#3 Antifa? Autistic? Mentally ill? Grad student? Transgender?

More than one of the above?

#4 "Kalin says people came to his aid and brought him water, thinking he needed help, without realizing he was the suspect in the shooting, which killed two Israeli Embassy employees."

"Fog of War" mixed with "Suicidal Empathy" ?

#6 Drop him into Gaza from 3000 ft.

#7 That would be too quick a demise, Airandee.

Dropping from 200-300 feet might prolong the suffering.

#9 “This event was about humanitarian aid,” Kalin says. “How can we actually help both the people in Gaza and the people in Israel? How can we bring together Muslims and Jews and Christians to work together to actually help innocent people?

Currently I'm busy - working on Perpetuum mobile. Once I'll finish, I'll answer your questions.

#10 I noticed the victims were to be married. Perhaps there was a love triangle?

probably not.

#11 Manifesto:

Lengthy online statement appears to be manifesto by DC shooting suspect

A statement posted on X Wednesday night appears to be a manifesto signed by someone with the same name as the suspect in a deadly shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. It has not been verified.

The approximately 900-word statement — written in the clear language of an English major, dated May 20 and published online around the same time the shooting occurred — mentions the high death toll in Gaza and notes the ineffectiveness of nonviolent protests against Israel, including the self-immolation of US Air Force serviceman Aaron Bushnell. It also expresses dissatisfaction with American support for Israel.

The essay ends with what appears to be a defense of “the morality of armed demonstration,” with the author — purporting to be Elias Rodriguez, the arrested suspect in the shooting — claiming that his actions would have been morally justified even if taken in response to the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas, which is when he says he became aware of the conflict. He expresses the belief that his actions will now be viewed by many Americans as “highly legible” and “the only sane thing to do.”

It is posted by an account rife with violent anti-Israel sentiments, including references to taking violent actions against Israelis and a “joke” about bombing the New York Times. It also includes messages in support of Hamas and Hezbollah. Several posts reference Chicago, where the suspected shooter was born and raised.

#13 Timing could not have been better. Just about when Trump was about to turn traitor, we all get an object lesson about why you can't do deals with Muslims. They're a death cult and cannot be reasoned with. Be they in Qatar, Iran, Lebanon, or USA.
The location was perfect, too. The museum will be flooded with attention and people will see what Israel is fighting for.
