The last words of the man arrested for the attempted attack against Trump before the attack: "I will not allow..."

Cole Allenwho has been identified as main suspect in Washington shootingleft a written message to his family moments before bursting into the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with a firearm. “I have no intention of allowing a pedophile, rapist and traitor to stain my hands with his crimes.“says the text that has been leaked to several American media outlets. “I feel angry when I think about everything this administration has done.”

In addition to trumpAllen also intended to attack public officesnot including FBI Director Kash Patel. “They are the objective, prioritizing from the highest position to the lowest“. On the other hand, the message points out that security and hotel personnel “are not targets, if possible.” Although in the case of Secret Service agents it expresses its intention to “incapacitate them in a non-lethal way” because they are “targets only if necessary.” The document also explains that it uses pellets and not bullets to prevent further damage.

The letter includes a question and answer part about his intentions and in one part he refers to the Christian saying that one must turn the other cheek. However, consider that “Turning the other cheek when another person is oppressed is not Christian, but rather complicity in the crimes of the oppressor.“So, quote”rapes in detention centers“, to “fishermen executed without trial“oa”the teenager raped by the many criminals of this administration“.

Regarding the fact of the attack itself, he argues that America is a rule of lawbut that “When representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one owes them anything“. On a practical level, the alleged perpetrator of the events expresses his surprise at the lack of security inside the hotelwith the measures aimed mainly at the outside world and at the protesters. “It seems like no one has thought about what happens if someone signs up the day before. This level of incompetence is insane.”

This level of incompetence is insane.

The suspect also specifically addressed his family and friends to tell them that “If there had been another way to do it, I would have done it.“Finally, he opted for the initial plan by rushing through the security checkpoint on Saturday night to access the event at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where Trump, several members of his government and journalists were present, but he was subdued by the agents, but not before wounding one of them with a shot.
