ENOUGH, already.
To all of those out there who take great pleasure in yammering about how “Trump = Hitler” and “Trump is NOT my president” — you should be praying to whatever god you worship that no one got killed or seriously injured at the hands of this maniac at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
It turns out that accused shooter Cole Allen was part of a radical leftist political organization and partook in at least one of those nonsensical No Kings marches that Woronoff & Nagy love to glorify. He apparently issued a manifesto sharing all the, um, *love* he’s bottled up inside himself:
Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen sent a chilling anti-President Trump manifesto to his family just before opening fire — calling himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” and revealing he was hell-bent on killing Trump administration officials, The Post has learned.
Allen wrote that his “targets” were “Administration officials (not including [FBI Director Kash] Patel)… prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest” in the unhinged missive that went out about 10 minutes before the shooting Saturday night, two US officials said.
“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote, apparently referring to the president. […]
Sounds like he’s been reading The Pilot‘s Opinion section. (Or that of any other drive-by rag, for that matter.)
MORE:
[…] “In order to minimize casualties, I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls),” he wrote before disturbingly admitting he was willing to kill everyone in the room if it meant getting to his targets.
“I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.
Allen referred to his Christian faith several times in the document within a list of “rebuttals” to imagined objections to his actions. He also made mention of hot-button political issues like the Trump administration’s strikes on Venezuelan drug boats and the detention of illegal migrants.
“Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial,” Allen wrote in the deranged document, which a relative provided to police, officials said.[…]
Sounds like a talking-head on CNN or a letter-writer to The Pilot.
Lefties have a great time ranting to each other in terms like that. But what about when that kind of talk activates a loon like Allen to do what he did on Saturday? Not so fun anymore, now IS IT?
MORE:
[…] “I’m not a schoolkid blown up, or a child starved, or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.”
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said investigators believe he traveled by train from Los Angeles to Washington, DC, via Chicago, which he speculated could have been an attempt to avoid the scrutiny associated with air travel.
Allen mocked the “insane” lack of security at the Washington Hilton when he arrived armed to the teeth without so much as a sideways glance.
“Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance. I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat,” he said of the assembled security
“The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before. Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it’s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.”
He added: “Like, if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed s–t,” invoking a nickname for the M2 Browning .50-caliber machine gun. “Actually insane.”
Allen’s brother notified the New London, Conn., police department about the manifesto, two officials told The Post.
The document was signed “Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen.”
One official told The Post that the Secret Service has interviewed Allen’s sister, who lives in Rockville, Md., and learned he often made politically radical remarks and spoke of doing “something” to fix the world’s issues. […]
Now, how many times has it been where loons have come after President Trump in a violent manner? (At least three, we believe.) We didn’t see this with Obama, either Bush, or Clinton.
The responsible way to force change to things you don’t like is via the ballot box. That’s what we advocate here. We try to give you all the facts you need to help you make smarter decisions at the ballot box.
At some point – whether you’re a trust-fund baby with your own newspaper or an angry, retired college president with too much time on your hands – you need to stop and think and take some responsibility for the venom you spit. There are, unfortunately, a lot of people – like this Allen cat — who listen to you.
