“Don’t you know who I am???”
True. Forgot that bit. So primarily staffers.
Someone or a bunch of someones are whipping these people into a frenzy. I don’t read any of the garbage, so I don’t know what they’re saying, but it’s made people go crazy.
My BIL and sister were eating dinner last night when he got a text message from a friend asking him if he had changed his mind about him yet. When my BIL said no, why would he, the guy proceeded to tear into him. MY BIL said that they had been friends for a long time and he had never talked to him like that. Then he said he was done and put his phone down.
WTF?
Never bring a knife to a capitol fight.
Crutches and flagpoles seem to work rather well a few weeks back…
Hard to accomplish when they really, really want to question you.
… Only if he’s white. Since he was immediately taken to the hospital, I’m guessing he’s white.
Isn’t Congress in recess (both houses) right now? Maybe the target wasn’t Congress but rather the Capitol Police…?
Pete Williams said suspect cut one officer in the face with knife before being shot
Maybe when the perp heard “the Capitol is in recess” he thought it meant they were playing outside on the lawn?
“Multiple outlets reported that Capitol Police officers** SHOT** at the suspect after he or she jumped out of the vehicle with a knife.”
Shot and hit, taken to hospital
Yeah, if he was black…“Oh, was that your larynx, sorry about that…”
Could be. Then again these guys that carry out attacks like this rarely seem to account for the target not being there.
I get it that these right-wingers feel their lives are worthless and want to go out in a big way, but why can’t they show the same dignity that a dying cat does, and simply crawl under a bush to die, rather than going out of their way to harm others?
Didn’t Republicans deem it A-Ok in Oklahoma and another couple states to use your car as a weapon against people you disagree with?
Only after a CP officer was slashed in the face. That’s how you know he’s white. He was allowed to hit two cops, get out of his car with a knife, and stab someone before he was taken down.
This person was a suicide bomber with a car.
Perk is dead
The suspect has died. (MSNBC)
