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.
Murder does not help our cause.
2 less zionists doesn’t hurt.
Please don’t murder anyone! I know the state is enacting violence on you everyday, but PLEASE for the love of god don’t murder! Just take it please, sit still and take the violence. Let your mothers, fathers, neighbors, friends, sisters, and brothers be taken away by the state. Do nothing.
Because not murdering has really helped our cause. What a joke.
Nah. It’s very easy to argue that murder is ethically wrong or unjustified but it certainly is effective.
What evidence is there that murder is effective in these circumstances?
That’s irony because I think bully’s are very afraid of getting hurt.
In a just world they would be prosecuted by a proper legal body. When that is impossible then it become necessary to at least consider the need for vigilante justice.
Yeah, what we need to do is ask them nicely. Like 500 times. Hold more peaceful marches. Keep marching and marching and getting beaten up by the police and never ever get any sanctions on Israel. That is surely going to achieve things.
That depends who and how often, as history has shown time and time again.
I don’t advocate murder, but saying it’s never effective is arguing with reality.
He didn’t say “it’s never effective”, just that it doesn’t help this cause. And he’s right.
Is he? It’s not obvious that he is.
Yeah. Prisoners, on the other hand…
What do you mean “our”? like “second minute hour”?
