While nobody on the left appears to be celebrating the shooting, as many did after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, some have resorted to blaming Trump. “This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost,” wrote Jane Mayer of the New Yorker.
“We still don’t know anything about the motive but let’s be clear: if not for Trump’s illegal deployment of the national guard for a non-emergency, they’d be fine,” wrote YouTuber Keith Edwards.
It's hard for me to digest stuff like that. Can you be that fuckin' bitter that you'd actually blame the President instead of the shooter himself? That's the kinda statement that deserves more than just abitch slap. Juss' sayin'...

Trump?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was climate change.
I am no supporter of military folks occupying America's cities. First, making lots of arrests, only to have the DA, police, judges, etc release them, helps nobody. Second, this is not a military dictatorship and Posse Commitatus is supposed to keep the military far from law enforcement. That being said, D.C. ONLY EXISTS because we are saddled with this federal government, and so long as we are, the government has the responsibility to ensure the city is safe and if that requires the military or national guard, then so be it.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the presumption is that, if the Guardsmen weren't there, the killer would have just said, "Shucks!" and gone home, rather than killing anyone else.
