Nasire Best, the 21-year-old man shot and killed by agents outside the White House on Saturday, had previous encounters with the Secret Service, court records show – including one occasion where he was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital and another where local police arrested him while he claimed "he was Jesus Christ." cnn.it/3RF0LC4

@CNN Why are they always playing the "mental health" card?

@CNN the "known to authorities" starter pack strikes again.

@CNN So he identified as Jesus is it? Isn't that a normal behavior nowadays? Identifying as something you're not?

@CNN Nasire Best. Why isn’t CNN showing a picture of the shooter in this post?

@CNN The refusal of communities to forcibly confine and treat many of the mentally ill as we did in the past is not humane. Watching them roam aimlessly, sleep on sidewalks, harm themselves or others and in some cases be killed is indeed inhumane. Get them off the streets.

@CNN Since you didn't call out his whiteness, we'll assume he wasn't...exhausting.

@CNN Just waiting for the reflexive vigil for this guy on the Democrat side. They will say he was a mostly peaceful man.

@CNN Good job, CNN, not mentioning all of the shots he fired at the white house. It's much more important to point out that he was a victim of mean people committing him to a psych ward, and from the violence of those who fired back at him. Protect the narrative at all costs!

@CNN another white male committing racist acts....right Jake Tapper...

@CNN Is this not another reason more funding is needed for mental health? This guy was a danger to society and himself. 🤔

@CNN This is why media needs to stop with all the reckless comparisons when it comes to our President. Every crazy yahoo is being influenced by the media & now trying to take him out. You all disgust me.

@CNN So trump hired him to fire shots close to the whitehouse so he could boost support for his ballroom. Another disposable human being used to benefit himself. The man is a monster

@CNN It’s that white privilege we hear so much about

@CNN CNN won’t cover this much for obvious reasons

@CNN If he was encountering the SS prior to this fatal incident why was he not jailed? The claim to being J. Christ, obviously invalid

@CNN When incidents escalate this close to the White House, it becomes less about one individual and more about gaps in prevention 🔥

@CNN Hmmmm....my state won't let you get a LEGAL gun if you were institutionalized. Now how did he get a gun? Hmmm ...

@CNN How did someone like that able to buy a gun? #Gunlaws

@CNN He was upset that Donald claimed to be Jesus Christ because he is the one that is actually Jesus Christ. It all makes sense now.

@CNN Any social media posts? Search of his home? Seems not a lot of info's coming out. Interviews with family? Why not?!

@CNN It is obvious that this shooter was mentally ill, to the point where he even falsely claimed to be Jesus. But I refuse to ignore the fact that Trump used this opportunity to talk about his ridiculous ballroom that is a waste of taxpayer dollars. #WhiteHouse

@CNN That’s the way you deal with scum like this, put him down, no Mangione type nonsense, no State money spent on lawyers, housing, food ….no groupies , i call it a happy ending

@CNN Video of scene: youtu.be/s4rKdyxEMok?si…

@CNN Well, @CNN, while killing this young man was indeed a tragedy, it's even more heartbreaking that he was mentally unwell. I think the reason why he tried to get in was because he was freaking out about the psych ward. Poor man!

@CNN We are ALL concerned about Trump’s mental health too.

@CNN No pic of him huh lol? Would be blasted everywhere if he was white

@CNN He was Black and not white as you were reporting. Liars

@CNN Nasire Best is mentally ill. We have a mental health crisis in the U.S. and stripping healthcare from 17 million will make it much worse.

@CNN They ALWAYS have mental health concerns. NO, they are violent lunatics

@CNN Whether he was mentally unstable or not, he got the FAFO treatment, and deservedly so.

@CNN I hope he died in agony crying for his mama as he bled out… is there video of him as he’s dying? Send it to his mother.

@CNN Whoever procured the gun for him needs jail time 👎

@CNN including one occasion where he was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital Is this where he first came into contact with the tRump administration?

@CNN The American press can't be trusted. They wanted this reality tv personality in the white house for this very reason! Go do some real reporting and investing instead of falling for this trainwreck of an administration!

@CNN There are many attempts to attack White House. I hope the innocents will be safe.
