How did this POS repay America? By taking the lives of our American troops.

The wife and five kids need to be deported pronto.
The POS who killed our NG soldier will be tried for capital murder and hopefully get the death sentence.
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.

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

DP. Dude doesn't look 29. I'm 40 and he looks my age.

I’m pretty sure that living in Afghanistan for most of your life will have that effect. Life is a lot easier in this country.

In just four years you allowed the population size of entire 3rd world country walk across our border. Many of us will look like this guy soon.

So go make some White MAGA babies! Get to it!

Be careful what you wish for. Liberal women are more interested in their careers than children. They also filter potential mates by political leanings. There aren’t enough liberal heterosexual males to go around. The more you encourage people to “go make some White MAGA babies” the more likely liberals will be significantly outnumbered by conservatives in the next 20-30 years.

There was ONE incident of ONE individual shooting at guardsmen. Why does this require 500 additional guardsmen in DC and the need for DC police to patrol with the NG?

BREAKING:
D.C. police to begin patrolling with National Guard after fatal attack

Troops patrolling in D.C. will be paired with local law enforcement personnel, at least temporarily, in the wake of the Wednesday attack that killed one National Guard member and critically injured another, according to an email obtained by The Washington Post and two D.C. police officials. If enacted on a long-term basis, the change would significantly shift the way National Guard members have worked with law enforcement in the District since their arrival.

To answer your question:
A. Because look who lives a block away from where this happened, or works part time from that location. A germaphobe small hands orange felon.
B. Because look at who is in charge of deploying members. A germaphobe small hands orange felon and an alcoholic.
C. To scare.
D. To create chaos.
E. All of the above.

The "incident" with the CIA trained former soldier in a totally safe area was probably planned in order to bring the 500 additional guardsmen in. Bet they didn't expect the former soldier to get captured or get wounded.

RIP Sarah. We are all praying for your family.

Let's go back to American civics class. One this orange probably never took.
Posse Comitatus Act prohibits using the military for domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by law or the Constitution.

Bye bye Constitution.

Who will save good ole America? She weeps.

Seriously? There are more women than men. Many liberal women have several more filters for mates than conservative women do. Conservative women are more likely to want a family, and likely a larger family. This is just math.

You mean try a trained-by-USA man for following through on an order? Interesting that just days ago Senator Mark Kelly et al (all who have served unlike small orange hands) reiterated the well-established legal principle that soldiers are permitted and in some cases required to refuse illegal orders.

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.

What America do you speak of now?

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.

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

The waitlist for American families is six months to three years.

American elderly, disabled, single moms, & veterans are pushed aside while Afghan migrants are given priority.

How did this POS repay America? By taking the lives of our American troops.

The wife and five kids need to be deported pronto.
The POS who killed our NG soldier will be tried for capital murder and hopefully get the death sentence.
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.

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

DP. I know you're being snarky, but the PP is analyzing the current set of facts by applying cultural, historical, and public policy knowledge. Don't dismiss what you don't understand.

I'm the PP you're referring to. I believe in FACTS. I am not interested in the PP's feelings-based analysis. Where are the FACTS?

Without going into my academic credentials or my history of having lived on multiple continents, including in Muslim countries, I can assure you I know a lot more than you do about "cultural, historical, and public policy" issues.

Go into it. I'd be interested in hearing.

You first.

Now the DC police force has to protect the red state National Guard from former CIA employees from overseas. Who apparently will drive to DC to attack national guard instead of the guard deployed near them .

This is all looking very very odd.
