2024 Emails: DC National Guard Shooting Suspect Withdrawn, Not Functional
“He spends most of his time for weeks on end in his darkened bedroom, not speaking to anyone, not even his wife and older kids.”
According to CBS News, emails show that Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the suspect in the D.C. National Guard shooting, felt withdrawn and non-functional for the last two years.
The Afghan national faces murder charges after Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died.
From the report:
According to emails dated January 2024 obtained by CBS News, the 29-year-old had been struggling to hold a job and had not been doing well mentally for more than a year.
In an email sent on Jan. 11, 2024, to the nonprofit group U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, the concerned case worker said Lakanwal had not worked in a year and his family had been served an eviction notice for nonpayment of rent.
“World Relief volunteers are trying to patch things for that family – but I think the father has mental health issues that are not addressed, and he won’t talk to anyone,” the email, sent the year before Lakanwal’s asylum claim was approved, read in part.

In another email sent Jan. 31, 2024, the case worker said Lakanwal had “not been functional as a person, father and provider since March of last year, 03/2023.”
“He spends most of his time for weeks on end in his darkened bedroom, not speaking to anyone, not even his wife and older kids,” the email said.
The email also describes “manic episodes for one or two weeks at a time where he will take off in the family car,” but also “interim” periods where he “tries to make amends.” The case worker, who is not a mental health professional, later said in the email that they believed Lakanwal is suffering “…PTSD from his work with the US military in Afghanistan.”
The advocate believed Lakanwal would harm himself, but “never saw signs suggesting he might become violent towards others.”
Lakanwal worked with the U.S., including the CIA, while in Afghanistan.
He came to the U.S. in 2021 during Biden’s awful Afghanistan withdrawal under “Operation Allies Welcome.”
Lakanwal, his wife, and five children lived in Washington state.
The suspect drove across the country to D.C. right before the shooting. We do not know yet when he arrived.

Here comes the insanity defense.
I don’t care. Grease a probe with pig fat, shove it up his butt and electrocute him.
No argument from me. But you just know that’s where they’re going.
I’m not feeling sympathy for him.
He’ll have plenty of time to work on his mental health inside of a prison cell.
No, he gets the death penalty, nothing else will satisfy
You know he was naked when he shot at the NG
Something not spoken about
Guess he was ready for the 12 virgins, didn’t want to waste time…
They are trying to make it so the family stays
“They couldn’t be in cahoots with him,,they never saw him or spoke to him….
Right
Not functional, but drove across the US, set up an ambush and….then stripped naked ..ready for some 72 virgin action. More like mulling over the imam or CIA command to go jihad.
Rigorously vetted by Auto Pen.
And the silicon chip inside his head gets switched to overload…
SSRI’s, or islam?
I hate mondays.
Caseworker email?
There are millions of refugees from hundreds of countries around the world in the U.S. If each one received a visit from a caseworker that would mean millions of caseworkers and tens of millions of emails and if they continued to visit them for years afterward the number would be staggering. This man had been here since 2011. I am scratching my head.
Correction: since 2021.
So it would seem that if the CBS news so desires they can contact an anonymous source who can obtain a caseworker’s email on any refugee in the US who came here in the last 5 years.
“Not Functional”?
What part of “Afghani” made you expect functionality?
“He spends most of his time for weeks on end in his darkened bedroom, not speaking to anyone,…”
Seems like a perfect fit for solitary confinement!
Most of these asylum seekers belong in an asylum.
No job for two years, couldn’t pay rent, but had the cash for a .357 and ammo.
Hang ‘im high.
Lefty media trying to convince everyone that the Muslim Terrorist is the real victim here.
Note that none of them wrote any profiles on the young soldiers that he snuck up on and shot in the head. No sympathy for them.
The stories about his struggles with the operations he carried out for the CIA have already started. If he did work for the CIA why didn’t they insure he got competent mental health access for his PTSD? He claims he was part of a kill squad going after taliban and taliban sympathizers. If that’s true then the CIA needs to be investigated for running a Murder Inc operation. Depending on the dates my spidey sense tells me this occurred during the Obama administration.
No doubt CBS and the rest of the Communist media will try to use this to yammer about the lack of “universal mental health care” and blame Republicans.
We need common sense jihad reform.
