A George Soros-backed District Attorney sparked backlash after blaming the mass shooting at Virginia's Old Dominion University (ODU) on firearms advocates.
Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney Ramin Fatehi told a press conference that the attack, in which two people, including the gunman, died and two more were injured, was the fault of the 'pro-gun lobby.'
'This is not an ODU problem. This is a national sickness,' he said.
'We live in a country where people care more about guns than they care about six-year-old children.
'They care more about guns than they care about synagogue worshipers,' he added, apparently referencing yesterday's shooting at Temple Israel in Michigan. 'And they care more about guns than they do about college students.'
The prosecutor pointed at the police officers who joined him at the press conference, saying that it did not matter 'how hard' they worked to stop tragedies like the Virginia shooting.
'Somebody will be a victim eventually,' he said.
Despite his remarks drawing outrage among conservatives on social media, Fatehi doubled down when confronted by Fox News.
'I absolutely stand by what I said. It is the truth, no matter how much the gun lobby wants to deny it,' he said.
The shooter in Thursday's attack in Virginia was identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, 36, a former National Guardsman who was convicted for supporting ISIS in 2015.
Jalloh, a US citizen originally from Sierra Leone, was released from prison in 2024 during the Biden administration after being caught attempting to hand information to ISIS and ISIL.
Fatehi's remarks about the blame for the attack drew backlash from conservatives, but the prosecutor offered a derisive response to his critics to the Daily Mail on Friday.
'Internet trolls are angry and delusional? Stop the presses!' Fatehi said.

I think Islamic terrorism from radical Islamists played a more important part, retard.
Fatchi is FOS.
The Left only cares about the Constitution when they can use it as a calumny against their political opponents.
Well, there IS this:
“Court documents show less than two years after Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was released from prison for attempting to aid the Islamic State”
“A naturalized citizen with a criminal record generally faces the same federal firearm restrictions as a native-born citizen. Convicted felons are federally prohibited from owning firearms”
Here’s a clue. George Soros is the problem. I wish we could call a spade a spade w/this guy.
Huh ... that name sounds a bit jihady ...
Looks like he's trying to ensure a safe working environment for his fellow mohammedan murderers, rapists, and thieves.
Seriously??
Excuse me, the man was on probation. He WAS subject to gun control.
The mission statement of the democrat party. It's not like they hide it. The only thing they try to hide is the money trail.
“Attorney Ramin Fatehi”
Why is it that here in America we have so many attorneys and judges that are foreign or foreign named????????
Also, most are leftists and/or Islamists......
Attorney Ramin Fatehi is funded by…….. Soros.
No Islam is to blame.
Imagine you’re a public official in the US and you know you’re going to be in the national spotlight for about 15 seconds and this is the mind numbing asinine stupid stuff you come up with. It’s almost anti-American.
Uh, last I checked, firearms require operators.
The Terrorist Soros and his associates need to go down
Listen to him. He’s a Georgey Soros butt boy, Ramin Fatehi who was too chickesh*t to fight for his own country. The yellow bass turd ran away to America. Deport his ass.
I can see why this foreigner would want Americans disarmed. His 3rd world buddies get a free field of easy victims.
To be fair Mr. DA, it’s not white folks running around shooting people in Norfolk , it’s not and you know it.
The city just recently announced the closing of MacArthur Mall. Black gang bangers having shootouts inside the mall is bad for business, who knew ?
In cases of school shootings committed by adolescents, over 80% of the guns are stolen. A study of adolescent school shooters found that 42% of the guns were stolen from relatives, while 30% were obtained from the street/illegal market and 22% from friends. Meaning 94% of the guns used in these shootings were either stolen, illegally purchased, or borrow from friends so they shouldn’t have them. Now just how are the police that are being hammered with false media along with being cut down due to budgeting or political actions going to control that?
And generalizing what citizens care about is idiotic. He has no idea what people think. He didn’t ask me. Did he ask you?
