the FBI or whatever be allowed to just flood a city with military presence over a crime that should be left to the local cops to solve?
This situations is plainly being used as an excuse for even more illegal National Guard occupation of cities.
Developing story...
The news looks increasingly like a "lone gunman" Luigi'd a whole squad of National Guard leaving two dead after what multiple news sources say was an ambush.
And let me be the first American to say how truly saddened we all are to hear of the untimely passing of storm troopers on an illegal, unwarranted, wasteful, provocative deployment.
No storm trooper protecting the empire deserves to die in uniform, while armed and literally while oppressing the masses.
Very sad about this. ðŸ˜
Alright more details have come out and the alleged attacker is an Afghani man who lived in WA state in the PNW.
The man was given asylum (which was NOT easy to get) by both the Trump and Biden administrations, likely due to him or close family working for the US occupation in Afghanistan.
Now what the main stream media is missing lately is that Trump admin has recently been working tirelessly to send many Afghani US collaborators to their deaths.
From August to now Trump's administration has been fighting to send Afghanis home many of whom almost certainly will face death or prison for the simple fact that they appear to have collaborated against the Taliban.
This whole situation doesn't feel like terrorism imo to the average American given the context we have so far.
Being faced with getting delivered directly to the Taliban in chains, practically on a platter, and crashing out over that is not terrorism, that's a Kobayashi Maru.
This whole idea that this is terrorism seems dubious at best.
This is like an armed burglar breaking into someone's house and ending up unalived.
We can squabble about the legality of when and where the resident harmed the burglar but was it some grand scheme of the resident that caused the burglar to break in?
Most i think would conclude that being armed and breaking into homes is hella dangerous and getting hurt is not surprising. To some degree over reaction of the resident is expected.
Like wise, Trump is doing one illegal ICE, CBP and National Guard occupation after the other.
I see each and every soldier following those illegal, immoral, wasteful orders just like an armed burglar breaking into people's homes and vehicles (while taunting all by standers)
While I can agree its illegal to unalive a storm trooper, much like Luigi and that health care ghoul its hard to have a single shred of sadness for dead storm troopers killed while actively following illegal immoral orders.
See, I tagged this all #DumbNews, because this was all a dumb and painfully stupid situation.
Right on time here comes Kash Patel is here to make sure we all know just how seriously this administration takes this sad situation.
Another super #DumbNews update, turns out the guy who killed the National Guard troops was a CIA asset in Afghanistan (so he absolutely could get killed if deported) and not only that but again as the media is leaving out the unit he served in was well known for doling out alleged war crimes.
So in other words.... seems to me like a case of boot on boot violence.

So anyways, no one should give a rats ass about a CIA asset crashing out on two fascists asset National Guardsmen.
That 500 soldier surge is now clearly deeply unjustified and the usual fascist excuse for another power grab.
Don't let this sad situation distract from what Trump's overall policy has been since day one.
Here's an article from April of this year . . .
"One of Trump’s first actions on taking office in January 2025 was to issue an executive order suspending the Afghan resettlement program and leaving those eligible in legal limbo. Approximately 180,000 Afghans had been admitted to the United States after August 2021;"
The chaotic US military pullout from Afghanistan in August 2021 became a hot campaign issue in the 2024 presidential election and continues to echo today. President Donald Trump, who set the withdrawal in motion during his first term in office, repeatedly criticized President Joe Biden’s administration for leaving behind billions of dollars of military equipment. Also left behind were tens of thousands of Afghans, and their family members, who faced retribution for assisting US forces in the fight against the Taliban.
In the middle of Thanksgiving dinner the Trump admin's Immigration Service immediately made new rules specifically prompted by this event.
They halted any new Afghan resettlement and promised to re-interview and re-vet all already admitted US residents from Afghanistan.
This will subject around 120k+ US residents to unnecessary ICE contact.
Now with fascists like Trump you must always watch the policies they implement during distractions.
On the eve of Thanksgiving the Trump admin moved rapidly to deport 350k US residents from Haiti in a shocking move.
The net effect of these combined rapid immigration policy changes is that around 470k legal US residents are now in limbo or were just told that ICE will forcefully arrest and deport them in the next few months.
From here I expect Trump to try and justify all of the terrible human toll of ICE contact by pointing to the actions of a single man in DC.

On the ground reporting from DC tonight indicates that the illegally deployed National Guard troops have largely stood down for the night and have abondened their "high visibility" patrols which had become common in DC.
