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.'

The Media turned him into an Assassin with the constant roar of indoctrination. They are the ones who need to be tried and convicted.
Ya know, this whole political assassination thingy can go both ways.
I’m just saying.

End stage TDS isn’t pretty.
He is possessed of some markedly bizarre notions.
Sad that this type of hair-brain is teaching our children.
But it kind of explains why California’s population has become uniformly illiterate.
There were several MSM celebrities that boycotted the dinner. What did they know and when did they know it?
“’I’m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. “
Visions of 400 EBT card holders dancing in my head. So deprived, so abused.
This Civil War they are trying to instigate won’t go well for them.
500,000,000 is a LOT of guns. And we have almost all of them.
We have at least a dozen certified one mile shooters at our club. That’s two shots on a man sized target at one mile in front of 2 witnesses. There are even more who are certified 1,000 yard shooters.
I’m working on joining their ranks right now.

Not surprised. Many of my liberal acquaintances describe Trump using the exact same language. In the liberal blogosphere, all these adjectives are thrown around as fact.
I love me a
manifesto.
“What did they know and when did they know it?”
Just barely after he hit the floor and was handcuffed, somehow the Secret Service knew that he was a lone gunman. Don’t know exactly how they knew that. They started investigating him immediatly, but that little bit of knowledge did not need to be investigated, obviously.
“And we have almost all of them.”
Certainly we have the vast majority of rifles.
And rifles always win the shootout.
Bizarre to any rational person. But if you've seen some the clips from CNN, MS Now, or 'The View', its what they've been spoin feeding their Leftist watchers.
hold it right there, Hoss.
THey’ll simply pass a law saying we can’t USE our guns against them and THAT will stop a hot war from ever happening.
I mean, they use that kind of toddler reasoning for crime control all the time anyway, ya think they won’t do it?
I have family members who use this exact same language to explain their hatred of the president. I’m estranged from several of them, for my own safety.
I'm not the person raped in a Federal prison detention camp.
so did he associate more with his White side, and pity those on his black side? Gotta be quite the tug of war going on in that noggin
Yeah, at the rifle range, I am one of the worst. I embarrass myself.
But here’s another weird fact of being me:
To train for a Griz encounter, I load up my day pack, strap a .357 Ruger Blackhawk in my chest rig, go for a run around the parking lot until winded, run up to the line (I’m alone on the handgun range, my buddy rangemaster is over on the rifle range) spin three times until dizzy and breathless, and hit 4 / 6 on 7” steel at 25 yards as fast as I can pull the hammer. That took some practice, but I run into Griz every single time I go to Glacier. I’m kinda ready next time.
It is WAY past time the lunatic left is held to account for these people.
