"Benjamin Erickson, the man in custody for Saturday's deadly shooting, has been pictured for the first time.
A LinkedIn profile for the suspect notes that he served as an infantry soldier in the US Army, where he passed sniper training, had experience with different types of firearms and served as a rifleman from 2021 through 2024.
For his service, Erickson received a good conduct medal, his LinkedIn page shows.
It also states that he participated in 'security duties' near the president and assisted with funeral ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery.
The LinkedIn page further notes that he was open to volunteering opportunities - listing a variety of causes from animal welfare, civil rights, gender equity, public safety and refugee and migrant support."
Biting my tongue and going with the 48 Hour rule here. ("A good conduct medal?" Was he awarded an Honorable discharge? Or General discharge under honorable conditions? Writer with no military back ground. )
BREAKING: Brown University mass shooter yelled “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire on campus according to sources.
How come the media is suppressing eye witness testimony about how the shooter at Brown University allegedly shouted Allahu Akbar before he opened fire on campus the night before the first night of Hanukkah? The media is only saying “he shouted something” before he opened fire. Source tells me he yelled Allahu Akbar, but it’s being kept quiet by police and the Democrats who run Rhode Island.

Looks like he had all the bases covered. *SPIT*
Which way will the Enemy Media spin this, I wonder? (No, I don’t wonder...)
Obviously he is conveniently white... that should be adequate for Rhode Island! Just ask Senator Whitehouse ... who redirected govt funds to an NGO run by him --> Shazam❗ He is a $$$ millionaire. 🤔 hmmmm curious... 😂😂😂
