A man shot and killed himself after driving into a vehicle barricade near the US Capitol Building early Sunday morning, US Capitol Police said.

The incident happened shortly after 4 a.m. ET, when the man drove his car into a barricade at East Capitol Street and Second Street. He then exited his car, which became “engulfed in flames,” and fired several shots into the air, Capitol Police said in a statement.
He then fatally shot himself when authorities approached him. There were no additional injuries and the man’s name was not immediately released, according to the statement.
“At this time, it does not appear the man was targeting any Members of Congress, who are on recess, and it does not appear officers fired their weapons,” the statement read. “Our investigators are looking into the man’s background.”

Anyone surprised? Right wing media winds these people up, points them at a target and then washes its hands of any responsibility….

It’s called stochastic terrorism, you can get people killed without getting your hands dirty yourself…. and not be held legally responsible for your crimes.

There is a reason that right wing domestic terrorism is the largest terrorist threat to Americans… Right wing politicians and media have carefully put this threat in place, they built it up piece by piece so the terrorists could be called upon in times like this.

Pro-tip: When you _think_ you have discovered a way to get through bullet-proof glass, try it out in your garage before attempting to apply it in an attack on the FBI.

Thank god Trump supporters tend to be incompetent failures.

I remember back in 2015 or 2016 when poor old TB was soooo indignant when I pointed out the terrorist tendencies within the GOP…
