WASHINGTON (AP) — Police locked down the U.S. Capitol on Friday afternoon after a report of gunshots in the area.

U.S. Capitol Police say all Capitol buildings were being locked down “due to an external security threat” and staff members were told they could not enter or exit the buildings.

Yup. The narrative was intentionally set that it was an “armed insurrection” and therefore set in stone even though it was neither “armed” nor and “insurrection.”

So...will as much be made about this officer being murdered, since the killer was black...or will the main narrative still be the officer “supposedly killed by white supremacists?”

Kind of like when they shoot Superman and the bullets just bounce off of him but when they throw a gun at him he ducks. It’s been suggested for a long while to just get several bags of guns and have the criminal mastermind’s henchmen throw the guns at Superman keeping him ducked down for the entire criminal act.

I know. I have been watching only Fox News and even they are somewhat befuddled about how to label this. Other than they immediately labeled it a “lone-wolf” incident. Whenever it’s a person of color...it’s a lone wolf. When it’s a lone white guy, it is a terrorist, militia, white supremacist group that is responsible. And understand, I’m not blaming anyone for this one but the long black guy. But the communist media never gives us (white folk) that same consideration.

My guess is a Syrian “immigrant”.

The “knife” was described as machete-like.
Whose M.O. is that?? Let’s ask London, shall we?

a fence isnt going to stop bullets. best put up a concrete wall. better safe than sorry.

Give the Capitol the full West Berlin look. The Berlin Wall started as barricades and barbed wire fencing before being replaced with a masonry wall.

My statements on the Satanic Deep State Cabal are sometimes made with sarcasm and dark humor.

It’s a coping mechanism I developed while facing the ugly reality we are in fact “governed” predominantly by homosexuals, pedophiles, transvestites, and other sinister creeps.

Which statement were you referencing?

From the photo above...and when I saw the video live on FoxNews...it clearly is a non-white person. It looks like a young black male, but it very well could be a person of Middle-Eastern descent. Definitely not a white supremacist.

“Definitely not a white supremacist.”

But CNN will probably be waiting to see any indications that the perp was identifying as a white supremist today.

Ah, OK.

So it wasn’t some skittish hand-wringer on NextDoor, after all.

If that picture is any indication, this story will be going away even faster than the Sooper shooting.
