White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter's chilling manifesto revealed: Gunman called himself 'The Friendly Federal Assassin' and named high-ranking targets just minutes before opening fire

The gunman who opened fire outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner called himself the 'Friendly Federal Assassin' in a chilling manifesto he wrote before the attack.

Cole Allen, 31, sent the eerie anti-Trump writing to his family members just 10 minutes before he fired shots at the hotel in Washington, where the ritzy press gala was taking place on Saturday night.

The harrowing writing was given to police by a relative, a US official said.

According to the New York Post, Allen's manifesto read: 'Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I'm not the person raped in a detention camp. I'm not the fisherman executed without trial.

'I'm not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor's crimes.

'In order to minimize casualties I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls).

'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.'

His targets included 'Administration officials (not including [FBI Director Kash] Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.'

Allen wrote, allegedly referencing the president: 'I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.'

And who taught him and taunted him into hate Trump so much?

Those same people in the hotel ballroom waiting for Trump to tell them where to go in a comical fashion... They are responsible for this visceral hatred, because they spew it on a daily basis.

He was not raised in poverty.
He did not go to poor schools.
His father was apparently active with the family.
He was exposed to Christianity.

He lives in a world where he is constantly bombarded with bad news and how it is the Republican’s fault.

He lives in a world where things can be fixed with a screwdriver or a few strokes on a keyboard.

He lives in a world where he constantly must compare himself to movie stars and professional athletes and millionaires.

He longed for fame and fortune and easy cures for hard problems.

He is smart, well educated and a hard worker, but he isn’t achieving the success he feels he should have.

He becomes bitter.

The Democrats tell him every day that it is the Republican’s fault.

The Republicans are hurting him and billions of people around the world.

That is all that he hears.

He believes himself to be a problem solver.

He can solve this problem.

He must kill Republicans.

In a world filled with greedy, hateful, jealous people, a naive soul who works with open/closed circuits is easily manipulated to do their murderous bidding.

It won’t take much to fight a civil war. A few check points stopping trucks delivering food in to the cities will starve them out. A few people take over utility services will drown them in sewage with no running water or electricity. It would be the liberal city clowns versus the country boys who produce everything needed for food.

Most cities have deep water ports and can resupply by sea.

Exactly. From their perspective, it would be a just act.

Why exactly, do the White House Correspondents, need an ‘Association’?

Ya know, this whole political assassination thingy can go both ways.

It rarely does, though. Kennedy is the only Democrat president to be assassinated. The other three were Republican, and if you add the wounding of Ronald Reagan and Trump, you see a distinct pattern.

He was distraught because social mediots propagandized him into believing that narcotics with four or more incredibly expensive boat motors on each boat were mere “fishermen.”

The guy is apparently an affirmative action engineer because he is too stupid to see that fishermen couldn’t afford to rig their boats like that nor would they be running their boats without fishing gear.

But how was it possible for this wackjob to even have a gun? California and DC already have strict gun control laws.

... told CBS News that the suspected gunman was part of a group called The Wide Awakes and that he attended a No Kings protest in California.

A deprogrammer and a hypnotist might help - and protect this guy's life BETTER than Epstein's...

Perhaps a weird attempt on his part or his handlers’ part to sow distrust within the base.

In the past several months there has been the drumbeat from the left and assorted malcontents against Bondi and Patel and Hegseth.

Bondi they finally got out, Hegseth apparently didn’t attend unless I missed him being mentioned, but Patel did.
