I am just waiting for the first liberal to say, "Well, if the National Guard wasn't there in the first place, they wouldn't have been shot." Followed by Trump bashing.

They’re not dead. The governor was incorrect.

He applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration, according to three law enforcement sources.

That this is quite a tragedy but not really surprising in our gun country where we tend a mass shooting a day year after year. How did he get a gun is my question.
