Pirro: "These Guardsmen and all who are here to protect the District are the line that separates a civilized society from a barbaric one."

This press briefing is disgusting. Pirro & Patel playing the blame game on Biden’s Afghan with-drawl. They failed to mention the trump administration’s asylum approval of this guy in 2025. Neither of these 2 things is responsible for the shooting. A nut or a guy w a grudge and a gun are to blame

A judge just ruled illegal for NG to be there. They blame Biden for the man immigrating here in 2021 but tRump gave him asylum this year. They suggest that DC is a crime ridden city, even though the shooter came from Bellingham, Washington. They are the fake news.

Huh, do you think she meant to imply that Muslims are barbarous peoples? But we all know the truth, part of which is that the Guard were deployed to be targets and incite violence. Why would an Afghani want to harm US troops I wonder?

....except when they are placed there as targets by a president who needs violence against them as an excuse to escalate and subvert future elections. #VoteOutEveryRepublican #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

The national guard has no authority until the president declares martial law. Until then they're just picking up garbage and raking leaves and there was never any reason for them to be deployed in the first place. Oh yeah That was the whole point all along You guys wanted this to happen

I believe they are there as political pawns to threaten and incite fear. They are being exploited for executive power theater at great expense by the people who do not want to pay them to parade down their peaceful streets armed for war with vague purpose as playthings for a lunatic.

who or what was the line before the guard arrived? i mean, sure, DC was barbaric before the guard but it’s still a dog-eat-dog kind of place. we’ll need something more civilizing than the NG to tame that. like publicly funded elections for state and federal. that would end most of the barbarism.

The Guard are literally standing around doing nothing all day. The citizens of DC, via our duly elected government and legitimate law enforcement agencies, managed a civilized society very well on our own, thank you.

From a list of grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence: "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

She's such a dramatic little bitch! I was passing through WA DC Union Station (which is basically a gigantic mall) yesterday and saw five or so guardsmen standing around on the upper level watching people go by. Our government is wasting their time, energy, and our money for a show. What a waste.

She has it wrong... If the guard hadn't been brought into DC for a made up reason , this wouldn't have happened ... it's simple. We know who is responsible even though the regime will attempt to blame everyone else but themselves as they never take responsibility for anything ! It's who they are!

Too bad Donald Trump wouldn't allow the DC National Guard protect our nation's capitol when the violent insurrectionists THAT HE INCITED stormed the building, beat the shit of of police officers, trashed the place and threatened lives of Congress people! Instead he pardoned the insurrectionists!

"Protect the district"? 62+ people have been murdered in DC since the National Guard arrived. If NG with guns can't stop murders then the whole narrative about more guns stopping murders has been proven wrong.

Except that is not the way you view it. You put untrained people in harms way to break the law and a weak man continues to try to be a tyrant. NG are for the states for emergency use not to be pieces on your chessboard to sacrifice. I have no idea why these NG members are following illegal orders.

Cynical. “The Line” between civilization and barbarism is empathy and teamwork. What she’s describing is a military dictatorship. But I guess she didn’t say a “democratic” society. So… what we don’t say sometimes says it all.

Trump changed the District from a civilized society to a barbaric one. Last week a judge told him he send in those troops illegally. The troops have been there gardening. Let me be clear: I don't blame the troops, I blame the one who gave the illegal order.

Au contraire, ma petite. A barbaric society has armed guardsmen roaming the streets terrorizing the civilians. A civilized society is one that has laws and follows them. They don't allow convicted criminals and their TV buddies to order them around.

She means if a sudden crisis arises like she misplaced a corkscrew, in a civilized society she can send a very white gofer to fetch one and the gofer probably won't be killed or sent to a concentration camp. Barbarians use a hammer & AA battery & pound the cork down. Then they pour wine into a jar.

I wish they got as fired up over school shootings … wouldn’t it be amazing if they called for gun reform as quickly as they call for deportations? All shootings are horrific don’t get me wrong. Just wish all lives mattered.

This is what happens when the federal government loses its focus on protecting the American people from true violent offenders. The trump administration is failing the American people with its fascist and bigoted policies aimed at nonwhites and the political opposition.

In a way she's right. The "civilized society" is the people of DC. The barbaric one is the ICE/CBP stormtroopers. And the Guard is the tenuous line of pawns put between them by T to draw our fire and shield his lawless thugs.

National Guard members express deployment concerns over Signal chat. "You want me to go pick up trash & dissuade homeless people in DC at gunpoint. Like, no dude. It's so disheartening every time I see another city and I just wonder, who's going to stand up to this? www.npr.org/2025/11/10/n...

Watching the press conference life - what kept coming to my mind was the word "Performative". The language, the way they speak - it all feels SO performative and disingenuous. It's horrible. I don't remember any other administration having so many performative members of the cabinet.

I never realized that DC was a barbaric area before the National Guard arrived. Didn't trump say crime was eliminated in DC with the NG patrolling? So.....what happened yesterday?

What an utter crock of shit. Crime in DC, like many other Democratic led cities, is continuing to decline. This is political grandstanding to make Trump & his goons look tough. This shooting is on him. It never was about crime. It's about fear. He's failing, badly, and he knows it.
