Washington Post breaking news: DC Guard killer was vetted by both National Counterterrorism Center and the CIA

[Conservative from Georgia]

Democrats and Republicans have been arguing over whether the DC killer of guard members was vetted before entering USA. We now have the answer, from the Washington Post. Additionally, the Trump administration investigated him as well:

“A key question from critics has been whether any evacuees managed to enter the U.S. without proper vetting. Lakanwal, however, would not have been among them, according to the individuals, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

“One of the individuals said Lakanwal was vetted years ago, before working with the CIA in Afghanistan, and then again before he arrived in the U.S. in 2021. Those examinations involved both the National Counterterrorism Center as well as the CIA, the person said.
Lakanwal was also granted asylum earlier this year, a process that would have brought its own scrutiny, according to #AfghanEvac, a coalition that supported the relocation effort — an assertion the White House did not dispute.”

Democrats were correct:

Trump administration approved his asylum back in April of this year, after all, he had the backing of the Counterterrorism Center, as well as the US Central Intelligence Agency. What could go wrong?

Same thing thay could go wrong with any human being. Sometimes people snap.

The West is going to have to come to the conclusion that some places in the world produce individuals who either aren't compatible with Western values or worse, are promoting hatred for the West.

200,000 Afghan refugees. One crime of note.

A criminal in the Oval Office.

Is that place the Bronx?

Like America. Look at those American mass shooters.

That doesn't change the general sentiments from the region.

Also, cut down on the communists from China. Absurd to allow 600k from that country. That's a far worse threat to a nation if you ask me. They were bringing in eco-terror to poison your food.

Right, let's not let facts get in the way of a good, xenophobic rant.

Bring in communists and those raised to hate America at your own peril.

Don't pretend it's the same as an immigrant from Switzerland.

I treat everyone equally...based on the type of system they arise from

I'm not sure how a man who helped the US forces against radical Islamists qualifies as any of that.

Based on the reports about what he yelled before he shot them it seems he either turned or was never trustworthy to begin with.

Out of 200,000 Afghan refugees?

This is a fine example of the psychological weaknesses of the human mind.

Recency Bias is one you should read about.

Something made him snap, apparently. It happens all the time.
Probably hearing all the lies about how Trump is Hitler and a "fascist" and a "Nazi" and how having the National Guard in the city is "just like the Gestapo" or some such bullshit.
Or maybe he was paid.
Or maybe he was always a radical but kept it hidden.
Who knows?
More will come out.
But this is another example of letting far too many people into your sovereign land who haven't been thoroughly vetted.

Islam is a murder religion antithetical to all Western Values.

1 Afghan out of 200,000 Afghan refugees.

Maybe members of the Trump family should start marrying Afghan refugees, to lower the Trump family crime rate.
