Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum
A suspect is in custody after shooting dead two Israeli embassy staff outside a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday night.
The gunman, named by police as Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, approached a group of four people leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum and opened fire, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim.
Metropolitan police chief Pamela Smith said the shooter had been pacing outside the museum, which is steps away from the FBI’s field office, before the shooting.
After killing the pair, who officials said were a couple, he walked inside, where event security detained him. The suspect yelled: “Free, free Palestine,” after he was arrested, police said.
There’s nuance here. Janitors at an Israeli government building? Probably not. State department employees serving an overseas mission to represent and lobby for your genocide? Yeah.
And you’re sure that’s what they were doing.
By working there they were implicit in helping the mission there so yes. I wouldn’t have joined the German Embassy in 1941 even as a functionary unless I was a Nazi.
And if they joined before Oct 7th 2023?
So what if someone works for the US DHS, FBI, or the foreign service? Guilty?

This is the stupidest edgelord take of all edgelord takes.
This guy is a certifiable fucking dumbass.
So you’re all for gunning down anyone working for the US government in the street.
Cool.
