The first reports of details of events like this are often wrong. Even when highly placed law enforcement are the ones talking.

Keep repeating a falsehood endlessly and some people will start believing it.

Manufacturing a false narrative is a common weapon found in the bag of tricks used by Fascists. It immediately creates false aspersions dumped upon your adversaries to dehumanize and to make more of a monster out of them. Ripe for scorn, ridicule, and intense hatred.

Kristi Noem, Gregory Bonvino, and Ka$h Patel do it all the time. Get your foot in the door before anyone else - then you control the narrative and the messaging.

Ethics and justice are conked in the head,... then tossed into and locked up in the trunk. The Fascists then become the designated drivers. trDUMP thinks this shows initiative and comments profusely in support of people of this caliber and ilk, because this is his go to modus operandi too. Fascist think, Fascists say, and Fascists do - as they mimic and proudly duplicate the ways of their hate filled brethren. Stuck in a self perpetuating cycle of achieving hellacious results.

If there is a lie to be lied or a fact to be ignored that would help her bend a narrative to be more to her liking, she will lie, ignore, and/or bend with all her might, every time.

it made it sound like he had actually shot at Trump but it missed.

Only hours later I saw he wasn't even in the room.

I have been in that Hilton for past conferences, and he was far, far away, not even on the same floor.

I've been to that Hilton for conventions, he was stopped on the floor above.

They are charging him with attempted assassination of the President.
He was NOWHERE near Dotard.

This was all staged for 2 reasons:

1. Distract from the TrumpStein files since an award for that reporting was to be given that night. No WAY Dotard was going to be present for that, and;

2. Shill for his stupid ballroom. Now it comes out the Repukes want the taxpayers to fund it! Who could have seen that coming??


November can't come soon enough.......

did anyone search trump's pockets for a ketchup packet??

This is serious business
Trump could have been
His Cabinet members could have

Thank Gawdz this Juice Box Gen Participation Trophy Shooter didn't harm anyone

The complete FBI charging affidavit:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.291782/gov.uscourts.dcd.291782.1.1_1.pdf

Brief section of the affidavit:



The charging affidavit does not specifically state Allen fired his weapon(s). It states: "As he did so, U.S. Secret Service personnel assigned to the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot. U.S. Secret Service Officer V.G. was shot once in the chest; Officer V.G. was wearing a ballistic vest at the time." The phrase "firearms that ALLEN possessed and/or fired at the Washington Hilton hotel in Washington, D.C. on April 25, 2026" is not very clear. The affidavit is very detailed in all other areas, but it doesn't say Allen shot an officer, or fired at anyone.

...if you knew the guy fired his gun.

Either they don't know -- how is that even a possibility at this point? -- or he didn't.

you'd think someone at the scene could state, with a degree of certainty, it was Allen who fired his weapon(s), and actually shot someone.

They just don't want to say. They don't want to admit that, "The SHOOTER", didn't shooted. And they would have to admit they were responsible for all of the mayhem. And they are really poor shots too. They took down one of their own. Real lucky there was no collateral damage.

Honest, I think Trump has this left handed super power. It's like an infection. People that are exposed to him get real stupid. At one time I, and I'm sure many others, would have said the Secret Service was the premier U.S. police force specializing in protection of principals. Now they really look like the Keystone Cops. Trump causes every person and institution around him to rot from the inside.

You would have to have some sort of super power to bankrupt five casinos.

I give ZERO credence to ANYTHING this administration says.

Meh, they fired off who knows how many rounds, missed the suspect and shot one of their own. Good grief.

(which is sometimes sorely lacking).

BTW, sounds like officer VG was not a very good shot.

. . . is that the two firearms that were recovered from Allen were ones that Allen himself had purchased in California. But they haven't established that either of those two weapons were actually fired on the premises!

Mind you, I don't want to be accused of posting "conspiracy theories" or "AI slop," but it does raise some questions.

Having a gun in DC is a crime and taken very seriously. The Jan 6thers stored their guns across the river in Va - they weren’t stupid, they knew what having A gun in DC meant let alone the luggage cart if them that they had.

Can’t carry in a place that serves alcohol.
Can’t open carry.
Non-residents can transport guns only unloaded and in a locked container

So he had a pistol and a shotgun.

it is like the scene from My Cousin Vinnie where Marisa Tomei states:

"Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction... One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark"

Ain't one fucking person in LE that confuse a long gun with a pistol.

