A man who was carrying ammunition was arrested near the Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles County over the weekend as the president announced a Southern California visit for a Republican National Committee event on Tuesday.

In a news release shared by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, deputies said that plainclothes federal agents reported a suspicious individual on the property at 1 Trump National Drive in Rancho Palos Verdes on Saturday afternoon.

"The individual was observed walking throughout the golf course grounds taking photographs and videos and appearing to monitor security-planning activities," the release said.

When deputies approached the man, who has been identified as 38-year-old Downey resident Jeanine John Taele, they determined he was already under investigation by the El Segundo Police Department for a separate incident.

What’s he going to use? A sling shot, bow and arrow, catapult, trebuchet, just what was the azzhole carrying and what was the weapon. Incase you missed it, a sand wedge in a freaking golf bag is ammo.

This article has more detail than the posted article. Among other details it states:

Deputies detained Taele and located his vehicle in a parking lot on the golf course...During the detention, deputies recovered a 16-round magazine containing hollow point ammunition from Taele's pants pockets.

While searching his vehicle, deputies...also recovered a loaded pistol with a round chambered and an additional loaded magazine that also had hollow point ammo. Recognizing the potential security implications surrounding the incident, detectives...executed a search warrant yesterday afternoon for Taele's residence..."

Investigators said that an illegally modified AR platform rifle, a 1911 .45 caliber pistol, an AR platform upper receiver, body armor, high-capacity magazines, bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, two radio signal devices and multiple notebooks containing "concerning statements" were recovered from the home.

You’re probably not a journalist trying to stir up 💩. You’re probably a smart person with an inquiring mind. Some one that can say,hey, LEO ought to look into this. Thank you. A POX on azzholes just stirring

I’m sure there’s more but we probably won’t hear it.

Here's why you never heard of it as a MAN's name...

Wikipedia and other name-databases confirm Jeanine is used exclusively as a feminine name — it's a variant of Jean/Jeanne (from Hebrew Yochanan, "God is gracious"), common in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the US, and Canada, always as a woman's name. Gender-tracking data puts male usage at roughly 0.4% globally.

Germany has the highest male ratio of "Jeanine" at 1.2%, followed by France (0.9%), Switzerland (0.8%), Belgium (0.6%), South Africa (0.5%), Netherlands (0.3%), Brazil (0.2%), Canada (0.1%), and the US at 0.0% (i.e., every recorded case is female).

("Male ratio" is the percentage of people with a given name in a given country who are recorded as male, out of everyone with that name in their dataset)

But all bets are off with trannies.

That’s not all (settling aside “A Boy Named Sue” Johnny Cash) a modified AR platform don’t take much. Folding stock, laser pointer, expanded ejection ramp, left side eject, yada yada yada. I’ve built 5 of them. None meet military spec. They are my choices. Lefty op, 6.5 Grendel, heavy barrel and match grade triggers. I like the design and enjoy range shooting. It ain’t the gun. It’s the nut pulling the trigger. 3-6 lbs. trigger pull is the culprit, who’s doing it and why. There in is the root cause.

Had a friend said AR-15 is just a redneck Barbie Doll. Dress the bitch any way you want an tell her get in the truck. Rick USMC. Godspeed.

Ever think a gun that has no trace of gun powder be hidden on the course?
