The DC murders: we're on our own
American Thinker ^ | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 05/25/2025 6:27:38 AM PDT by MtnClimber

May 21, 2025, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. Yaron Lischinsky, 30 and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26 were brutally murdered. They were soon to be engaged and were employees of the Israeli Embassy in DC. Elias Rodriguez shot them both and they collapsed. Badly wounded, Sarah tried to crawl away. Rodriguez approached and standing over them, fired multiple rounds into their backs, killing them. The probable cause affidavit indicates Rodriquez fired 21 9mm rounds and may have reloaded at least once.

Rodriguez, a Chicago resident, was well known to Chicago police as a leftist agitator. He is reported to have killed Lischinsky and Milgrim, who he apparently did not know, in support of Hamas, and when taken away by police, yelled “free, free Palestine.”

During my teaching days, in discussions of morality (sparked by the literature we were reading), I told them the tale of Kitty Genovese. In March 13, 1964, in New York City, she was attacked on the street outside her apartment building and stabbed in the back. She screamed for help, and at least one neighbor yelled at the attacker who ran away. Over a half hour, the police were called, but assigned a low priority to the call as the killer returned, raped and robbed her and left again. An ambulance finally arrived, but Genovese died.

Among the parts of the story that persist are indications neighbors asked why they didn’t intervene replied “I didn’t want to get involved.” Whether that’s true is beside the point.

The killer was caught not long afterward in another crime and confessed to killing Genovese. He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was later changed to life and he died in prison after a half century.

That both crimes took place in anti-liberty/gun

His instigators need to be tracked down for due processing.

We’re all facing a divided country, a country with a “resistance” determined to rule us all, a resistance encouraging violence and assassination.

What the murder of Milgrim and Lischinsky teaches is we’re on our own. We always have been, and when we need them, neither

Typical bullies. They want the ability to bully and the victims to be unable to respond.

If violence is good enough for them, then they need to be able to take what they dish out.

Blue cities are best avoided, period.

Already a dead story b/c the shooter wasn't a MAGA Trump supporter and the media couldn't link him to White Supremacy.

“What the murder of Milgrim and Lischinsky teaches is we’re on our own.”

This is true for everyone everywhere.

Always has been.

I wonder if Soros DAs will get involved. You know they would love to dismiss the charges.

There was a great article in American Thinker yesterday about your God-given right to preserve your life and your right to carry arms for self-defense.

It's relevant to these horrific killings in DC. Worth reading.

Right! Gun control, seriously?

I mean, with their ‘soft on Pro-Hamas’ creeps, Washington is like Dodge City now.

**Kitty Genovese**

I remember it well. There was a movie (LADY IN A CAGE) in which a woman is trapped in a home elevator while thugs ransack her home. Screams and alarms for help are ignored by passersby. I felt that was a reminder of the Kitty Genovese murder.

A Bill Ayers Weather Underground POS toxic weed castoff? Evil's tentacles? ... Just a guy in the neighborhood? Maybe one of those much vaunted New York times TDS idiots like Eric Lipton can look into this - find where the energy is coming from that fuels Rodriguez and his liberal evil murderers? Don't count on it - "prizes" only go to those who hunt Republicans.
