Attack on Capitol: "Was not terrorist attack"

If this is a suicide by cop then there is no ideological goal.


FBI definitions:
International terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).

Domestic terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.

But jumping to conclusions is fun and if right, makes us look smart.

Just because he was Islamic doesn’t automatically mean he’s a ....forget it.

Lord. Why does DU so badly want it to be a white guy whenever something bad happens? And once it's not, everyone goes real, real quiet. Weird little sub-racism going on there.

People of all colors are sometimes screwed up. From the initial reports, sounds like the guy was in a pretty dark, depressive place. I wish he'd have gotten help instead of taking someone with him.

death supposedly at the hands of NOI members. Another case where
those who try to bring together rather than tear apart end up killed.

Come in all shapes and sizes.

Do you have knowledge they don’t have?

pretty much everyone comes in all shapes and sizes.

Of a young Nation of Islam follower?

Although one might find some right-wing ideology there, such as anti-Semitism. However, this individual seems to have been simply suffering multiple paranoid delusions (CIA, mind control, etc.).

Right winger, Drumpsters are desperately trying to resurrect their ideology into the mainstream. I fear they are targeting the most marginalized, and perhaps mentally susceptible to being swayed into enacting these criminal acts , resulting in their deaths as well as those tasked with protecting our legislators.

This demented man is not representative of anything but his own tortured mind. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
