Man who shot himself dead on steps of Capitol was carrying 'Tax the 1%' sign

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

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.

One less leech living off government programs.

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.

Will be meaningless.
