The shooting took place late Wednesday outside the Capital Jewish Museum, which was hosting an American Jewish Committee event at the time of the incident.

US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the deaths in an X post, saying, “We are actively investigating and working to get more information to share.”

The suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriquez of Chicago, Illinois, “chanted 'Free, free Palestine,’ while in custody,” she added.

        I meant both lol if someone ordered to kill them and someone pulled the trigger then they both deserve to be held responsible.

        Y’all are rabid in this post though.

            Lmao yeah okay, what part of the person who made the order and the person who pulled the trigger deserve to be held responsible makes it a defense for them?

            Not all Israeli people are fucking bad. Just as not all American’s are Trump or support him. Now provide objective evidence that they personally committed atrocities, hold them responsible.

            Saying they support said atrocities? That’s bad and I don’t support that shit but people don’t deserve to die because they’re misguided or say the wrong thing.

            Now did saying a thing result in an atrocity or further one? Yeah hold them accountable and bring their asses to justice.

            I’m not saying that I support or defend Nazi’s because I fucking hate nazi’s like Musk, Trump, & Netanyahu, I’m just saying that I believe in the rule of law and believe that everyone should have their day in court to be judged and held accountable.

            I guess that makes me a Nazi defender, I’d say that it just makes anyone who thinks I’m wrong in believing people should be held accountable for their crimes and not just killed a radical extremist.

              When the “rule of law” will never touch these pieces of trash, the people will take it into their own hands

      This just guarantees dropping nuclear bombs so long as it’s just the one guy who pressed the button who will go to court.

      There is no evidence that Adolf Hitler ever personally executed anyone. Yet I do hold him accountable for the triggers getting pulled.
