Isn't this the same administration that mandated it to be legal to open carry in DC? Despite the municipal law saying otherwise?

stop hunting the orange shitgibbon, the cabinet are far more accessible
Heritage foundation members and media owners are much easier targets. Get rid of the other bankrolling and promoting their lies
The National Mall is not "near" the White House.
it is if you want to build a narrative
I mean. Kinda is
"The National Mall" is anywhere between 2000 ft and 2 miles from the White House
Time travelers are starting to come back now and more. The fixed point in time is coming.
For people who know the future they sure do seem poorly prepared.
There arent weapons in the future they can practice with, all they have are the sims and those don't exactly behave like real weapons
The future changes slightly once they arrive, so they don't know exactly what to expect. Dude, do you even know anything about time travel?
I know enough not to fool with it.
Very important detail from the article:
The man fled on foot after being approached by the officers, drew his weapon and opened fire, Quinn said.
That's the reason why the Secret Service shot him. Although it's still unclear what made him "suspicious" for officers to approach him.
From the guys that brought you "the iran war is over" and "alex pretti drew a gun"
What Iran war? It's not a war. Also, it's insubordination to say the US is losing the war that they're not having.
We have always been at not-war with Eureast Asia.
I mean, that seems like a good reason, but its being given to you by the same people that said that Alex Pretti drew a gun and attacked ICE agents and Renee Goode tried to run over someone with her car.
If the statement is true then it makes sense. But I see no reason to believe that it is true until someone who isn't part of this administration corroborates it.
Yeah, I’d say being approached by officers is a good reason to open fire in the modern U.S.
You really can't take anything they say at face value.
I wonder if that detail is true, or yet another lie from the Trump administration.
You can always tell when the admin is lying, because their mouth is moving.
the only time they tell the truth is when karoline leavitt doesnt wear a large cross.
He's alike so we get to hear his side
Oh how cute, you believe the pig. Well isn't that special.
this had to be the 4th "assasination", by trump. it isnt working, it actually make people focuse on your current issues more than not.
I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR VIOLENCE
I like the energy but lone gunmen often don't get far, if your seeing and you're considering something like this, don't waster your life, find like minded individuals and start a movement to overthrow systems rather than singular people
at the very least, follow the $... the overwhelming majority of US politicians are just in it for the $...that $ comes from somewhwre (statistically, majority of it comes from about 20 people/families)
killing oligarchs would have much more impqct than some irrelevant olitician
Nice try, FBI honeypot
(Kidding)
No let him keep talking- I like how this guy thinks. You might say overthrowing governments is a hobby of mine
Do you have any LSD?
…wait, I mean boy do I love the invisible hand of the free market!!!
Wait... that's not a hand
I also am not advocating for violence. We need to hold trials that are just as fair as the ones held for Pretti and Goode.
...find like minded individuals and start a hit squad for increased odds of success.
Lone gunmen do it because they feel that they need to.
If you run into an assain once, it's probably has nothing to do with you...
But if an administration constantly running across assassins, maybe they're doing something to attract them?
It’s almost as if people don’t like them… crazy 🤷♂️
"Must...have...ballroom..."
~trump and his sycophants probably
Perhaps there should be a Wikipedia page which collects information about those incidents similar to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Adolf_Hitler
Damn, there's a lot of them.
Something about that one Wikipedia joke about the list not being complete and needing to be added to.
Project Valkyrie but it's a Big Mac with a hand grenade in it
They should shoot and kill the pedopredator hiding behind them
