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 know it makes me a terrible person. But I have trouble coming up with any response to this except “good. The time for bullshit words is over”
They were judged under the standard they themselves espoused.
They were very pro Trump. The kind of Israelis that celebrate the genocide.
I don’t necessarily believe that civilians are legitimate targets, but these two men, the government they served, and the government of the country they were killed in, are all extremely firm believers that they are.
Weak ass k/d ratio.
This is HORRIBLE! Doesn’t he know you’re ONLY allowed to Murder CHILDREN and BABIES otherwise you’re ANTI SEMETIC!
And to think, there are people around here who accuse me of not being a “real” leftist. Who but a leftist would post a page from from a webcomic that’s 90% text? Checkmate libs.
Any one who accuses some one else of not being a real leftist is probably a fed
I’m very conflicted on this. On the one hand, it is a good thing when genocide collaborators die, that’s two less to worry about, but on the other, this could serve as a catalyst for further Zionist crackdowns on free speech.
They were already cracking down. Did you forget what happened to the student protests?
Of course I haven’t, that’s what I’m referring to when I say further crackdowns. But cracking down is not a binary, and I think the cracking down worsening on account of these murders is a legitimate worry to have.
They were going to crackdown anyway. There is no form of effective resistance to Israel that they would not respond to with escalating violence
I understand the catch 22 of it. But they are already doing crackdowns, and even without this, they have already planned more crackdowns. So it means that being afraid/concerned about potential crackdowns only really helps the Zionists/fascists. Just like the Dems always being concerned about how the Republicans will react makes them not actually accomplish anything ever. Never bothered to force things like Roe v Wade into official law when they had chances and just kept it as just an up in the air thing. There are very much times and places for trying “good faith” efforts. But they mean nothing and get stomped on if you already know the other side is “bad faith” only.

The man who got shot had an active Twitter account. Very stand-up guy. Such a shame he got killed.
Won’t find me weeping for an active defender of genocide being put in the cemetary.
a innocent fella, such a tragedy 😔 anyways…
Ohnoanyways.gif
I mean he’s still a civilian and it it’s still murder but yeah hard to feel sad about it
He served in the IDF for three years before his current role. Now he worked diplomatically for the Apartheid to aid in ethnically cleansing all Palestinians.
It is truly terrible that this person who dedicated his life to dispossessing and murdering Palestinians was killed.
Literally the opposite of what I said. How do you go from ‘hard to feel sad about it’ to ‘ it’s truly terrible’?
Sounds like you struggle to read.
May I suggest your local library and some Goosebumps books to get you started? Work your way up from there.
Hey Goosebumps are great
Do you struggle with understanding sarcasm through text?
Well he was but a simple innocent civilian enthousiastically participating in the genocide of all Palestinians. Killing such an innocent person is inexcusable.
“You don’t understand, the people working on the Death Star just had a job to do and to follow its orders. It’s not any one of their fault that it blew up planets. RIP the brave workers on the Death Star I and Death Star II.”
Good point, and a perfect centrist take (not that I’m accusing you of being centrist). They should have a centrist viewing and commentary of the whole star wars series. Like mystery science theatre 3000.
? Who said he was innocent
Was he a civilian who was murdered or was he an active participant in a brutal mass murder of Palestinian women children and men, covered by countries which are participants in the genocide?
Anyways, the second amendment exists to combat tyranny.
Anyways, the second amendment exists to combat tyranny.
Just want to step in here and say that no interpretation of the second would cover a civilian killing a foreign diplomat, no matter how tyrannical 😂
He is by definition a civilian that was murdered. Legal definitions do not care about our political opinions. It appears to be very likely he was a civilian who deserved to be murdered but that does not change the definition
“waow waow waow waow waow”
They will spin this off for anti semitism. Nothing to do with genocide in Palestine. Thank God for whoever invented the cameras in cell phone that we could see the massacre around the world. Imagine how bad it was before smart phones were invented.
Good. Hopeful more happens to zionist scum in the future.
They need to be afraid to walk the streets.
Murder does not help our cause.
2 less zionists doesn’t hurt.
Please don’t murder anyone! I know the state is enacting violence on you everyday, but PLEASE for the love of god don’t murder! Just take it please, sit still and take the violence. Let your mothers, fathers, neighbors, friends, sisters, and brothers be taken away by the state. Do nothing.
Because not murdering has really helped our cause. What a joke.
Nah. It’s very easy to argue that murder is ethically wrong or unjustified but it certainly is effective.
What evidence is there that murder is effective in these circumstances?
That’s irony because I think bully’s are very afraid of getting hurt.
Yeah, what we need to do is ask them nicely. Like 500 times. Hold more peaceful marches. Keep marching and marching and getting beaten up by the police and never ever get any sanctions on Israel. That is surely going to achieve things.
In a just world they would be prosecuted by a proper legal body. When that is impossible then it become necessary to at least consider the need for vigilante justice.
That depends who and how often, as history has shown time and time again.
I don’t advocate murder, but saying it’s never effective is arguing with reality.
He didn’t say “it’s never effective”, just that it doesn’t help this cause. And he’s right.
Is he? It’s not obvious that he is.
Yeah. Prisoners, on the other hand…
What do you mean “our”? like “second minute hour”?
