2 National Guard Members shot near White House

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.

Farragut Square and the Farragut North Metro Station are not high crime areas. Similar to the other areas in DC that the National Guard is “patrolling.”

No reason to have Guardsmen in the heavily touristed areas of DC.

No reason to have them there at all.

Which 10 cities have the highest crime rate?


The cities with populations of 250,000 or more with the highest violent crime rates were, in order: Memphis, Oakland, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, Kansas City, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Albuquerque and Minneapolis, according to Stateline's analysis of FBI data.

Not expected but probably should have been considered. Plenty of refugees here that could have a bit of a chip on their shoulder against people in uniform.

“…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….”

Maybe Pete should activate himself to lead the troops. Believe he is a National Guard honcho. Opportunity to show ‘em how to display those medals correctly.

It shouldn’t matter who did the shooting. It was a POS.

 

[tarheelbillie]

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.

They deserve to be home with their families .
