@newsguyusa Black, Californian, he/him in profile, almost the ideal suspect.

@newsguyusa It's too much to hope that the news media doesn't keep going on and on about this event, allowing it to hijack the news cycle...

@newsguyusa
Working in the test prep industry is not a normal use of those degrees.

@me_valentijn @newsguyusa i beg to differ. this is a lucrative and flexible early career position, particularly in the current job market.

@newsguyusa can you blame him?

[2003mugishaphocit@mastodon.social]

@newsguyusa Has been Trump and his adminstration unliked to such extent!
They should learn from the previous leaders what to do in such a time!
Between Trump and his officials and the world citizens,who is on the right position!
I said the world citizens because almost the whole world has been disorganised and people accuse Trump and his allie,Isreal as the main causes

@newsguyusa is there a credible source for this information? Or does it come from Trump appointees?

[passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social]

@newsguyusa well, boys will be boys. He looks like a good kid, I’m sure he’s learned his lesson here.

The suspect in the shooting last night at the Washington Hilton regularly trained with firearms and "had a ton of anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on his social media accounts," according to Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, who'll be the next WHCA president.

@newsguyusa the same Fox News that lie as much as they breathe?

[allisonhooper@mas.to]

@newsguyusa Naturally.

@newsguyusa Interesting when professional police handle an armed suspect they capture them alive. While other federal cops just murder unarmed or non-threatening legally armed citizens.

[distractal@hachyderm.io]

@newsguyusa Both these sources are compromised, waiting to hear from more reliable sources.

In an email to family, Cole Allen, referring to himself as ‘ coldForce Friendly Federal Assassin,’ noted he entered the Washington Hilton “with multiple weapons” and no one considered he could be a threat. He said his targets were Trump administration officials, except for FBI director Patel.
