Two National Guardsman shot in DC.
Situation is still developing... conflicting reports about deaths. Trump has already requested 500 more guardsmen to be deployed in the capital. I'm afraid that any commentary on my part will be pure speculation: I'll edit this OP as more information comes to light. Apologies for the shortness of this initial post.
I would expect ICE to be shot at, especially during active operations: but the National Guard? They're literally doing nothing but stand around. They're dads and uncles pulling overtime shifts away from their real jobs, not stormtroopers. I'm highly suspecting some sort of mental illness or dumb radicalization, but I'll refrain on coming to conclusions for now.
Edit 1: Suspect has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a Afghan national evacuated back in 2021.
Edit 2: Speculatively, a linkedin profile of the same name seems to point him as being connected to a bunch of American NGOs. I'm always skeptical of these - the world is big enough for strangers to have the same names - but the face on the profile seems to match the suspect.
Or perhaps I don't have an eye for Afghans, and they all look the same to me.

Because it's a non-argument: or rather, you're forgoing your opportunity to make an argument with an appeal to violence. Honestly, advocating others to fedpost on your behalf on social media is a cowardly and self-defeating act. A real chad just goes out and does things, you know?

For the first time in decades Christianity has the aesthetics of cool. Rather than try and stuff progressivism into the skinsuit of the Church, why not embrace it?
Sure, their faith is superficial, but I came into my faith for similarly superificial reasons. I wish to be strong, I wish to be valiant: I wish to be a knight in the service of God to slay dragons. That same motivation that converted the warrior pagans of the Franks, Germans and Visigoths is born again. Is that so wrong?
My impression is that barring some sort of state of emergency or legislation regarding the matter, the federal government can't nationalize state national guardsmen over extended periods of time. But if the relevant individuals wish to volunteer to remain the feds can keep on paying them, so as long as the state consents to it. It was a sweet gig for one hundred and sixty people who got OT pay and expenses reimbursed in DC - right up until now.
