How did Greenblatt/ADL miss out on this "white" supremacist?

Anyone who thinks this is just random crime in DC needs to read CP's post.

I originally said I consider it an act of terrorism. (I admittedly pivoted a little bit a little later, but after reading the manifesto, my original statement is correct.)

BREAKING: DC 'free Palestine' shooting suspect charged with first-degree murder, praised Luigi Mangione, posted 'Death to America': report

Quote:The man accused of shooting a couple from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC this week reportedly posted praise for Luigi Mangione and wrote "death to America," as well as "I voted for Hamas" on social media. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

A criminal complaint states that Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, as well as two counts of first-degree murder.

According to the New York Post, federal authorities are working to connect a social media account reportedly linked to Rodriguez, law enforcement sources told the outlet. Rodriuez, a socialist activist and yelled "Free, free Palestine" as police were taking him into custody, was arrested for the killing of Yaron Lischinsky as well as his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The couple was set to get engaged next week.

Posts from the X account have praised Luigi Mangione as the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as well as other political violence. The social media account, with the handle of @kyotoleather, posted at the beginning of 2024, “Happy New Year. Death To Israel."

One post claimed that “80% of the country applauds the targeted annihilation of a healthcare insurance exec," apparently arguing to support Mangione's actions. When Trump won in November, the account posted to X, "Don't blame me, I voted for Hamas."

Another post from December 2024 stated, "Violence does not have to happen, but if it does, then it should.” In another post, the account wrote, “De@th 2 Amerikkka.”

Deputy Director for the FBI Dan Bongino wrote in a post regarding the investigation into Rodriguez that authorities were trying to authenticate writings. "The FBI is aware of certain writings allegedly authored by the suspect, and we hope to have updates as to the authenticity very soon," he wrote.

Authorities said that Rodriguez was seen outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, DC and then approached a group, shooting the couple at point-blank range.

He repeatedly yelled “Free, free Palestine as he was taken into custody. “Once in handcuffs, the suspect identified where he discarded the weapon, and that weapon has been recovered, and he implied that he committed the offense,” Police Chief Pamela Smith said.

FBI Special Agent's Affidavit Reveals the 'Depravity and Callousness' of Israeli Embassy Worker Murders

Quote:Both federal and local Washington, DC criminal charges have been filed against Elias Rodriguez, the self-admitted murderer of two Israeli embassy officials, in the US District Court for the District of Columbia. Federal charges against Rodriguez include murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. He is also facing two counts of first-degree murder in DC.

FBI Special Agent Christina Hagenbaugh submitted an affidavit in support of those charges that "expose the depravity and callousness of the murders," according to attorney Marina Medvin. Medvin added, "He didn't just kill Sarah and Yaron- he made sure to finish them. He followed Sarah as she crawled away in agony after he shot her. He followed her and shot her again. He shot her from the back. He executed her in cold blood."

Hagenbaugh and Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers reviewed surveillance footage of the exterior of the Capital Jewish Museum from immediately before and during the shooting. According to the footage, Rodriguez shot Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in the back as they prepared to cross the street.

Lischinsky, identified as Decedent-2 in the affidavit, was declared dead at the scene. Milgrim, identified as Decedent-1 in the affidavit, was not killed immediately; Rodriguez shot her again as she attempted to crawl away, and then again after he stopped to reload his firearm. A total of 21 expended 9mm cartridge casings were recovered.

In summary, the video shows a slim build person, wearing a blue jacket with a hood, a large dark-colored backpack, blue pants, and light-colored shoes, consistent with the clothing worn by RODRIGUEZ, walking across F Street, Northwest, in the direction of the Museum and where the decedents were standing preparing to enter the crosswalk. Once RODRIGUEZ walked past the decedents and two witnesses, he turned to face their backs and brandished a firearm from the area of his waistband. RODRIGUEZ is captured on the video extending both his arms in the direction of the decedents and firing several times as indicated by the muzzle flashes.

Once the decedents fell to the ground, RODRIGUEZ is captured on the video advancing closer to the decedents, leaning over them with his arm extended, and firing several more times. As Decedent-1 attempted to crawl away from RODRIGUEZ, he followed behind her and fired again. After a brief moment, RODRIGUEZ appeared to reload his firearm. At the same time, Decedent-1 sat up. Once he reloaded, RODRIGUEZ fired several times at Decedent-1. RODRIGUEZ is then captured jogging back in the direction of 3rd Street, NW, and southbound in the direction of where the entrance to the Museum is located.

The affidavit states that Rodriguez purchased the gun used in the murders in Illinois on March 6, 2020, and transported it in his checked baggage when he flew from Chicago to Reagan National Airport in Virginia on May 20, 2025.

When Rodriguez was interviewed by agents, after waiving his Miranda rights he "expressed admiration for the actions of an individual who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. on February 25, 2024, as a form of protest intended to draw attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" and labeled that man a "martyr." Prior to that interview, according to MPD officers, Rodriguez stated, "I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza. I am unarmed."

Press Takes on 'Free Palestine' Murderer Take a Very Dark and Disturbing Turn

Quote:Tragedy struck in Washington on Wednesday when a pro-Hamas activist murdered two Israeli embassy workers in cold blood. The criminal complaint revealed that Elias Rodriguez, a far-left socialist from Chicago, shot Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky in the back as they were leaving an event on collaboration to deliver aid to Gaza. The killer then reloaded and proceeded to continue shooting Milgram as she attempted to crawl away.

A manifesto was released online just before the shooting, with Rodriguez claiming he carried out the murders to avenge the "genocide" happening in Gaza. He ended his screed by saying that it was the only "sane" thing to do. Of course, you didn't need his manifesto to know his motive, given he shouted "free Palestine" while being arrested and admitted he "did it for Gaza."

None of this happened in a vacuum. Rodriguez was simply the natural outgrowth of the rabid pro-Hamas movement that has swept across the United States, especially on Ivy League college campuses. From Democrat politicians to national press members, the permission structure to murder Israelis has been built by excusing chants for a "global intifada" and "resistance by any means necessary" as harmless sloganeering.

In the aftermath of such a terrible act, you'd hope the mainstream media would at least shut up in light of all the harm they've helped perpetrate. Instead, they managed to go to an even darker place: Worrying about the very movement that propagated these killings.

ANCHOR: As you go forward, as you go forward with what you have seen, can you give us any sense because you said you looked the shooter in the eyes? Can you give us any sense of what you saw in him as he was, sort of, getting help, and people were tending to him as if he too was a victim of seeing this?

EPSTEIN: Yeah, to be clear, I like, heard about that part because we were in a secure room when he initially walked in. I just saw him screaming and being handcuffed. But what I saw in his eyes? I went to Columbia for grad school and I saw the same thing in his eyes as I saw in the eyes of all the protesters at Columbia. Nothing different between him and them.

ANCHOR: But they did not create this horrific shooting, they did not, you know, sort of...

EPSTEIN: (Expresses doubt)

ANCHOR: They didn't shoot, they haven't shot..

EPSTEIN: They gave permission. They gave him permission. They have called for this. They have called for intifada revolution, which is the same thing he yelled last night.

ANCHOR: Do you worry there will be a conflation, though, those people who are really speaking their mind, who really care about what is happening in Gaza, and those people who are, like this person, who did this horrific shooting, who intend to do harm.

EPSTEIN: A conflation? I mean, they are calling for intifada. At Columbia University, they call for intifada constantly. They're not quiet. They're loud. You can hear it. They make recordings of themselves. So what's the difference/

ANCHOR: Are you afraid?

EPSTEIN: Yes.

It's just astonishing to see a supposedly unbiased news anchor grill a guy who just witnessed a domestic terror attack on whether the supporters of the domestic terrorist will be unfairly "conflated" with him. Would she ever do that in any other situation? The answer is obviously not.

As the witness says, there is no difference in motive or belief between Rodriguez and the rest of his "free Palestine" cohorts. This is what a "global intifada" looks like, and CNN has been one of the worst outlets when it comes to glossing over how dangerous the pro-Hamas movement is in America.

The New York Times did a similar dance, writing an entire piece ripe with concern over whether this would dampen the pro-Hamas lunatics from continuing to call for genocide and Islamic world domination. Never has Norm MacDonald's famous post about Islamophobia been more relevant.

But leave it to NBC News, which tried to rig a debate during the last presidential cycle, to take things a step further. With the bodies of two innocent victims murdered by a pro-Hamas activist still warm, the left-wing broadcast network went to its safe space: Talking about "white nationalism."

We've had two left-wing assassins succeed in murdering people in the streets for ideological reasons. We've had two other left-wing assassins unsuccessfully try to kill now-President Donald Trump. We've had left-wing terrorists set Tesla dealerships on fire, beat Jews in the streets at places like Harvard, and attempt to blow up an IVF clinic. Yet, NBC News is focused like a laser beam on "white nationalism" being the supposed primary threat to the nation.

It's absurd, and everyone knows it's absurd. The mainstream press is truly as bad as it seems, and as an institution, it is never going to change. They will continue to make excuses for or obfuscate regarding left-wing domestic terrorism because deep down, they agree with the "resistance" movement.

It says a lot that no one on the left had called for gun control.

DC 'free Palestine' shooter sought vengeance for Wadee Alfayoumi, was student at University of Illinois during mass anti-Israel protests in 2018

Quote:A large portion of the authorities’ investigation into murder suspect Elias Rodriguez, who has been accused of killing Washington, DC Israeli Embassy employees Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, has been focused on his home city of Chicago.

Per CBS News Chicago, federal agents arrived at Rodriguez’s Albany Park apartment early Thursday morning, not long after Rodriguez was taken into custody in DC. Agents left the apartment that afternoon with boxes, luggage, and backpacks. A Hyundai Accent registered to Rodriguez was towed away.

People who knew Rodriguez were interviewed by investigators, and told them that Rodriguez had been outraged by the 2023 killing of Wadee Alfayoumi, a 6-year-old in the Chicago suburb of Plainfield who was Muslim and Palestinian. The family’s landlord was convicted of murder and hate crime charges.

In the window of Rodriguez’s Chicago residence, he had a photo of Alfayoumi. People who knew Rodriguez described to investigators how he felt a need to get vengeance for the young boy’s death. CBS News reported, "His apparent desire for revenge heightened with the Israel-Hamas war over the plight of the Palestinians."

Rodriguez attended the University of Illinois at Chicago and graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in English. During his time at the school, mass protests broke out in the city in response to the Great March of Return protests on the Gaza side of the Israeli border, in which Palestinians sought to go into Israel and stake a claim to land. It began on March 30, 2018. It is unclear whether then-university student Rodriguez attended these protests.

Solidarity protests broke out in Chicago in response to the Gaza protests, as well as Trump’s moving of the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. One such protest took place in May 2018, chanting "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," and carrying Palestinian flags, the Chicago Sun-Times reported at the time.

Another was hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of Chicago less than a month later, with the group stating at the time, "Join us - the 51st Anniversary of the Occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and Jerusalem - to make sure Ron Dermer can deliver a clear message to Netanyahu: the movement for Palestinian rights and Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions is growing in Chicago and throughout the US." Dermer was serving as Israeli Ambassador to the US at the time.

Rodriguez has been charged with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, as well as two counts of first-degree murder. Court documents stated that Rodriguez was seen "advancing closer to the decedents, leaning over with them with his arm extended, and firing several more times. As Decedent-1 (Milgrim) attempted to crawl away from Rodriguez, he followed behind her and fired again."

What would the left so if it were open season on people like I dunno...abortion doctors or sleazy PAC directors or the heads of swindling NGOs?

Just as crazy as these lunatics who do this and then have other lunatics treat them like freedom fighters.

Father of Suspected Killer of Israeli Diplomats Received an Invitation from a Democratic Congressman

Quote:In March, a Democratic congressman hailed the father of the accused killer of two Israeli embassy workers as the “very best of our community.”

Elias Rodriguez allegedly gunned down Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim near the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday.

The office of Democratic Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia of Illinois confirmed that Eric Rodriguez, the father of Elias Rodriguez, was recently honored by the lawmaker, according to the New York Post.

“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” a representative for Garcia said.

In March, when Rodriguez got a coveted seat at President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress, Garcia called Rodriguez “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”

“Eric represents the very best of our community — someone who has served his country, continues to serve his fellow veterans and fights every day to protect the dignity of working people,” Garcia said at the time.

“His presence at the Joint Address is a powerful statement: we will not sit back while veterans and workers are treated as political pawns,” Garcia added.

Eric Rodriguez appeared in a video at the time and trashed Trump, according to Fox News.

“The reason why I am in Washington, D.C., is because I’m concerned about what Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE are doing to the VA system,” Rodriguez said.

“They’re indiscriminately cutting people’s jobs, they’re cutting funding and people rely on these funds. People rely on these services.”

Elias Rodriguez has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Lischinsky and Milgrim, who were shot after they left the museum.

An unsealed FBI affidavit said video footage showed Lischinsky and Milgrim being approached from behind before the suspect opened fire.

Even after the two victims fell to the ground, the suspect continued to shoot.

“I did it for Palestine. I did it for Gaza. I am unarmed,” he yelled as he was detained, later calling out, “Free Palestine.”

In his New York Post column, Douglas Murray connected the deed of Elias Rodriguez with extreme leftist rhetoric.

“Presumably Rodriguez believed the lies that have been pumped around this country and the world,” he wrote.

“Presumably he was one of those people who actually believe that Israel has been committing a ‘genocide’ in Gaza since October 2023, as opposed to fighting a careful war intended to bring home the remaining Israeli hostages being held by Hamas and capturing or killing the terrorist group’s leadership. If he did believe these things then he is not alone,” he continued.

“Rodriguez does not appear to be a radical Muslim. He is someone who has been radicalized in America by radical left groups that believe that killing Jews makes them ethical people,” Murray wrote.

Maybe. But I'll try really hard to take a few of them to hell with me.

If Elias was my son I'd be ashamed and embarrassed to admit it. I would disown the murderer. Yes. I. Would.

Sadly, this is true. It was our turn to fall though. No nation lasts more than 250 years.
