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.

The people that made the decision to kill them deserve to die.

You mean the Israeli government?

Or the ones who literally pulled the trigger

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

The inverse Nuremberg defence: "I was only giving orders"

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.

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