Suspect Shoots Two Jewish Embassy Staff Dead In Cold Blood… Guess What Slogan He Chanted
There's a difference between 'protest' and transplanting foreign hatreds to US soil
One of the things that makes America work is an unspoken adage: If you’re going to come to the New World, leave your Old World grievances behind.
And it’s about time we start learning to tell the difference between peaceful political protest and violent agitation. Because America is now seeing an uptick in the exact kind of targeted racial violence over political questions that has normally been something we’d have to turn to international news sources to see.
Two people who had just been going about their day were shot dead in cold blood. Why? Because other people are upset about a conflict half a world away. Because these people had a connection to the hated ethnic group half a world a way, the guy with a gun decided they had to die.
A man has opened fire on a group of people outside a Jewish museum in Washington, DC, killing two Israeli embassy staff.
The victims were a man and a woman who were exiting the Capital Jewish Museum at about 9pm, local time.
“Prior to the shooting, the suspect was observed pacing back and forth near the museum,” Pamela Smith, the Washington Police Department chief, said.
“He approached a group of four people, produced a handgun and opened fire, striking both of our deceased.”
She said the suspect then entered the museum, where he was detained by event security. — ABC Australia
He went into the museum lobby, pulled out a keffiyah, and chanted (what else?) “Free Palestine.”
The victims he killed? A man and his fiancee who were soon to be married.
But this story has an unexpected twist.
If you were expecting the suspect to have a decidedly Middle Eastern name… you would be wrong. Nor does the guy who was arrested after the fact have any connection to that part of the world.
He’s a guy from Chicago with the very UN-Arabic last name ‘Rodriguez’. If internet sleuths have the right guy, he’s not just a leftist, but he has a role in making sure the oppressed/oppressor mind-virus of grievance and anger continues spreading into whoever will receive that message of scapegoating and blame.
If those internet sleuths have the right guy, this kind of hatred for ‘oppressors’ has been brewing for a long time.
It’s too bad Biden’s FBI was relying on the hopelessly partisan SPLC to do their research for them to identify who the ‘real’ violent threats in America were. Otherwise this clown might have been caught before he shot some diplomats dead in cold blood.
And why is that innocent couple dead? Was that a personal grievance between two parties? No.
Some international agitator group or another has poured boatloads of money into astroturfing protests in schools around the world, and people with no dog in the fight are internalizing the hatred to the point that they somehow think that murdering an embassy staffer in cold blood is ‘changing the world’ for the better.
It’s not just about Israel, either.
The people behind this movement wants to do more than destroy Israel… they want to wipe out America, too.

If Dems are so hellbent on looking for a ‘threat to democracy’, they might want to look among their own supporters.
