#3 The US is ignoring his demands to not support the Kurds. So his White House meeting didn't go very well so what does a tyrant do? Attack, attack, attack.

This is just his first hateful response to the U.S. and he doesn't care what we think of his Praetorian Guard's attacks if people in Washington DC.

#10 ...the reverberations of the incident, including the legal, juridical and diplomatic developments it has caused

#11 State Department’s statement of "Violence is never an appropriate response to free speech,"

Except on college campuses, of course.
