[SamuelTheThird]

1. Deaths at Trump's and Hegseth's fascist feet

[Silent Type]

2. Hope they get details on motive quickly.

[Skittles]

3. terrible

another day in gun humping America, just awful

[Botany]

4. If they were not in D.C. they would not have been shot.

Something about those shootings don’t pass my smell test. I hope I am wrong.

[jeffreyi]

10. agree.

[Grim Chieftain]

5. There are no words...

I am absolutely heartbroken. These guardsmen only doing their duty, serving this country, lost their lives, while the evil, criminal felon lives a life of privilege. I don't believe in anything anymore.

[SamuelTheThird]

7. 'serving the country'???

They were serving Trump's fascist agenda. Not saying this is a reasonable response obviously, but they weren't there doing good , either. Trump is happy about this at any rate.

[Grim Chieftain]

11. How do you know when they signed up?

They may have signed up under Biden or Obama! You need to get a grip.

[SamuelTheThird]

12. That's irrelevant

They weren't there 'serving the country'.

Sorry, I don't believe these bullshit platitudes should be covering up reality.

[Grim Chieftain]

15. My husband was a headquarters company commander in the National Guard

And my brother was an MP officer in the guard. They served This Country. Your hatred and vitriol is out of bounds.

[SamuelTheThird]

17. I think your emotions are blinding you

In no way can being a pawn in Trump's agenda be construed as 'serving the country.' Period.

[roscoeroscoe]

31. Cool down there, yo

These Guardsmen, like me, joined to serve America. Point your finger at the civilian leaders, not the Soldiers. Please don't lose track of who gave the order to send these Soldiers to Washington DC.

I deployed to Iraq even though I knew it was an awful farce. But, the civilian leadership of the day made it happen.

[haele]

24. They didn't sign up to be in DC supporting ICE.

They signed up to help their communities and state, for the training and GI Bill so they can improve their chances for education, jobs, or to eventually get a home, and finally, for truck and beer money.
The West Virginia Governor put them there.

[SamuelTheThird]

26. Irrelevant to what I typed

I'd just add that military from West VA are majority trumpers.

[johnp3907]

6. Killed by Trump.

Didn't he say he could shoot somone on Pennsylvania avenue or something like that?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. Pedonald in NOT responsible for their deaths, the shooter is,

Pedonald is responsible for them being there in the first place.

[SamuelTheThird]

13. Of course Trump is responsible

Putting troops where they are not needed coupled with all his other Fascist moves is provocation. Let's be real here, this is what they wanted to happen.

At minimum, it was designed to get people acclimated to having fucking military on the streets (in preparation for stealing the election).

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. No, the shooter is responsible for their deaths,

Pedonald is responsible for them being there.
Full stop.

[SamuelTheThird]

19. Red State Troops go into Blue areas to fulfill Trump's fascist agenda

[MarineCombatEngineer]

20. That still doesn't change the fact that the shooter is directly responsible. nt

[SamuelTheThird]

21. If Trump (as some prominent dems have said) uses troops to interfere with the election

And someone fights back, what will you say then? The brave troops were doing their god-given duty?

It helps to think ahead and see the broader picture.

This is trump's doing.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

22. The law says different.

I'm not going to argue with you about this, the law is the law and the law will prosecute the person, if they're still alive, not Pedonald.

[SamuelTheThird]

23. lol the law

Trump tried to OVERTHROW the government, violently on Jan 6. Now HE is sending troops to fulfill HIS agenda.

If you can't see his responsibility I don't know what else to tell you

Who gives a shit about the law when someone is lawless and not held to account?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

25. I don't want you to tell me a fricken thing,

I said my piece, so at this point, Buh Bye.

[TheBlackAdder]

9. ...

[yaesu]

16. All the guards are sent by red states, whether they like it or not

They are seen as an invasion force from a foreign country which will bring out the worst in people.

[SamuelTheThird]

18. This

[pfitz59]

27. Wag the dog?

I don't trust any of this news...

[regnaD kciN]

28. Apparently, this is NOT true...

The WV governor who announced their deaths has now walked it back, citing “conflicting information.”

[avebury]

29. An update on the WBOY West Virigina station stated

that the Governor has now said that he has received conflicting information.

https://www.wboy.com/emergencies/gov-morrisey-confirms-two-wv-national-guard-members-dead-in-dc-shooting/

UPDATE, 4:15 p.m.: West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey has released another statement saying that he is now receiving conflicting reports on the condition of the two West Virginia National Guard that were shot in Washington DC.

[Lovie777]

30. The Republican Party is whack......

They immediately came out re killings. It appears to be a lie.

[Miami Blue]

32. So, The Pig Pedo in Chief, the Moron Governor of WV

And Kanawha County Circuit Judge Richard
Lindsay, they are the ones to blame for
manufacturing the deployment of the
WV National Guard.
As a result of their unlawful stunts now they all have blood on their hands.

Hey Pig Pedo in Chief,
You must instantly end all of your Thanksgiving extravaganzas at your Narco-a-Lago Club. After all, you're causing this horrible situation.
So, don't you dare to attend any Thanksgiving festivities you Mofo.

[Celerity]

33. you need to pull this, as they are still alive
