It happened again: a deranged leftist, Cole Allen, fueled by hate, came too close to assassinating President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday night.
Allen, who lives in Torrance, California, is a 31-year-old teacher and video game developer. He charged at the security checkpoint, right outside the ballroom. Before being tackled, Allen fired shots, hitting one Secret Service agent, who will make a full recovery because he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Ironically, the dinner was held at the Washington Hilton, where President Ronald Reagan was seriously wounded by John Hinckley, Jr. on March 30, 1981.
Allen is believed to have traveled to Washington, D.C. by train

Watch the video of Allen running past the perimeter guard. The guard steps out of the way to let him pass rather than blocking him or tripping him. Some 'guard'. The agent then pivots around and kneels, draws his gun. Can't tell if he fires. Very slow on the uptake.
In any case, apparently several SS agents fired at Allen....nobody hit him.
Not impressive. These clowns need a LOT more training.

This is why I pray for President Trump and his family every day, that the Lord would protect him

Regarding the security lapses by the Secret Service - “First time is by Chance, Second Time is Deliberate.” The current head of the Secret Service needs to be fired and an outside Law Enforcement Person, loyal to President Trump, needs to be installed to clean house at the Secret Service, especially all the DEI hires, and bring in the Special Forces to provide security for the President. There will be more attempts on President Trump by the communist, Islamist death democrat party. Bet on it.

What about the Hilton’s role in this? Hilton checked this guy into their hotel the day before, and they knew the WHCD was happening. Why was Cole able to get access to a hotel storage closet near the ballroom? Is there no coordination between Hilton and govt security?

He likely travelled by train because he didn't want to fly his guns across country. Chief of Staff Suzy Wiles left the same person in charge of security that was in Butler, PA. Trump brought too many people back to this administration that was in his first administration when those in charge of hiring brought in compromised people.

Why does this situation put me in mind of Uriah the Hittite? PDJT should say to the head of SS: clean out your Playskool desk; you don't work here anymore.

When I learned of how lax the security was for this event, I was shocked. As a retired federal employe, I could not even get into the office suite of the Secretary of the VA or Transportation or any of the other agencies I once worked for. They all had better security for their Secretary then the USSS has for President Trump.

Looks like the killer felt like Michael walking into the hospital where Don Vito was being treated. There has to be a reason. Three times is enemy action!

As soon as I saw the video, I thought: why was there such a large gap for this guy to run through?
For next time: bring a portable barrier -- six feet high -- and force people to stop, walk to the side for a few feet, and then proceed. That's simple and inexpensive.

imho, nobody is this reckless and criminally stupid for this damlong for no earthly reason, other than treachery.
the 'leaky svc ' is unworthy , utterly dysfunctional; they should be sunk for the ship of fools they are.
pdt hating bureaucrats like wiles thune and polly pockets are not pdt allies; the endless attacks
-by gop-e and the damassassincrats make this clear. boot them!
none of these ppl protect or serve the country. restructure. re-orient.
we must be put on high security, high alert, war footing. these dopey parties are really target practise.
embarrassing.
no foreign companies should be scarfing up usa contracts--for what? patronage? pressure?
my family remembers, decades ago, when fnc/britt hume and carl cameron[?] reported a foreign
contract was given to a foreign country for the fbi's phone works [poss israel-not certain].
turns out the product was riddled w/ back doors. shameful.
forgetting these lessons, the thickheads in tx granted sensitive desalinisation contracts to a foreign country
-probably israel, last we heard-as though the usa doesn't have plenty of competent companies.
what are these ppl playing at, besides more treachery-with scoops of bribery and scandal for luck??
disgraceful.
friends, it's later--and worser--than we think

Re #3, that is the LEAST likely possibility, IMO.

Allen's manifesto points out how ridiculously lax the security was ahead of this event. Mullin needs to clean the USSS of everyone, the Director on down, who had responsibility for this fiasco.
And get that ballroom built!

Pathetic. Everyone connected with this FAILED. As bad as Butler, probably worse, since they should have been paranoid after that cluster. Whats the problem? Not enough agents, hire more, better yet pull some from the rat side. Agents too stupid, lazy or DEI leftovers to do their job and control EVERY door, out to the street? We have plenty of retired military who fought for this country in every stinking hole on earth. HIRE them and FIRE the slow dopes that currently can't stop a manic from simply running past them.
