    Man claiming to have explosives near Capitol surrenders to police.
    CBS News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 73% • 3 min read

    The situation began around 9:15 a.m., when Floyd Ray Roseberry, 49, drove his vehicle onto the sidewalk outside the Library of Congress, located across from the Capitol building and Supreme Court, and was holding what appeared to be a detonator. Police communicated with Roseberry via a whiteboard and used a robot to deliver him a telephone, though he did not use it, U.S. Capitol Police chief Thomas Manger said.
    ...
    Shortly after the phone was delivered, Roseberry got out of the vehicle and surrendered. Tactical units then took him into custody. U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement late Thursday a bomb was not found in the vehicle, but possible bomb-making materials were recovered.
    ...
    The chief said he is not aware of other explosives elsewhere around Washington, D.C., and there is "no indication" Roseberry was working with anyone else. The suspect's motives remain unknown, but Manger said Roseberry had losses in his family, including the recent death of his mother, as well as "other issues that he was dealing with."

Should the US accept more refugees?

Yes

No

Unsure

540 votes, 87 comments

Context: Expected increase of refugees as Taliban take over Afghanistan.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - The US has a moral obligation to help those who helped us over the past 20 years in country, as well as those who are so likely to suffer oppression under the Taliban. Other comments have already captured that we are a nation built on the courage of immigrants in previous generations. While the moral obligation is far and above the main point here, we do have an economic need for more workers in the US. Simply put, we need their support as much as they deserve ours.


No - We can't (or don't) even take care of our citizens properly today. Homelessness...



Unsure - I’d feel compelled to counter that the US should perhaps stop ‘creating’ mo...
