Capitol Police Arrest Gunman Carrying AR-15 Near US Senate

Capitol Police arrested a gunman near office buildings of the US Senate on Tuesday.

The armed man, who was reportedly carrying an AR-15, was taken into custody “in the park across from Union Station,” according to a Capitol Police statement.

Arrest photos show the assailant was wearing a tan sweatsuit with the logo “Boominati Worldwide,” a record label founded by the rap producer Metro Boomin.

“At this time we have no reason to believe there is an ongoing threat,” an updated statement read.

“We are working to gather more information and will put out more details when they are confirmed. We are investigating the subject’s belongings out of an abundance of caution.”

The alert followed an earlier message to members, staff, and press about the presence of a suspicious package “in the Upper Senate Park,” which is located directly north of the US Capitol building on the other side of Constitution Ave.

They advised all to avoid the area until around 3 p.m. when the package was cleared.

Tensions have remained high on the US Capitol complex following a pro-Palestinian rally in Washington, DC, on Saturday, during which tens of thousands of demonstrators marched and later swarmed the White House.

The protesters chanted “Allahu akbar” and “F–k Joe Biden,” calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip amid Israel’s war with Hamas terrorists.

They also pressed against the gates of the executive mansion and painted bloody handprints on its white brick, accusing the president of genocide for his administration’s ongoing support of the Jewish state.

    Hmmm

    A men carrying a gun (which assuming he had failed to suffer his way thru the endless red tape that the District uses to unconstitutionally infringe upon citizens 2nd amendment rights was procured, he wasn’t actually doing anything unconstitutional was he? After all, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed is not further defined by even one exemption, exception, limitation granting the government the right to infringe….

    Noticed how the person of interest is described as an “assailant”. The use of such an inflammatory and prejudicial description begs the obvious question: Who exactly did this man actually assail?

    Such clearly biased articles conveniently overlook one of the most basic tenants of US jurisprudence, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. The utter hypocrisy of such rhetorical duplicity given how often the rich, famous, powerful from both the public and private, sectors enjoy protection based upon this cornerstone of our “Justice system”. There are exceptions of course. If you are a Republican, a Pro-Palestinian and/or anti-israeli (yes you easily “pro-Palestinian without being “anti” anything else other than genocide, Apartheid, war crimes and crimes against humanity) then you essentially have little to no protections under “our” system of Gestopo justice now being foisted on the citizenry by joey’s handlers

    Finally, the circumstances and facts thus far published scream false flag given that no one in their right mind would act this way simply on his own volition and how perfectly such a “crime” supports the seditious, anti-gun fascists that are waging war against our unalienable rights, including but not limited to the 2nd Amendment.

    Hmmm

    For the Record: “Our Constitution and Bill of Rights contains no provision, nor mechanism, no possible way for “our” 3 branches of government to either collectively or individually, change or modify the unalienable rights contained there in.

    For example: the First, 2nd, and Fourth Amendments have one critically important commonality:

    NONE CONTAIN ANY EXEMPTIONS, EXCEPTIONS OR LIMITATIONS TO THE RIGHTS CODIFIED THERE IN!

    Specifically, no rule, regulation or procedure, no “executive order from the legislative branch, no “law” voted upon by the Legislative branch or ruling by the Judicial branch can overrule, suspend or supersede those enumerated and unalienable rights except upon a Declared war by Congress or formally declared stated of armed insurrection. (no people Jan 6 was not “armed” insurrection given that the FBI admitted under oath THAT NOT A SINGLE FIREARM WAS FOUND ON ANYONE ARRESTED THAT DAY!

    Sadly, in 2023 the only declared war and insurrection that exists in the United States is that being waged by the Government and Corporations against the citizenry…..
