The shooting took place late Wednesday outside the Capital Jewish Museum, which was hosting an American Jewish Committee event at the time of the incident.

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the deaths in an X post, saying, “We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share.”

The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriquez of Chicago, Illinois, "chanted 'Free, free Palestine,’ while in custody," she added.

This already happened. The entire constitution has been put in the trash can before anyone got shot.

Wrong. You still have the first amendment. A privilege that the entire political spectrum of the US is a fan of. There is however an exemption to the first amendment. That is incitement. You are all making a case for the fascist government to portray pro-Palestinian sentiment as calls for violence.

Let me make it perfectly clear. The 2 that were smoked have a direct hand in the progress of the Zionist project. I have no love for them. But if you're going to crash out, please crash out responsibly.

First amendment has been canceled for over 2 months. I'm sure this will be a new fan favorite excuse for repression. But looking at it realistically, besides a new excuse the actions will be the exact same.
