A leftwing nut kills two National Guard members in D.C...

At this time we don’t know the shooter’s motives. But up until this shooting he was considered an ally deserving of asylum for him and his family because of his work with our forces in Afghanistan.

But soldiers going rogue happens to American soldiers as well as foreign soldiers as well.

Here is an article from the AP describing 11 different shootings involving American military personnel since 2009.

I think the better question should be was the National Guard deployment really necessary or was it just a publicity campaign by the Trump Administration?

In my opinion by deploying National Guardsmen for political rather than real security or disaster relief reasons is akin to placing these soldiers in harm’s way for no valid reason at all. Hell soldiers could and possibly have been involved in car accidents, food poisoning, sickness, or any other of a variety of things that could be related to injury or death to those being deployed.

Being deployed to pick up Trash in DC or to parade around armed in your uniform just to burnish the narrative of a politician doesn’t seem to be a good reason to join the Guard to me. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

No question about it. Those poor kids from WV should never have been deployed to DC, or any other US city.

Their blood is on Hegseth’s and Twitler’s tiny hands. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

They did not need to be in this situation.

The OP starts this thread putting "leftwing nut" in the title.


Here is what is known:

The motive and political affiliation of the suspect in the November 26, 2025, Washington D.C. shooting remain under active investigation, with no official determination made by law enforcement.


While the investigation into Lakanwal's motive is ongoing, the incident has prompted a swift partisan response in political commentary:


Right-wing commentators and politicians have used the incident to criticize left-wing rhetoric, the Biden administration's handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, and U.S. immigration vetting processes. Originally Posted by VitaMan

Seems that the OP knows something that the investigators don't know. Would the OP forward a BC to us with that email to the investigators that details what he knows about this shooting.

He could, at the minimum, show us the guys phony voter ID showing he is a registered libby.

But we all know that won't happen since the guy ain't eligible to vote.

This is collateral damage. The killer was one of many Afghans who helped the USA. We were honor bound to get as many of them out as possible before they fell into the hands of the Taliban. And unfortunately the Biden and Trump administrations did a piss poor job of that. Many were left behind.

If you want to lay blame, put it at the feet of the neoconservatives and nation builders in the George W Bush and Obama administrations. We had no business sticking around in that country for almost 20 years. Originally Posted by Tiny

Can't argue with that. At least a potus who did not cut out the recognized government officials from negotiations in that country (and who dealt with the terrorist we had been fighting there) got us out of there without spending gazzillions more money without end.

Who released like 20000 taliban from prison before the exit? Originally Posted by royamcr

Yep regarding this post claiming Biden let in 8000. How many of those 8000 were prisoners? Could be thousands that should be in prison still in middle east, not here.

Biden let him in along with 8000 other Afghans.


Any of those 8000 could be radical Islamic terrorists sleepers, just waiting for their activation orders.


This is all Biden's fault, as usual, as always.


Obama, Biden and Democrats have done so much damage to the USA in the past 16 years, it will take decades to fix.

You did catch the part where the interloper has been on the dole the whole time since he got "in" to the USA. First via direct payments, then Soros backed NGOs and then the American citizen, i.e. tax payer's dime. No job, no furniture, no contribution - just that he had to be gotten "out".

Why would he have to be gotten "out" in the first place, if we "left" in a well designed and orderly fashion?!?

The title of the OP requires it. bb1961‘s thread title “leftwing nut” set the tone from the beginning.

My question would be. How could anyone classify a Moslem Afghani Special Operations CIA operative as “Left Wing”?

OP started the thread having all the information to declare this a "leftwing nut."


Yet, as of today, no one has verifiable information about that.

They're running out of knees to jerk. But that doesn't stop them.

Just like their earless leader.

OP famously is leaping to conclusions. Again.

The only intent of threads like this is to vent hate on Dems/Libs.

They are so consumed by it that they will even exploit the victims of this insane act to do so.

Twenty years was long enough IMO.

The Trump Administration was on schedule to withdraw from Afghanistan by May 1, 2021. That was in the Doha agreement with the Taliban. Troops actually were out in August, 2021. Maybe the withdrawal wouldn't have been a huge clusterfuck under a Trump administration. Or maybe it would have. We'll never know.

The killer, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was the leader of an Afghan special forces team who worked with the CIA and U.S. and British military.

Do you believe the CIA should send its ex-operatives and assassins to Tanzania, to make sure they don't kill Americans? Why stop there? Why not strip citizenship from ex Seals and Rangers who served in combat and send them to Tanzania? Like people in Lakanwal's position, they're well oiled killing machines, and PTSD might just put them over the edge. Better to get them the hell away from the rest of us.

Those were rhetorical questions WYID. I know you don't believe that.

Every once in a while, an immigrant, legal or illegal, is going to kill people, intentionally or accidentally. Immigrants probably kill at lower rates than native born citizens. Are Afghan refugees inherently violent? I don't think so. The annual homicide rate in Afghanistan is 5 per 100,000 population, less than the USA, and a lot less than places like New Orleans, St. Louis and Washington D.C.

Ah. Still mudding the waters. But to point, what was this well designed and orderly fashion agreement? Does such an agreement come from dealing directly with the terrorist we had been fighting there for years? Surly such an agreement could have come from the officially recognized goverment that was there but, *gasp* was not present when dealing with said terrorist. And it seems that it was convenient for the melange one to have himself out of office when the dealings were to be complete. Surprising that an orange donut who claims to be a deal closer was nowhere to be found on the completion of. But I guess the results that occurred happen when you don't deal in good faith.

It is noted on many sources that immigrants commit crimes/killings on a smaller percentage than citizens as a whole. But don't waste your breath on a maggie stating and supplying stats.

How about this one - has the OP acknowledged that he posted false information in order to advance his MAGA narrative?
