Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO has inspired followers, prosecutors say
Mangione is accused of leaving behind evidence showing disdain for the insurance industry. Similarly, the NFL headquarters gunman identified as Shane Tamura left behind a handwritten note blaming the league and football for causing chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known at CTE, prosecutors noted.
I believe there is talk of that evidence being mishandled or planted.

Armed guard members will carry the type of weapon they are normally issued and trained on, typically M17 handguns and M4 semiautomatic rifles, similar to assault-style rifles, the Defense Department officials said. Some guard members will carry M9 pistols.
The military weapons are similar to those used by local police departments across the United States. The M4 is a standard semiautomatic rifle and has roughly the same capabilities as semiautomatic rifles used by law enforcement agencies.
Completely incorrect. NBC is clearly trying to downplay the seriousness of this. M4 rifles are not assault "style". They are assault rifles, fullstop. The M4, and other assault rifles, are not legal for civilian use. They have full automatic or burst fire capability, depending on the specific model.
The weapons these soldiers are carrying are not AR-15s. These are not "assault weapons". These are weapons of war. They are not for civilian hunters or shooting competitions. They are for killing human beings.

President Donald Trump stood in the White House press briefing room Monday morning, declaring it “Liberation Day in D.C.” and announcing that he was taking over Washington, D.C.’s police force. Invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, a rarely used provision of federal law, Trump said he was placing the Metropolitan Police Department under direct White House control and deploying the D.C. National Guard into city streets.

The tiniest of silver linings is that there's a good chance of getting rid of the NFA once and for all. However, I would gladly push that date back if it meant the big shit bill hadn't passed.

It's not a shonen, despite the title. I'd argue it's for more mature audiences. The story is a tragedy about a man who is forced into immortality, and spends his days fighting demons to prepare himself to kill the demon who did this to him. It's definitely got some action, but it's not really about the spectacle of fighting demons. Most of the demons are caused by bad emotions like grief, anger, jealously, etc. The story focuses on how these emotions demons affect people and the world around them, and the main character learning more about himself and the world during his journey.
I'm not good at explaining this, just watch it lol.
