Guy strikes me as a raving lunatic. And he was probably grifting HARD on any donations sent to the organization he was running. | |||

I hope some agent or three doing their dead level best Joe Friday and Harry Gannon impersonations have reminded the POS that Guantanamo Bay is only an hour's flight away from West Palm Beach...He'll talk. | |||

The gun charges are basically a place holder for other charges. The gun charges will get him a no bond in front of a federal magistrate and hold him until the USDistrict Attorney can file the other charges. It’s not the only thing he’s gonna be charged with.

I agree with Dick Morris...for once. I can't stand the guy and will never forgive him for the damage he helped bring to our country, but he is right about Trump in an interview I saw today. He stated that the future of our country depends on Donald Trump staying alive. He (Trump) needs to stop being reckless with his own safety. Stop playing golf for a few months, stop doing outdoor rallies, etc.... The deep state (USSS, FBI, DOJ, Homeland Security, CIA, etc...) has no interest in keeping him alive. Oh sure, individual agents might...might, but the leadership doesn't. It is up to him to keep himself safe and stop doing shit that could get him killed. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

It's not ridiculous at all...clearly, and I'm not at all suggesting that he "hide in the basement". He should just begin using his head, while it is still where it belongs. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Having outdoor rallies is not reckless. Playing golf is not reckless. Taking precautions yes, but a true leader doesn't hide. Q | |||

Such as, do you think? I ran across a Fox interview of some attorney who mentioned attempted murder. That’s obviously what springs to mind, but as far as I believe is known at present, he never fired his rifle. “Attempted attempted murder”—? Planning and preparing to the point of making an overt act such as hiding in the bushes with a gun could result in a conspiracy charge if anyone else was involved, but if it’s only one individual? I know about placeholders, but based on my admittedly narrow understanding of criminal law nothing springs to mind. I’m therefore genuinely curious what our authorities might think and why I asked the question. ► 6.4/93.6 “Cet animal est très méchant, quand on l’attaque il se défend.” | |||

The guy seems to have been prolific on social media. What are the chances he posted threats to Trump’s life? Would there be applicable charges at that point? | |||

I agree 100% 12131. If the government agencies can not protect high profile presidential candidates then outsource it to Eric Prince. I bet the outer perimeter of that golf course would be patrolled so a want to be assassin could not lie outside a fence for 12 hours waiting on President Trump. There would be actual reconnaissance and perimeter security. We have drones with thermal imaging, dogs, all sorts of security measures that could stop the amateurs that have attempted these assassinations. Thank God that a determined person that actually knows what they are doing has not taken the opportunity to take President Trump out. This is nothing but Government failures, plain and simple. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

They could never leave 18 USC 922-940 and wrap him up for the rest of his days. I’m willing to bet the guns were probably straw purchased. That alone adds 15 years. Given his history, he’ll be on the upper end of the sentencing range. 15 years on the gun charges, 15 years on the straw, at 85 percent to serve. That’s not even to count other violations involving interstate commerce as outlined in 18 USC. | |||

Also 77 prior arrests add to his point scoring for sentencing purposes in Federal Court. | |||

That was my vague thought, so thanks. As usual, though, the Internet is rife with self-styled experts who like Mr. “the SKS is a Russian AK-47” won’t hesitate to offer confident opinions with no basis of actual knowledge. It will nevertheless be interesting to see what happens to him (if he remains alive*). * Something else that a commentator on YouTube mentioned several times today when discussing the incident. Oh, well: What would some people do without the possibility of nefarious conspiracies to entertain them? Is it possible that the cabal managed to find another total loser to carry out their evil designs? Yes, but I will require a bit more than baseless speculation to ultimately convince me. ► 6.4/93.6 “Cet animal est très méchant, quand on l’attaque il se défend.” | |||

Another thing of specific interest the secret service agent said at the press conference today was that Trump playing golf there was not part of his planned schedule, in response to some of the questioning. If that is the case, then how did the assassin know to stake out that golf course for 12 hours and how was he not discovered during that time??? -Dtech __________________________ "I've got a life to live, people to love, and a God to serve!" - sigmonkey "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

My guess is just that. But, it’s a guess based on 5 years working on a fed task force. And exclusively working cases in 18 USC. | |||

Peace through superior firepower |
A couple of pages back: ...and he was discovered, but not until the Secret Service came around. You think they've got men and dogs beating every inch of brush on the perimeter of a golf course? The guy secreted himself in that spot at 1:30 in the morning, when no one was around, then waited. | |||
