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

Officers arrested the armed man “in the park across from Union Station,” according to a Capitol Police statement.

“At this time we have no reason to believe there is an ongoing threat,” the statement read. “We are working to gather more information and will put out more details when they are confirmed.”

In a separate alert, officers alerted members, staff and press to the presence of a suspicious package “in the Upper Senate Park.”

They advised all to avoid the area until further notice

Rather convenient situation to keep the protestors away from the Capitol.

Why the inflamatory headline if he was not shooting?

They’re going to be disappointed. If the gunman was white or conservative, that information would have been in the original report and his identity would already have been released. The only time the press uses the generic word “gunman” is when they desperately want to ignore inconvenient truth.

Was he simply exercising his 2a rights in a non-2a right zone?

It’s not just a black male, but he’s also so disheveled that he looks like he’s been living in that park. Where did a derelict like this get an AR? I would say that it screams FBI setup, except that they usually try to use a white guy for maximum propaganda value.

Of course ... there's a lot of talk, based on opinion polls (spit), about black folks abandoning the democrats for Trump. Fedbois gotta stop that nonsense by any means necessary. Make him scary ... drive the < insert word LBJ used to describe them > back to Big Mama Democrat.

I wouldn't either which is why I haven't been there in many years.

I’m 63. A trip to the Air and Space museum in DC has always been on my list. After J6, no way in hell.
