We have another strange thing to discuss. We have something, but someone is strangely missing. It’s actually concerning for who it is. And it’s a surprise. Would you like to play a guessing game? See if you can figure out who it might be. Then come along with me and see! My compliments to Raw Story:
The New York Post claimed Sunday to have obtained a copy of a manifesto written by the suspected shooter who disrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) Saturday night, in which the gunman names every Trump administration official as a target – except for one, and without explanation as to the lone exclusion.
The suspected gunman was soon identified as 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen, who police said had rushed through a Secret Service checkpoint at the event bearing a shotgun, a handgun and several knives. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche later said Allen was believed to be targeting Trump administration officials.
Well, now. Targeting the whole administration. You would think that he would just want Trump, but no, he wanted everyone. Perhaps he knew he wouldn’t have a chance at the ‘president’ because of the Secret Service. Either way, he didn’t get very far on his list, as he got no one. But wait! There’s more! Who was missing from the list?
On Sunday, the Post published what they claimed to be Allen’s manifesto in full, which Allen had sent to family members 10 minutes before the shooting, according to the Post.
“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” the suspected shooter wrote in his manifesto, an apparent reference to President Donald Trump, according to the Post.
Allen then went on to name his list of targets, which excluded just one Trump administration official: FBI Director Kash Patel. “Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest,” the manifesto reads.
According to the manifesto – which was confirmed as authentic by multiple journalists – Allen did not intend to target any other event attendees, including Secret Service officials, unless they posed a direct threat to either his life or achieving his goal.
Interesting. Everyone *except* Patel. Something’s wrong with this picture. Why not Patel? I must be missing something, because I have no ideas or suggestions for it. I’ve been doing this long enough that I can look below the surface, yet I still don’t have anything for it.
“In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls),” the alleged manifesto reads.
“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.”
He had specific targets and didn’t want to do anything to the people not on his list. Well, that’s generous of him, but it also says something about him. He didn’t intend to do a mass shooting, at least in the terms of what we determine one is. It’s almost in between a “shooting” and a “mass shooting”. He also missed the point of the event. This was a correspondent’s dinner, and the spotlight wasn’t on Trump. He planned to make his speech and leave. The main event was the awards for the year. People are asking why they kept going after everything was back to normal. Well, they paid for everything, for one. Let’s get back to business for the other. Personally, I was hoping they would continue since it would show how strong they are. And they did.
By the way, I read the manifesto. It was extremely interesting and is a quick read. This is not a man just picking up a gun or bringing in a gun and firing indiscriminately. This is an educated, has his shizzle together guy who was tired of the way our country is being abused by an administration that cares nothing for the people of America. He planned very carefully and then tried to follow that plan. Obviously, it didn’t work. I’ll restrain myself from going any further.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Susan, you are not only a terrible writer but a terrible person as well. The way you fawn over this would be mass murderer is nothing short of disgusting. This piece of shit’s manifesto was not interesting, it was gross and showed the misguided self important attitude of the ENTIRE left. He was educated but thankfully nothing more than an incompetent coward. He obviously didn’t have his shit together duh, he’s clearly mentally impaired and unstable and you talk about him like he’s some swell guy you’d like to have drinks with! And you don’t have to restrain yourself from speaking further. The cat is out of the bag, YOU WISH that some Republicans were murdered the other night.
You and all you hateful violent leftists can eat a bag!
