As we reported earlier, a free speech event featuring a Muhammad art contest hosted by Pam Geller and Dutch politician Geert Wilders was attacked tonight in Garland, Tx., resulting in the death of the two suspects and a wounded security officer.

Wilders stopped in D.C. to meet with Congressmen before heading to Texas where Democrats rallied in hopes of keeping him out of the country:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations joined in, too:
