That’s not what you do when you’re sad.
When it comes to Muslim terrorism, the official trope is that “it’s always mental illness until you find a video of him pledging allegiance to ISIS” and even then there’s some wriggle room.
Little surprise then that the media is trying to sell the “he was just sad” angle to explain why Rahmanullah Lakanwal traveled from Washington State to D.C. and then ambushed and shot and killed two members of the National Guard.
Suspect in National Guard attack struggled with ‘dark isolation’ as community raised concerns – AP
Uh-huh. Dark isolation. So he wore all black, listened to heavy metal and wrote bad poetry?
Rahmanullah Lakanwal may have behaved in an unstable manner, but there’s no metric for stable behavior for Afghans compared to Americans due to cultural differences.
The Afghan Muslim terrorist didn’t just lash out. He had a plan. He traveled across the country to D.C., someplace where he knew he would find members of the National Guard (especially because the media has taken to extensively reporting on their location in great detail) and murdered two of them in cold blood.
That’s not what you do when you have the ‘sads’. That’s not sadness or mental illness. It’s terrorism. By a guy from a country where terrorism is the leading national export after drugs.
The cover-up is really not going to work.
CommonSenseChris says
THANK YOU for publishing this! I have been shocked to see TV News broadcasts nationally and in DC where they attribute his killing and shooting US Guardsmen due to his “depression” and “mental illness”.
BRAVO SIERRA.
This is the same kind of deception that the British press uses instead of saying the truth- that these deaths and injuries are committed by Muslims following their Quran to kill non-believers. If any media says that the killing is due to mental illness- then they are essentially saying Islam IS a Mental Illness. Let’s just say THAT part out loud.

This Muslim, in this picture, who is a murderer from Afghanistan is an example of the folly and foolish and outright reckless as well as very irresponsible allow all those” to enter the United States to live.
The reason why this is because some of them might be Muslim terrorists, and outright dangerous in the most death inflecting since of that word, which is Dangerous. As seen in the most recent news about that Afghan/ Muslim “refugee” when he engaged in that murderous shooting of the National Guard soldiers at the White House.
For it only takes a few out of many do much murderous harm,
This may be, somewhat, explained by the narrative from the fable of Aesop which is entitled THE SCORPION AND THE FROG So “Once upon a time there was a scorpion who really wanted to get to the other side of the river, but he could not swim. Therefore, the scorpion begged a frog to carry him on his back across the river. The kind but foolish frog agreed and then half-way across the river the scorpion stung the frog. In shock and horror, the dying frog asks the scorpion “Why did you sting me since this means that we both are going to die” The scorpion replied, “The reason that I stung you even though we both will now die is because that just what a scorpion, by nature, does.”
In conclusion, just as that scorpion in the fable had proven himself by the dangerous and deadly, to self and others, because of his nature. The violent and murderous jihadists of Islam are as that scorpion, dangerous so self and other because they is their nature because they have been thought programmed in the ways of the violent and murdering jihad of Islam. As always stated above, this is the sad and tragic reality of Islamic terrorism in today’s world.
Walter Sieruk says
There wouldn’t so many vicious death inflecting Afghan: refugees in the United States right now if Joe Biden hadn’t made that fool or treacherous order to suddenly and completely abandon the land of Afghanistan without gradual transitional period.
Therefore, that despicable President pretender Biden is just as guilty for the death of all those innocent people as those Afghan: refugees who directly murdered them.
Thomas Black says
Another one of the author’s excellent articles addressed Lakanwal’s motive. He screamed “Allahu akbar” as he fired upon the Guard members. Also, he expected other Guard members or the police to kill him in response (he was shot, but lived). So he took off his clothes. As a martyr, he would get the reward of the virgins of paradise. He wanted to “get right down to business” when he arrived in heaven.
somehistory says
The media is going backward. Please bear with me here.
When a detective is looking for a missing person, he may *assume* the person is alive. As the days and weeks go by, he may begin to believe the person is dead. He may first think: accident, illness, suicide, murder all based on the *evidence* he uncovers. But, as the evidence showing foul play increases, he doesn’t go from thinking *murder* back to just missing person.
In 2013, Lee Rigby…a soldier was murdered on the street by two muzzies. How did people react? What did the media report? According to Wikipedia, the two murderers gave their *reasons* for the murder. Mental illness was not mentioned.
In 2001, when the reports came in about the muzzies flying those planes, guilt was laid upon obl and his al queda terrorists.
Now here we are in the ending days of 2025 and the media keeps pouring forth with sympathy for muzzie murderers and covering up the *reasons* this particular one traveled across country to murder soldiers.
A sad or depressed person may not go to work, may not shower, may not eat or even get out of bed, depending on just how deep the feelings go.
This murderous goon travelled across a country….all the way from coast to coast…where he had not grown up, but had been flown in by bo/biden.
Just how did he do that….plan the trip, which highways to take, stops along the way, etc. if he was so *sad*?
If 9/11 happened today, the media would sympathetically report on just how sad obl, m atta and those other poor, “feeling isolated,” mass-murdering muzzies were to do that horrific thing.

