Neither Capitol Insurrectionists Nor Nation of Islam Adherents Are Very Fine People

As you probably know by now one U.S. Capitol police officer was killed and another was seriously injured after a man rammed his vehicle into into them. The man then left his vehicle wielding a knife before being shot by police. The assailant would later die of his wounds.

Given we are less than three months removed from the attack on the U.S. Capitol, it would be natural to suspect a pro-Trump fanatic was the culprit. However, in this case, the assailant was one Noah Green, an adherent of the Nation of Islam who referred to Louis Farrakhan to "Jesus, the Messiah"

Now family and friends say Green was afflicted with mental illness. This might very well be the case. Of course, I'm sure the said could be said of many of the people who saw fit to storm the Capitol shouting, "Hang Mike Pence!!!" 

In which case, it is fair to say neither Capitol insurrectionists nor Nation of Islam adherents are very fine people.

  1. I would put Jewish Defense League with those guys. They have been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League. They still maintain Meir Kahane principles. But the main problem is the JDL and Nation of Islam have been known to dobusiness with the KKK and other white Christian extremist groups.
