Or some guard knew what was about to happen and was part of the plan. Sorry, but Hanlon’s Razor broke on January 6th 2021.

The incident occurred at Connolly’s office on Main St. in Fairfax, according to a tweet from city police
You are correct.

At a small district office, it’s very likely there was no guard. Far-right domestic terrorism may become the next excuse for a hiring surge in private security tho…

I wish the staffers a speedy recovery and hope that as state employees all their healthcare is covered.
Barring mental health issues, the attacker is a coward and i hope they rot in jail.

Whatever his mental state, there’s a good chance this was a stochastic terrorism incident.

That and desatan throwing his political weight behind the murderer let me think this side show ain’t over.
Also, something about a governor supporting such an act gives me the spins.

Connolly is a US Representative. I believe his staffers would be federal employees. Regardless, they should have good insurance. I would think this would be worker’s comp, though, no?
