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.'

Good report, very interesting details.
I wonder why he took the train to Chicago rather than through the middle of the country?
Is that route cheaper or faster?

What was he actually carrying? A handgun and a shotgun seem a bit much, since he only had two hands and one of the guns would obstruct his using the other. Also he ran very fast for somebody burdened by a shotgun and a pistol, a pistol he fired at one SS agent.
Please respond with your theories. I’m wearing flame proof clothes.
Could be another smart guy suffering from late developing paranoid schiz....or a paid assassin who use mind altering drugs....how did he know that the , pres, v.p. and the speaker of the house would be there? I thought those peeps should never be in one spot together.
I don’t know the details, but my first thought is that it’s possible to holster a handgun.
“Madame” is probably more accurate.
But I quibble…
So he approached a SS checkpoint while holding a shotgun? Good way to get himself killed. Also, what kind of a shotgun was it?
Any videos floating around of demonrat politicians or social media darlings running around and screaming like lunatics while the mayhem was happening?
“ if you’ve seen some the clips from CNN, MS Now, or ‘The View’, its what they’ve been spoin feeding their Leftist watchers.”
Stochastic terrorists.
The left in the USA, both media and the Democrats in DC, or not lunatics. They are evil.
Agree...break all highway and railroad egress and ingress into the city., attack airports when supply planes come in and are parked on the taxi areas.blow up airport fuel supplies...sink a few ships in the harbor...mess up the banking computers and foment a rebellion from the non leftists....done
“’I’m not a schoolkid blown up…”
A reference to the Iranian girl’s school next to the IRGC site.
‘… Allen regularly went to a shooting range to train with his firearms and was a part of a group called “The Wide Awakes,” the sister said in the interview, according to the official. His sister said he attended a “No Kings” anti-Trump protest in California at some point.…’

Interesting, but someone tell Raskin that a UBC would not have caught this guy aforehand.
We don’t need a universal background check, what is needed is a universal TDS check.
No site that uses Charlie Kirk’s image as its avatar without the full consent of Charlie Kirk’s wife is a trustworthy site for information of any kind, that us deliberate deception, an “appeal to peer authority.”
“I’m not the fisherman executed without trial.”
I assume he’s referring to the narco terrorists running drugs.
body.”
Records show that Allen purchased a Maverick 12 gauge shotgun in August 2025 and an Armscor Precision .38 semi-automatic pistol in October 2023.—— Suspect in White House Correspondents’ dinner shooting wrote of targeting Trump administration, NBC News,

That and he belonged to a local group at a gun club called “The Wideawakes.”
He also volunteered at an Asian nonprofit associated with the community college.
This connection nay it may not be interesting because there was an “Asian” nonprofit involved in another wannabe shooter case associated with an Arizona community college … in that case, which came up after the Kirk assassination, it was a trans group, As I recall.
In his hometown there was a previous mass shooter, supposedly a Trump supporter, who did a shooting up in Oregon or Washington.
Steam:
According to LinkedIn, Allen began working as a “self-employed” indie game developer in September 2018, and appears to have released an “atomic fighting game” called Bohrdom on Steam that year. In a trailer for the game,according to WIRED, it is described as a “non-violent, skill-based, asymmetrical fighting game loosely based on a chemistry model that is itself loosely based on reality.”

Dylan Wakayama, president of the Asian American Civic Trust, told NBC News that Allen tutored one student who volunteers at his Torrance-based nonprofit, as well as the sibling of another.
“They described him as someone who was very intelligent,” Wakayama said. “They never would have expected this.”
The student who received tutoring from Allen told Wakayama that she had met with him as recently as April 14 and there were no signs that anything was amiss.
“It’s been that recent,” she texted Wakayama Saturday night, according to him. “Bio, math, English, Science, literally everything.”

Will be interesting to see if he was radicalized by just the media TDS or if he was groomed by someone online.
