They are armed and they shot this guy. |
The WV Governor had that statement. Why don't you go f c k ing write to him directly? |
| God bless them and their families. They volunteered to serve their country as members of the national guard always have in times of need. They did not choose their assignment. Two empty places at Thanksgiving tables that will never be filled, but always remembered. |
The ones I pass in McPherson Square every day are most assuredly armed. |
STFU, Even Bowser said crime was way down due to the guard being there.. |
They are armed. We were at Faragot North last Saturday they were armed. |
If Harris had won, there wouldn't be National Guard members forced to abandon their regular lives to be deployed to cities that have no need for them. The NG is there to help with national disasters. Not to do gardening on federal property and wander around DC. But the entire point of deploying National Guard to cities was to wait for the invariable crazy man or teenager with a gun to shoot them. NG was deployed as bait. And now Republicans get to do what they really want to do. Authoritarianism is borne out of tragedies like this. |
+1 They operate under the purview of the USMS. |
| I do not believe the NG was deployed as bait to the radical left. I do believe that violent people exist and do tremendous damage and that those people feel they have justification in many cases. However, there is NO justification for murder. None. N-O-N-E. And if you can't agree with that then consider what it means to live in a society again. This is horrific and my heart is broken for those families. |
| They were MULCHInG and picking up trash! What the hell is their job being in DC?! |
Two things can be true - they were deployed as bait with no care for their safety; and killing is wrong. Now let’s turn to gun control, hm? |
| What is this a distraction from now? What is that orange felon up to now? Or alcohol PH? Or couchy Vance? |
| Why did Trump let this happen? |
They have no business roaming around dc gardening. Such a stunt and now Trump has hurt these people for his own propaganda videos. |
OMG of course they were put there from red states only to bait people! How in the world do you not understand that? They are picking up Mulch for god;s sake. Not their dam job. And judges all over this country are agreeing these guard deployments are illegal. ie unconsitutional. |
