The victims of the Beltway Snipers were innocent strangers to Muhammad and Malvo — some were killed while pumping gas, mowing a lawn, and shopping.
Moose said the targets of the recent bomb mailings likely didn’t feel the same fear of the unknown that the victims in the sniper shootings felt.
“I’m not sure how much of an impact it had on someone like President Obama, who in the last 10 years had all kind of threats on his life and has become accustomed to living in that kind of bubble,†said Moose. “I think, more importantly, it showed to the general public the real message that nobody’s really safe.â€
Moose said targeted crimes — including the 2015 murder of 9 African-Americans churchgoers by Dylann Roof in Charleston, South Carolina, and this weekend’s murder of 11 Jews in a Pittsburgh synagogue, allegedly by Robert Bowers — robs all of society.
“The devastating part of this type of activity is it just takes away your sense of safety,†said Moose. “You can’t even be safe in a place of worship.â€
Without mentioning him by name, Moose was critical of President Donald Trump’s reaction to the Pittsburgh slaughter.
“It’s really sad when you get a leader saying in some ways it’s the victim’s fault, because if you were to have armed security, this wouldn’t have happened,†said Moose. “It’s just a ludicrous thing to say.â€

The caravan is near the city of Mapastepec, Mexico, according to CNN. The city is located in the southern Mexican state Chiapas, close to Guatemala. That’s some 1,200 miles from the U.S. border.

Ya know, Mexico might not look to kindly upon the massing of US Troops along its border.The caravan is near the city of Mapastepec, Mexico, according to CNN. The city is located in the southern Mexican state Chiapas, close to Guatemala. That’s some 1,200 miles from the U.S. border.
According to the story, they are making around 25 miles a day. They're still 48 days away at their current speed.

Is that legal? I have been wondering about sending in Non-National Guard troops.

It depends on the mission they're given. By law the military, including the National Guard, cannot conduct direct civilian law enforcement duties. They can do helpy-helperson type stuff tho.
Here's a good NPR interview from April on this subject.
