Gunman Shot Dead After Opening Fire Outside White House

2 min read

A crazed gunman opened fire outside the White House on Saturday evening, reportedly getting off several shots before being cut down in a hail of return fire from the Secret Service. It’s the second such incident in less than a month after a gunman was apprehended at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The NY Post has the story.

Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 pm after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St Northwest, sources told the Post. He used a revolver and only got off a few shots before he was quickly shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers.

A least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade, the sources said.

While a motive for the attack hasn’t been confirmed, sources said Best is a mentally troubled individual who believed he was Jesus Christ and is known to the Secret Service and has violated a pervious court order to stay away from the White House.

After the sound of numerous shots rang out, members of the press who were filming at the White House were seen diving for cover and were told by Secret Service to gather on the North Lawn and to run into the press briefing room. …

The apparent shots rang out a little less than two hours after President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was in the Oval Office working on a peace deal with Iran.

Good! REHABILITATION NEVER WORKS, Recidivism reigns supreme among all criminals, and that’s why the Satanic Globalists have replaced Punishment for Crime with “Rehabilitation” in many western countries. “Encourage Crime to Destabilize Society” is one of the Marxist-Fabian Frankfurt School’s 11-Point Plan to Destroy the West.

“Nasire” is an Arabic Muslim name, hence the instant media blathering about “Mental Health” as a deflection. Don’t be fooled by the claims he thought he was “Jesus Christ”, because Muslims are taught that Jesus will return in the End Times to help Muslims massacre Christians. Yes, really.

Never use 1 round when 50 random rounds will do.

People would expect a similar reaction if he had gone to Buckingham Palace while King Charles was there and fired at The King’s Guard.

Not really chaos though is it – crazy man starts firing gun at white house guards – crazy man is shot dead. Story end.

Seems quite a reasonable response – if you don’t want to be shot dead, don’t fire at armed people?…

Death by cop – probably.

Such people should be in secure institutions. I wonder if his schizophrenia was caused by cannabis as so often is the case.
