“…Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reportersWednesday afternoon that President Donald Trump requested a deployment of 500 additional National Guard troops to Washington after news of the shooting.

“We will secure our capital. We will secure our city,” Hegseth said….”

Sorry just paused cooking and saw this — missed it in DC thread. I can merge them.

Shouldn't have been there. The injuries and potential death is on trump.

I bet I already know the motivation and who inspired the attack. And it will likely be the ones pointing fingers claiming someone else is the threat to democracy. Maybe I'm wrong....we'll see.

This isn't a threat to democracy. This is an asshole who needs to go to prison or, since it's federal, get the death sentence. I don't know the circumstances at all, but I don't see any justification that keeps him free. Might be enough to keep him alive.

Not surprised this happened. Feel bad for the Guardsmen and their families. They didn't ask to be there as part of Trump’s stupid shenanigans.

That’s one view. Another is that it is on the politicians and policies that have allowed DC to become one of the most crime ridden cities in the country.

Absolutely repulsive. Throw away the key then burn down the jail.

I think this is what most sensible people will believe and understand but we will see how this plays out.

His is somewhat connected to reality. You have the word of history's most voluminous liar.

What a terrible tragedy, but at least it brought our MAGA friends out of the woodwork. They’ve been incredibly quiet recently. Welcome back, guys!

This is why Trump put them out there. He wanted this to happen so that the people who have been dead fucking silent on this board for the past few weeks would crawl back out from under their rocks to his aid.

These Guardsmen deserve better leadership.

There are two possibilities here: lone crazy person (perhaps with an accomplice or two) trying to commit suicide by cop, or a false flag, Reichstag fire type of thing. The former is more likely, but either way -- it's 100% not an uprising or rebellion or anything the right-wing mouth breathing media is going to hyperventilate about.
