To remind you:

1971: A bomb exploded in the U.S. Capitol building in protest of the U.S.-supported Laos invasion, causing significant damage.

1972: The group bombed the Pentagon.

1973: The group bombed an ITT Inc. building in New York City.

1975: An attack on the Department of State was carried out.


Were any of them from Afghanistan?

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.


You keep writing you want FACTS and you believe in FACTS. Your credentials are meaningless because you simply don't understand you are NEVER going to get all the facts. They just don't exist like they exist in the United States. So you lived in a Muslim country? That could be the largest Muslim country of Indonesia.

You think someone is going to miraculously find a birth certificate for Lakanawal and all his family members to prove his age? And a multitude of documents? Someone might know if he was born before of after the Taliban swept into power when he was born around 1996 since that is a milestone event, but that isn't going to be documented anywhere. Birth certificates for people his age are not common if you weren't born in a city. He was probably born at home. His kids also were probably as well since 60-80% of births in Afghanistan are home births.

And you don't understand the mentality of the collective good of many communities in the developing world. You say and do things to benefit your family, then your relatives, then your community.

So the chances are this guy really is 29 with a 14 year old is probably close to zero.

Clearly all of you have missed the last two right wing shooters targeting right wing people (Trump / Kirk) and the weirdness that followed where neither two white guys were ever mentioned again.

Assume that pattern will happen again with the National Guard shooting and the CIA asset.

What does his age have to do with anything? What are you really getting at?

Apparently republicans and / or paid trolls don't even notice this pattern.

These also don't want to pay attention to family members who are saying that Sarah thought this was a useless mission.

Looks like she was right, now that the MPD are going to have to protect the National Guard troops.

The Weather Underground specifically focused on PROPERTY destruction, and none of their many bombings resulted in deaths except one in 1970 which killed three WU members. Some members were involved in a Brinks heist in 1981 that resulted in the deaths of two LEOs and one security guard, but that’s it - the grand total of WU deaths was 3 members, 3 ‘civilians.’

But nice try with the whataboutism. As the FBI has repeatedly told us, the right wing in this country is responsible for the vast majority of terrorism and associated loss of life.

Stop the f’ing gaslighting. There was nothing right wing about Trump’s attempted assassin and Kirk’s killer. They were part of your people.

All signs point to the opposite. We can’t make you believe the truth. This is like trying to convince anti-vaxxers.

20 Christians were beheaded by Islamists in the Congo on Friday.

Over 300 Christian schoolgirls were kidnapped by Islamists in Nigeria last week.

Tens of thousands of civilians were executed in Sudan this past month.

Where’s the media? Where’s the outrage?

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.


They are when we invade their country and use them to protect American soldiers. They became your problem the minute you voted for Bush.


Now wait just a minute. Bush ran as a peace candidate if you can believe that. He repudiated Clinton's nation building in Kosovo and Somalia. Then people chose the peace candidate in Obama, who invaded Syria and whacked Libya along with overthrowing the Ukrainian government. Rinse repeat.

Americans pretty much always vote for the peace candidate, so its not actually on the voters. Its just some weird coincidence that no matter how people vote, we get war instead.


American foreign "policy" doesn't change if a republican or democrat. Until now maybe. Well, because this felon with small hands is neither.

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.


Quiet stupid piggy.


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.


WHITE LEFTIST WOMEN are the #1 problem the world faces right now.

They must be put in asylums. And I am completely serious. Most people are sick and tired of their rich elitist white Karen attitudes and ideas.

Makes more sense than a Trump-CIA orchestrated hit job designed to bring on the civil war to declare martial law or whatever it is you all seem to be trying to make a thing.


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


Did they deport the family of the Boulder terrorist?


That case in Boulder: The 45-year-old is an Egyptian national who according to an arrest warrant lived in Kuwait for 17 years before moving to Colorado Springs three years ago.
