"Cole Tomas Allen wrote that the assembled journalists and machers 'chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit.'"
"The most frightening shooters are not these yahoos but the smart ones-those who carefully plan, train, and choose their settings to inflict maximum damage."
"Allen graduated from the California Institute of Technology in 2017 and appears to have made a living as a test-prep tutor and college-admissions consultant."
"Despite being in California, it is not a Maoist redoubt. The only free radicals are in the chemistry labs."
Cole Tomas Allen planned to assassinate Donald Trump and his Cabinet during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He expressed his rage in a manifesto-like email, labeling attendees as complicit in Trump's actions. Although he arrived armed, he was apprehended before reaching the president. Random acts of violence are common, but the most dangerous shooters are those who plan meticulously. Allen, a Caltech graduate, had the potential for greater harm, but his plan failed, resulting in no casualties.
