A California man was arrested near the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters early Monday morning after Capitol Police found a bayonet and machete in his car.

Donald Craighead, 44, was arrested for possession of prohibited weapons after a Capitol Police officer pulled him over and found the weapons in his truck, which are illegal in Washington, D.C., authorities noted.

At around midnight on Monday, Capitol Police said a Special Operation Division officer who was on patrol pulled over a Dodge Dakota pickup truck outside DNC headquarters that had a swastika and other white supremacists symbols painted on it.

Yes. A real serious case would, of course drive around in a truck without a license plate.

A better idea is to swap the front and rear plates, to confuse the cops.

Was the bayonet mounted on the machete, or vice versa?

and other “white supremacist” symbols

Would this be the emblems of car brands made in the USA by Union workers?

Or RIGHT-hand turn signals?

I drove my kids to school for years with a machete in the trunk that I had forgotten was there.

Bayonet and Machette

This is the “Little Cultural Overlap” we just heard about.

That’s a great way to avoid the attention of the police: put a swastika and white-supremacists slogans on your car and drive around with no plates in a heavily-policed, 90% Democrat, 60% black city. He might as well put a sign on his car that said “pull me over and arrest me.” And they wonder why we are suspicious of stories like this! It seems a perfect set-up for the narrative they are laying.

It’s funny how the left always has to tell us conservatives what the white-supremacist symbols and “dog whistles” are, because we’ve never heard of them.

Yes, he is 100% a nut-job. But he does hold extremist views. He’s not some FBI plant or ANTIFA in disguise, is my point.

60 people shot in Chicago over the weekend and a garden tool and a knife make the national news?

Um... There’s nobody at the DNC headquarters at midnight or for several hours thereafter. This is beyond fishy. I’m not buying any of it.

still scratchin my head:

...pulled over a Dodge Dakota pickup truck outside DNC headquarters that had a swastika and other white supremacists symbols painted on it.

Why would the DNC have painted their headquaters bldg with a swastika and other white supremacists symbols ?

Because everyone in DC drives around with Nazi symbols on their car.

Near the DNC headquarters?

Yes, but the important questions are... Who did he have a meeting with while he was there and where was he going next?

He was probably getting ready to go in and get his instructions and directions to the DC Republican National Headquarters!

In some countries politics can be hazardous to your health. Especially when you keep f’ng with elections or even with the perception you are. Both sides need to understand that. If they want to cheat like bandits in elections, they should be ready to die for it and live with the risk. Hate to say it, and somebody might complain, but it’s a matter of time if they keep at it.

To bad the guy is a nut case, or it would be a Second Amendment case.

Very few 2A cases involving knives, so far.

Knife Rights is working on eliminating those stupid knife laws.
