I like this comment from the site the best: "There are more effective ways to get your point across." :rofl:

A precautionary lockdown of the U.S. Capitol was lifted after about two hours Saturday following a suicide by a man carrying a sign demanding taxes for the '1%'.


The man died after shooting himself on the west front of the Capitol building just after 1 p.m., Capitol Police spokeswoman Kimberly Schneider said. No one else was hurt.


Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said the man had a backpack and a rolling suitcase, triggering an hours-long lockdown, and a sign that said something about 'social justice.'

A more truthful sign would have been...."Rob the rich and give it to me"

'Tax the 1%'

Is that the same 1% that already pays 38% of all Federal taxes, according to the Heritage Foundation?

What was that guy's DU name?

I was wondering that too.

Or one more martyr for the cause.

Let the right midset at DU get ahold of that little factoid about the 1% sign and they'll turn this whackjob into a sainted hero and a reason to push even harder for social justice.

Martyrizing a suicide may be a bit difficult, even among Libs.

His death,
Like his life,
Will be meaningless.
