The blood is all on Donald Trump's hand. These troops were ILLEGALLY in DC and have no reason to be there.
Donald Trump granted this man asylum, so once again, it's all Donald Trump's fault.
RIP Sarah.
downvoters are literally coping. Saber rattling idiots
Poor kid.
The Trump regime killed this woman by unnecessarily putting a military force in an exposed position to perform tasks for which they are ill-suited, just like the US did in Afghanistan. Now, they will callously wield her memory as a political tool to channel racism against Afghan refuges that had the audacity to assist in the US invasion of Afghanistan.
The message is clear: NEVER help the United States government, they will fuck you over just to satisfy the whims of rich narcissists.
Don't forget all the people they promised they'd protect in Afghanistan, promising to bring them and their family to USA in exchange for information and helping with interpretation, and as a result becoming an enemy of whichever terrorist organisation had a hold in the area. Just to leave them behind and forget everything about them.
Donald Trump murdered this woman, and did so during the intentional, knowing commission of other major crimes. Never, ever forget. Never, ever forgive.
There's a lot of Venezuelan fishermen he's already murdered that i frankly feel a lot more sorry for.
'Just following orders' is not an excuse accepted at Nuremberg.
Deployed on a bogus mission just to have this outcome. Ordered by a felon rapist president, who found bone spurs when it came time for his duty. He should also be sitting in a prison cell due to his insurrection activities. Instead, he gets to send youngsters to die for nothing.
He should have been put in front of a firing squad when he and Epstein raped a 13 year old girl. Then this would have never happened. Stolen justice.
I wonder in 20, 50, 100 years, how this will be taught in history class. If the truth will be told or if he will be remembered as the MAGA superstar that some people still believe he is. The fact that he was allowed a second term at all doesn't give me much hope.
If the truth will be told
Nope. Republicans tried to overthrow the government before and that was virtually erased.
Wow. Instead of Hitler and the nazis we nearly had Butler and the republicans.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and an angry mob will turn the ballroom into a guillotine room
Sad part is there are many reasons you could say he should be put in front of a firing squad for. I hate him more than should be possible.
They never found bone spurs, that was just the claim to get a 4f. I believe his personal doctor provided a note like many politically connected or wealthy families did.
More blood on the ruling class' hands.
I feel bad for their children who are going to have to collect.
She wouldn't have died if they weren't needlessly there in the first place.
She wouldn’t have died if she’d had the courage to refuse illegal orders.
Womp womp.
Which orders were illegal in this case?
Judge rules Trump’s DC National Guard deployment was illegal - POLITICO https://share.google/drgPRPfbvJQwEthBs
Is it your position that she was blissfully clueless of the fact that she was being sent to intimidate & terrorize her fellow citizens?
If she was a decent person, she'd be alive today.
Good riddance.
I was curious whether they were actually doing anything illegal. National guard can't actually do anything stateside besides disaster relief, so when they're activated for "unrest" they're just there to look scary or whatever. They literally don't do shit.
Another actually helpful lemming pointed out the deployment itself was illegal, but that wasn't even clear until the ruling because Trump literally is their commander. Him deploying other states' guards on title 10 orders is blatantly illegal, DC wasn't as clear cut.
Illegally deployed and Krasnov is thinking more suckers and losers for his fucked up agenda. Are these troops wearing body armor? Krasnov failed to examine the shooters visa extension.
Trump should be put to trail for this. Their blood is on his hands.
Put it on the list of his thousands of crimes
Nah, it’s Biden’s fault. Everything that’s happens now is Biden’s fault. Everything that happened during a Trump’s presidency is Biden’s fault.
Thanks Obama
they are already doing that by spreading "he came to us during biden administration".
he worked for us occupation forces in afghanistan and when they withdrew, they let people who worked for them to come to us to prevent them being executed on the spot by taliban. guess which master of deals fucked up the whole withdrawal process?
I’m not sure if I would want people that help occupying forces attack their own country to come to my country. It’s a very iffy situation 100% created by the warmongering neoliberals in the GOP and DNC.
Maybe our country shouldn't send those occupying forces next time then, but we did this time, and now the only decent thing for us to do is stand by the people our scumbag leaders put on the front lines of their foreign policy choices
Well let's do the reasonable thing and make sure no one with similar skin color to the shooter is ever allowed to immigrate here again
I’ll wager he couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out.
Who is "he"?
Trump. Who else??
Trump
It's those ILLEGALS faults that this West Virginian was killed by a Legal Resident in Washington DC! If ONLY ~~they Didn't Deploy West Virginians to DC for No Reason~~ ILLEGALS WERE EXTERMINATED she'd still be Alive!
womp womp~
can’t be an active foot soldier for fascism and expect me to care.