There were 2 features needed:

1. Independent rear suspension.

2. Positraction.

There were 3 US made cars from the early 1960s with both features:

The 1963 Pontiac Tempest, the Chevrolet Corvette, and the Chevrolet Corvair.

The 1964 Buick Skylark mentioned in the film had a standard open differential.

See:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104952/quotes/

snip

Mona Lisa Vito: The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!
Vinny Gambini: And why not? What is positraction?
Mona Lisa Vito: It's a limited slip differential which distributes power equally to both the right and left tires. The '64 Skylark had a regular differential, which, anyone who's been stuck in the mud in Alabama knows, you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other tire does nothing.
Juror #1: That's right.
Vinny Gambini: Is that it?
Mona Lisa Vito: No, there's more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.
Vinny Gambini: And because both cars were made by GM, were both cars available in metallic mint green paint?
Mona Lisa Vito: They were!
Vinny Gambini: Thank you, Ms. Vito. No more questions. Thank you very, very much.
[kissing her hands]
Vinny Gambini: You've been a lovely, lovely witness.

2 door blue Monza like your 1st pic .
Loved that car , it was a three speed manual .

on there being an empty shell still in his shotgun. Forensics will try to find any buckshot at the scene to bolster that.

I watched the presser.and, read carefully: they dod not state he fired his shotgun.

Forgive me for being so conspiratorial...

They are the norm. The number of people shot by police trying to shoot at somebody else is breathtaking.

Either Allen shot the SS agent or someone else with a gun (likely LE) shot the agent.

Unless of course it was aliens.

"They both went for the gun!"

If his goal was to harm anyone he failed.

Haven't seen it reported on TV yet.

Seeing nobody died....release the videos

Though, I've only seen a snippet of the video circulating.

With metal detectors. He fell.

I didn't see a weapon drawn. Then again, the video is pretty blurry.

I think, given the manifesto, he likely planned to do what he said he was going to do. I also understand that police were made aware (by the family) prior.

I'm sure we'll learn more as time goes on.

The DOJ is going to need some additional details if they want my vote...
This is certainly not enough to convict someone of anything other than running in a hotel hallway.

That’s pretty clear

Just having them in dc is illegal but I agree there’s nothing showing the attempt was made yet

But we don't sentence people in jail for life or execute them for thinking about committing a crime. There needs to be a crime actually committed, and charged at the appropriate level.

There's still a lot of things he could be charged on, but not what the Administration is starting to position themselves to charge him with.

I'm not a mentalist or psychic (maybe mental or psycho, but that's something else), but I see jury nullification and/or charges being thrown out in his future.

The crossing of state lines to commit a crime is the first crime

There is too much bullshit that I can't even watch the local news. That's cause the suspect lives in LA.
BREAKING NEWS!
Enough with an assassination which never was.
Unless chump is going to build a ballroom in every public school, he can fuck off.
Politicians are not more important than our children!

there is not was the shoot would not have scattered, if it was a slugs he'd probably be in the morgue.they would cause blunt force trauma

The Manifesto said he would NOT use slugs. So unless it was very close range there is no way a bullet proof vest is full protection. The agent would have had hits to the arms and face.

To be very large. Buckshot at 25 feet only has a few inches of spread.

A self shooting among security

I've also heard conflicting info over who fired their gun. Was it the suspect or the SS? I'm confused. It's the reason I'm so sceptical of the official account. It seems very fluid.

While all the agents from various agents were running around in the hallway area, not knowing what they were dealing with, there was an officer who could be heard saying "what the fuck, what the fuck". And then a voice (I think it is the same one) can be heard saying: "WATCH YOUR CROSSFIRE".

I think there was friendly fire.

(not aimed at you, OP)

I agree.

was exactly what I thought when I heard an agent had been shot......Friendly fire..........

Gabby Giffords kind of stops this line of bullshit cold.

and his manifesto indicated a motive to kill people.

He was only stopped by courageous SS. Otherwise there would have been murders.

He will spend the rest of his life in prison.

It is against the law to attempt to use firearms to commit mass murder and to attempt to assassinate a President, any President. Even one that we disagree with.

He violated the gun laws of DC.

He belongs in prison with all the other nutcases that think they can use violence.

You settle political differences at the ballot box, not with a gun.
