So if the US military asks for support and a 14 year old kid steps up and gives them 10 years of his life in exchange for freedom in the US, the US shouldn't honor that promise? How do you suppose Venezeulans on the ground are going to react when the US military asks for their help when Trump decides to invade?

No, these are verifiable data analytics and facts that deserve exploration. It’s like the statistical anomalies in voting from 2024 that are making their way through the courts.

Whereas, the maga marks will believe whatever Russian propaganda or heritage foundation BS gets pushed out, no matter how ridiculous.

Why do people always assume MAGA folks are rednecks? Look at the Trump admin, the billionaire toadies, the congressional acolytes. Are all of those “meemaw” people?


Statistically speaking:

Rednecks or maga
Those that are not rednecks are under educated.
Those that are educated are highly religious, which makes you susceptible to to believing in conspiracy theories.


I’m maga, highly educated and not religious


And yet you still have some kind of brain defect that makes you susceptible to believing lies.


I see that as reversed


Find new sources of information that haven't been forced to pay almost a billion dollars for their lies.

Time to thoroughly vet all those Afghans that Biden brought in unvetted. If they cannot be thoroughly vetted, deport them.
Enough of this nonsense.


He WAS vetted, including by the Trump administration. Where is your evidence of "all those Afghans that Biden brought in unvetted"?

Vetting of Rahmanullah Lakanwal:

Pre-2021: Worked with CIA-backed units in Afghanistan → already known to US intel, no red flags
Aug 2021: Evacuated under Operation Allies Welcome
Sep 8, 2021: Entered US on humanitarian parole after FBI/DHS biometric & biographic screening (cleared)
2021–2023: Continuous FBI monitoring (NCIC/NGI) + full re-vetting in 2021–2022 → still cleared
Dec 2024: Applied for asylum
Apr 23, 2025: Asylum granted after another round of USCIS/FBI checks → no derogatory info found [This occurred under Trump administration].

He passed every layer of vetting, including vetting by the Trump administration.

No vetting in the world can predict who is likely to become a murderer. Not until we have technology that can read minds and know what humans are going to do before they do it.



What biometric screening is being used? When he started working with CIA backed troops was any biometric data ever complied like fingerprints? Do children get tested to make sure they really are their children? 29 years ago the Taliban conquered Kabul and control most of Afghanistan so often records like births were not recorded because it was so chaotic.

If it were reported the wife was 15 when she had a child then it would be more believable, but how common is it for a 29 year old male from Afghanistan to have a 14 year old son?

It is hard to hold it again a refugee they have no documents, but at the same time it is concerning when someone has no documents. Not sure what the solution is but there is no way vetting means the same thing as when a person is vetted who has continuously lived in the US.


Where did you get the information that the 29-year-old shooter has a 14-year-old son? I fact checked it and it’s not accurate.


“Lakanwal is married to Khamila Lakanwal and is the father of five sons, all boys. Their ages are consistently reported as 2, and then up to 11 years old (e.g., "ages 11 to 2" in a now-deleted GoFundMe page by a couple who hosted the family in Bellingham, Washington). No sources mention a 14-year-old child. Reports from ABC News, The Economic Times, Times of India, Hindustan Times, and Daily Mail emphasize the family's resettlement in the U.S., including struggles with employment due to an expired work permit, but confirm the children are young (all under 12).”



So you fact checked and know it isn't accurate, exactly how? There aren't an abundance of reliable records in Afghanistan like there are here. So many Afghans and other refugees who have societies that use different calendars and live in cultures where birthdays aren't celebrated like they are here, when asked by the US to state their birthday just use January 1st as a birthday because they don't know when they were born.

Do you get that is the issue? You can't reliable fact check so much about refugees. If they lived in stable societies with functioning governments then they might not be refugees.

The landlady who rented them their apartment was interviewed a couple of days ago and is quoted as saying that their oldest son is 14. And since the go fund me was started in 2022 it makes sense that the child who was 11 year old in 2022 is now 14. So that is about as good as you can get. Two sources.

So is the shooter really 29? Maybe? Is he really even the person who fought for the US or a relative of that person? Does anyone really know?

Is the 14 year old his or a relatives? If you had a 10 year old son and the choice was send him to the States with a relative under a fake name or keep him in Afghanistan where the Taliban are rushing in, what would you do? So maybe all five kids are his, but maybe not.

He's ensured that his family will be deported. No reason to keep five potential martyrs in the country.

So now in America we punish the spouses and children of killers absent any evidence whatsoever that they had any foreknowledge of the crimes their family member was planning to commit???

These people will be executed by the Taliban if returned to Afghanistan. Are we planning to execute the family members of all shooters in future gun violence incidents in this country? Just immediate family, or how far out will this purge apply - cousins? Grandparents? Aunts and uncles?

You people are sick minded, profoundly.


These people are NOT OUR PROBLEM.


Small children who have been promised safety by our government are absolutely our problem.

The fact that you are proposing death for small children is horrifying.

He has 5 sons. It's his wife that would suffer


Are you saying that the Taliban is kind to the male children of CIA operatives?


They will probably try to radicalize them.

This is the dumbest thing I have read this year. MPD doesn’t have the staff for this!


Wouldn’t it be nice if orange assolini would send the NG home and give DC the BILLION he robbed from their budget so they could fill all the vacancies in the Metro PD???

Too logical.


You realize that the MPD hasn’t stopped hiring for a single second, right?


MPD cannot hire enough people because who would want this job? The political class does not have their backs and the actual citizens yell at them and throw things at them. It’s an impossible job.

Working on it. They were here on his expired visa. There is no legal reason for his family to be here anymore. If they want to visit, they can come back after getting another visa. Actions have consequences.

The US did honor that promise. The US fulfilled its obligation to this man, his wife and 5 kids. His actions this week nullified any continued grace extended to them.

Now, this might seem like conspiracy theory territory, but is there anything that’s beyond this administration?


Don't most know the answer? The question from page 2 of this thread has been "was this planned?"


Magic 8 Ball says "smells like deepstate swamp".


And by deepstate you mean Trump's MAGA deepstate now entrenched in the FBI etc. Because the left had absolutely nothing to gain from this.


They are all extreme left. There is no two party system. Wake up.


Can’t the extreme left at least give us free healthcare? How extreme can you be without free healthcare?


Nothing in this life is "free" you moocher. Grow up.

Pretty much sum it up, but probably not how you think.

Do not mistake "education" for "indoctrination".

That’s right. They approved his asylum in April 2025. I don’t know why everyone focuses so much on vetting since it can’t predict who is going to commit mass violence.

You have quite the imagination. You are very invested in your little theory.
