  1. America is the twilight zone…lol still unexplained because the government staged it. 😏

  2. Turns out in that small apartment with few decorations, a Nation of Islam poster is prominently displayed. And as it turns out, the DC Sniper (Beltway Sniper) from 2002, John Muhammad, who changed his name from John Allen Williams was also a member of the Nation of Islam. Coincidence? I think not.

  3. Hmmmmm, no mention of race, we all know what that means. Another subway shooter.

  4. Nation of Islam poster on the wall.

  5. I think Putin has to do w it he treat us already!

  6. The shooter doesn't appear to be white. Darn it again! Libs just can't catch a break lately.

  7. Guy is such a. Noob glad he died what a loser he couldn’t bother to be precise and inflict more casualties just firing randomly was a waste of ammo he’s no sniper he’s a cod player

  8. The Pro-Crime Pro-Pedophilia Democrat Woke Cult has pushed their degeneracy and Woke Rage to every part of our country.
    And, just wait, they will claim they have the solution for the violence they created.

  9. 1:35 she doesn’t know wtf she’s talking about.

  10. no mention of his colour and the msn seem to have ignored this story,wonder why

  11. A motive? Unfortunately, as our world becomes more toxic with fake food, drugs, heavy metals, poor water quality, and so many unnatural life styles, we should only expect more of this kind of violence. This isn't a gun issue, its a morality issue that will continue as the incel population grows larger and the family unit is destroyed. Society is constantly bombarded with violence by wars, social media, gaming, and Hollywood. So get use to it, its only going to get worse. Mark my words, prepare to protect what and who you care for.

  12. Netflix having an entire catagory dedicated to filth like this, cloaked under the title documentary is inspiring a lot of terrible people.

  13. Ha they all survived. Tell him that. 12 atempted murder charges how long is that? Thats like 70 years and they are all still alive. He'll be in jail for the rest of his life, and everyone else is free and alive.

  14. now cops are sniping us…..

  15. Alert !! Supreme Court and DOJ are compromised!

    The world has greater peril from those who tolerate evil, like the DOJ, than from Trump and his fellow insurrectionist!

    Trump Not Been Indicted because
    1. the DOJ really wants to let Trump go
    2. DOJ Garland is afraid of what might happen to himself
    3. DOJ Garland is afraid to do his job and wants others to Pursue Trump in Civil Court
    DOJ Garland may want to offer Trump a plea deal to avoid jail time and get Garland off the hook from having to prosecute Trump.

    DOJ Garland
    promised to hold Trump insurrectionists accountable, but he has not for the leaders and he is not cooperating with all other justice departments.
    Garlands plan is to wait out the clock so he can say, oh we just couldn't get to it in time.

    NY DA Bragg
    Will not arrest trump for crimes his office has well documented.

    NY Judge
    will a NY judge hold Trump on contempt charges? probably not

    There are actually some brave people trying to punish Trump, but he is hard to reach.

    we want accountability for the following –

    1. meadows doesnt appear in front of commission that is contempt of congress… doj wont arrest him is unethical. he didn't appear, what more evidence is needed? ……DOJ Failed
    mark meadows says he lived in a n. Carolina mobile home he has never lived in. what would a multimillionaire be doing living in a mobile home…..what a cheat, but he is being investigated for this voter fraud crime.

    2. "hang mike pence"…criminal threat……DOJ Failed
    3. offering pardons… witness tampering……DOJ Failed
    4. inciting violence Jan 6 ……DOJ Failed

    5. ToiletGate – trump destroyed government documents and took secret documents home after losing his job! see presidential records act for details of the law he violated. It is well documented that Trump stole secrete document from the White House.

    6. interfering with elections……DOJ Failed
    7. contempt of congress……DOJ Failed
    8. fake electors ……DOJ Failed

    9. kelly ward and spouse and others, impersonating as government electors even after Barr and Pence said one could not do that……DOJ Failed

    10. Jeffrey Clark – co-conspirator for trying to weaponized the department of justice to overturn the election

    11. Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act applies to what Trump did.

    By summer time, Georgia will enter phase 2 of their prosecution efforts for election interference…… how slow.