Infidel, I’ve seen many depressed people, sad people, and I can say without doubt, they were all fully clothed and in most cases, pulling their garments close to themselves.
Daniel Triplett says
I’ve heard Trump on TV saying about Rahmanullah Lakanwal, “He came here from Afghanistan, and just went cuckoo.”
That’s how he’s described other Muslim mujahideen within the US too. He never says the words “Islam” or “Muslim.”
On another note, the FoxNews website Comments Section has been shadowbanning me for the last couple of weeks, for speaking truth about Islam, Muslims, and Jihad. LAME.
They couldn’t just face me and be honest about the censorship. Instead, my comments appear, when I’m logged in with my username, but do NOT appear when I’m logged out (the way everyone else sees it).
FoxNews is still way behind on all this. They’re still swallowing fistfulls of Blue Pills about Islam – choosing instead to believe in and parrot a “Tiny Minority of Extremists hijacking The Religion of Peace.”
However, Newsmax is getting Red Pilled about Islam, Muslims, and Jihad real quick – especially “Rob Finnerty Show,” and “Rob Schmitt Tonight.” These guys speak truth and are unafraid to say it.
gravenimage says
Sorry to hear this, Daniel–but not surprised.
Daniel Triplett says
Right. For some things, such as the 2020 Election Integrity, it was apparent that the Fox News producers and talent had a gun to their heads from the Leftist Lachlan Murdoch forcing them to toe the line. Like, there’s no way Sean Hannity believed 2020 was fair and honest, though he was forced to pretend so on air, on threat of being fired.
However, when it comes to Islam, I think the whole lot of them at Fox, producers and talent alike, are truly uninformed.
But like I say, the Newsmax crew is a different story. They spend a lot of time calling out Islam and Muslims. All of it – without attaching the “Radical” modifier prefix.
Other than “The Five” and “Gutfeld” occasionally, I don’t spend much time watching Fox anymore.
Hoi Polloi says
It’s becoming a problem on X, as well. I’ve also noticed, and others here have concurred, that there seems to be an increase in restricting returns of content that is factual and critical of islam.
Daniel Triplett says
That’s a shame about X. I’ve seen posts from Elon being infuriated and critical about the UK Muslim grooming/rape scandal. So, hopefully his Red Pilling about the zero-sum global Islamic War, the biggest story on Earth since the birth of Christ, will continue and he’ll come around.
I’m certainly glad Elon’s in charge at X though, rather than those woke Dim useful idiots at Twitter. The Twitter censorship was fatal.

murdered two of them in cold blood.
Has the second guardsman passed away? The last story I saw said he was showing improvement and responding to nurses.

I read this morning that he was still alive.

From an email from Died Suddenly
“On the evening of December 1, family members of Sgt. Wolfe offered a cautiously hopeful update: while he is not yet awake and fully responsive, he is able to follow a few simple commands — raising his thumb, squeezing a hand, and wiggling his toes.
These small but meaningful signs of responsiveness come after a battery of medical tests, including an angiogram, which revealed no aneurysms or dangerous blood clots. His neurosurgeon called this a “major milestone.” According to his mother, “Praise God.””

Yes; there were other family members who could have done the deed, but they made the child do it.

Question: does execution by a mere chlld send the creep deeper into Muslim hell? Deeper than even being taken down by the lowly hand of ‘a woman’ ?
The kid was long ago inured to killing people….
In fact. the creep in THIS DC story started working for the CIA at the ripe old age of 15, specifically for night time killing raids…
Yes for the CIA…
AND in the time window before the ‘sad’ creep went on his killing spree, some investigative journalist checked Google TRENDS and found multiple searching episodes specifically to find info on THAT ‘SAD’ CREEP — by NAME.. !!!
With a name like that, searching does NOT HAPPEN
**BY ACCIDENT**
Somebody should have counted the times and location of the **searchers**…
Doesn’t that look like someone else was maybe planning how and where to send the CIA-vetted creep…
Wonder if payments were involved……… ttyl

Listening to Glenn Beck. He was talking about the afghans being flown in the murder in D.C. and said that the phobia word is used to silence anyone who speaks about what is happening
Mr. Beck was right until he said, “an islamist is not a muslim.” He said islamism is communism as religion.
He said that ‘islamists have hijacked islam.’
Beck is very, very confused.

No, an Afghan Muslim Terrorist Didn’t Cross the Country to Kill two Guardsmen Because He Was Sad
………………………………………………….
I’ve been sad from time to time. Did I drive 3000 miles to shoot National Guards? Hell no.
I bet you’ve been sad, too.
Cynthia says
Muslims are inured to violence at a very early age. They watch cruelty to animals, honor killings, and butchery with public executions. Every one of them is a ticking time bomb.
To think of those children and families in western terms is a huge mistake. Israelis found out that women, children and elderly Gazans were thrilled to be a part of massacre and mutilation.
