In the video that saw, it looked like the SS and other security people were standing next to the entrance, but not right at it, not physically blocking it with their bodies. I could not see the actual entrance, but from the speed that Allen was running at, it seems like there was no physical barrier blocking the entrance.

Allen raced rapidly right past security. He was quickly followed by one man in uniform who looked to me like a police officer. That officer had his gun drawn and was shouting at Allen, who I could not see at that point in the video. The police officer was searching alone for a while before other security personnel joined him.

The video that I saw did not show Allen shooting the gun. It did not show the actual takedown of Allen, only his body on the floor, face down, after he was subdued.

All of his higher-level stuff is a shit-show, so why expect more at lower levels?

Set up?

Scam?

Get out the 4 inch gauze pads!

All because of the Epstein files

Seems pretty easy to prove; he's still alive.

It was rally attendees who spotted him first and even when they pointed Crooks out to security, the building wasn't immediately surrounded, swarmed or anything like that. It was just one guy who tried to access the roof from outside. Very lucky for Trump that one LE guy made Crooks shoot a little sooner than he wanted.

Now this guy just waltzes by security with a fucking shotgun? Such total BS.

When I'd go to pro sports teams games, I used to look around and think about what destruction a determined person could cause despite the presence of cops, fencing and scanners.

shows that

and security steeped aside instead of tackling him.

:

Haven't seen much about him yet

WTF is going on?


Trump knew?


..........

Edited to add info: (From Al Jazeera) "The chief of Washington, DC’s police department said investigators think the suspect was staying as a guest at the Washington Hilton, where the annual dinner was held, though they have not yet established a motive."

"Facebook posts appearing to be linked to Allen indicate he was recognised as 'Teacher of the Month' in December 2024 by the Torrance branch of C2 Education, a national private tutoring and test-preparation company for college-bound students."

"A LinkedIn profile under the suspect’s name describes him as a 'mechanical engineer and computer scientist by degree, independent game developer by experience and teacher by birth."

"Allen contributed $25 to a Democratic Party political action committee in support of Kamala Harris for president in 2024, according to federal campaign finance records."

with a profile pic of Charlie Kirk and a not so subtle antisemitic jab.

This is already running out of control.

Teacher by birth?

IDF?

I guess to garner voter sympathy for an evil asshole sitting at the table who will probably try and use this to install martial law.

First time in ten years since Obama lit him up

Just one moe coincidence i suppose

He's probably a disgruntled job seeker. Busted his ass to complete rigorous training in his field, caught up in endless layoffs and underpaying jobs. Tutoring and substituting as a last resort to survive. It broke him.

I see these stories posted on Reddit all day long. Young educated people are living desperate lives - can't get jobs, afford a place to live, etc. I would not be surprised to see more lash out like this.

That's my theory...

(which I did) and the reality is trying to get past the ironic requirement of "having (prior) experience" for what is an "entry level" job.

I.e., it's rare to have a company hire someone right out of college. So then that student is encouraged to go into more debt to get more degrees an go into more debt, with little chance of that being "enough".

This is a weakness of the STEM fields where there have been few "internship" or similar programs for students to participate in to at least put that on their resumes. Meaning these companies don't want to spend money to train some up-and-comings to be future employees (some giving the excuse of being afraid of spending money on training/internships only for their "trainee" to get "hired away" ).

“Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”

" Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.

They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want:

They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests.

Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that!

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club. "

Gonna have to rewatch that movie. Ned Beatty is terrifying in this scene.

and except for the changes in the Dow 30 companies and the existence of the Euro as a currency since then (knocking out some of the ones he mentions), everything else applies.

(including the one with the routine referenced)

I still like his "Stuff" one.

The on-ramp has been destroyed. These are our best and brightest young folks. I feel deeply for their distress.

choosing to get a masters in computer science and then just end up tutoring is a little weird.

these things are appearing to be Red Herrings, chock full of question marks.......

His speech afterwards was full of things to be analyzed about what happened and about him!

...it shows how disliked he is. I think of that episode of The Sopranos when someone takes a shot at him and the FBI tries to scare him into testifying by telling him and Carmela "The assassination attempts will not stop!"

Teacher, different color, damn casting for MAGA boogie man were covering the bases. He will be Gay, Muslim, an Antifa high ranking member that loves Springsteen by end of the week.

Not unusual to demonize such a person.

Not unusual for conspiracy theories to grow like mushrooms on a forest floor after rain.

Not unusual for Trump to use this as a 'photo op' to big note himself and as distraction from all the other 'stuff'.

Carry on.
Just another normal day in Trumpmanistan.
(Glad I don't live there.)