    12. what about enforcing the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the United States? get rid of Cawthorn under section 3 of the 14th Amendment

    13. muller investigation……DOJ Failed…. statue of limitation expired!
    14. Will New York speak with Trump under oath? No because of corruption. New York DOJ appears to be supporting Trumps so dont expect progress there!

    alvin bragg is another DA that supports Trumpism. Trump committed a crime and is not being prosecuted. New York should remove bragg from office.

    actions speak louder than speculation, at this time I am convinced Garland wont prosecute Trump or any top insurrectionist. Only time will reveal why! in time Trump will be mentally broken or dead and then this insurrection nonsense will slowly die too. how sad that some people get away with murder!

    virgina thomas, wife of supreme court justice Clarence Thomas is an insurrectionist too. it was discovered that she was pushing for the election overthrow. Ginni Thomas, the conservative activist who’s married to Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed Trump’s White House chief of staff to pursue efforts to overturn the 2020 election

    "This is a fight of good versus evil. Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. MEADOWS TEXT TO THOMAS

    no major arrest for seditious conspiracy leaders. The disgraced former president Trump, Trumps chief of staff, and a gang of congressional members in the House and Senate continue to conspired to undermine American democracy.

    …Putin = Trump
    Trumpism is a support for Putin. Wake up and Lock Trump up and support freedom.

    Stop The Steal – Don't let Trumps steal our Democracy and make us like Russia!
    Democracy will FAIL if Trump doesn't get indicted!

    save us from Trumpism!

    ..trump is evil
    ..dont let hate win

  16. How can they be sure the dead man was the shooter and not another victim staged to appear to be the shooter? Don’t mean to be alarmist, but I hope that can be ruled out.

  17. So race not mentioned! So not a white guy…? Just a guessing!

  18. Blame the gun not the person. That’s like blaming gas chambers and not Hitler. Democrats are so dumb.

  19. Crazy people are going to do crazy things. Arming yourself is the only way to best protect what's yours.

  20. when you have sick deranged people and a country what continues to make weapons of mass destruction you don't need a motive

  21. Makes me wanna buy another gun…

  22. He's a Trump supporter, that's his motive.

  23. Police found him dead next to his MAGA hat…

  24. At least he killed himself.

  25. Until today Stephan Paddock Las Vegas shooter 2017 : Had No Motives in his action according US authority. Now US authority face DC shooting 2022, and were trying to find out 'motive of the shooter ?'

  26. Where is the cry about incels?
    Where is the blaming parents and privilege?

    oh wait the shooter isnt White.

  27. Not a very good shot.Could be Stevie Wonder

  28. You can never remove the easy access in weapons, ever. Instead for going after consequences you should fix the cause for people feel so bad. Nine needs that every human being craves (not in order)
    *Sustainability (food, water, air, shelter)
    *safety
    *love
    *rest, play, recreation
    *greativity
    * loving community
    * emphaty
    * autonomy
    * purpose of life

  29. They are really pushing the "GUN LAW" fake set up crimes narrative huh. Must he the left and the LGBQT community 🌈
    We should send Kyle Rittenhouse

  30. That vaccine…. I blame the Vax.
    Oh. Did YOU take the Vax? Oh well… I didn't.
    Look at me https://youtu.be/PMq5ZUovlpE

  31. Muriel Bowser created this s*** show with her hard left partisanship in DC. Go ahead Muriel, Make My Day. You denigrated the police, you took away their funding, you personally demonized them, while you played with you warm fuzzy friends in BLM. Well now you have gotten exactly what anyone with a brain would have known you would get, rampant crime.

  32. We need sensible firearms legislation ….now !!

  33. What's motivation? Perhaps they mean mental health crisis or maybe nothing to lose? People don't just wake up and be like "Man I feel like Killing today".

  34. This person was not a sniper he wasted all those public resources and time. Couldn’t bring on mass casualty to none but himself.

  35. Only because of where it happened in dc is why it is televised. I live in s.e. d.c. and it always sounds like afganistan here. Never blasted on the news like this.

  36. Seems like a scene from every assassin movie ever made.

  37. This looks like it was placed right out of a movie
