So the Brown University shooter and maybe the M.I.T. Professor was let in by Trump administration.

The US will pause its diversity visa lottery program, said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, adding that Neves Valente entered the country via the program in 2017 and was granted a green card.

And he is dead.
I wonder why he did the killing? The guy in Boston is easy. The ones at Brown don't make sense, unless he went after someone specific.

It's not a rational perspective, but generally speaking murder is not a rational decision.

.. have caused this tragedy. You can be almost certain that the shooter if he was in his native Portugal
would not been able to get a gun as easily as he did in America.

And don’t worry about Trump and his sycophants will find some kind of way to blame Presidents Obama and Biden for something or other with the shooter.
