If he fired a non-lethal at this distance the target would have been physically penetrated. In other words, they should be charged with attempted murder or manslaughter
I hope he has a good lawyer and there is a way to identify this person.
There can be no excuse for this.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

NBC News reported today that Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s rush to get new recruits onto the street has meant they have pushed into their training program more than 200 people who have disqualifying criminal backgrounds, fail drug testing, or don’t meet the academic or physical requirements.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

It’s funny how when a Dem DOES something, it’s still not enough for some people. All Dems must do it.

Why aren’t citizens doing something? It’s the people’s house just like our government is by, for, of the PEOPLE.
