Perfectly good billionaires and hundred millionaires all over the place, and someone's taking pot shots at guardsmen?
Unbelievable.

The occupying force in DC?
Sucks to suck. Hope the tuition money was worth it.

Yeah I'm not mourning them. Just feel like the rounds could've been better spent. I expect the person you're replying to thinks similarly.

Aren’t shootings pretty common in America? Was a matter of time a soldier got shot rather than a kid at school.

Such a tragedy. Maybe we should staple children to them, so this doesn't happen again?

I'm surprised that the person apprehended is actually not a right winger...

Source on his political leanings? I haven't seen anything confirmed yet

No source, but he's a refugee from Afghanistan. Not the most likely "white American trash Nazi" material. Even if he were a conservative type in his worldview.
