Ten minutes before unleashing the chaos at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, Cole Allen sent an e-mail to his relatives that today is the key piece of the investigation.
The New York Post obtained the 1,052-word manifesto in which the 31-year-old engineer justifies his assassination attempt under the premise: “What my representatives do reflects on me”.
What does Cole Allen’s manifesto say?

Allen wasn’t going for just anyone.
In his text, he identified almost all of Donald Trump’s cabinet as priority targets.
The one notable exception was Kash Patel, director of the FBI.
Most disturbing is their “ethic” of attack:
Ammunition: Used buckshot instead of bullets to avoid going through walls and avoid “collateral casualties”.
Secret Service: Marked them as targets only if “necessary”, expecting them to wear vests so as not to kill them, but only to “incapacitate” them.
Accomplices for attending: Although he wanted to avoid civilians, he wrote that if he had to go over the guests’ heads, he would do so, as he considered them “accomplices” for attending the president’s event.

This is the part that has Washington on fire.
Cole Allen made a mockery of Washington Hilton hotel security.
According to his brief, he expected metal detectors and agents every three meters, but encountered “nothing”.
“I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person considers the possibility that I am a threat,” Allen wrote.
He claimed that security was so focused on the protesters outside that no one checked those who, like him, checked in a day earlier.
“Any Iranian agent could have brought a heavy machine gun and no one would have noticed,” he sentenced in his letter.
Fanaticism or Justice? Its Christian refutation
Allen, who traveled from Los Angeles, included a question-and-answer section in his manifesto.
To the idea of “turning the other cheek” as a Christian, he responded that this only applies when you yourself are the oppressed, not when you see others suffer.
Although Trump claimed on Fox News that the attack was out of “anti-Christian hatred,” Allen’s text suggests that he saw himself as acting under a religious morality to punish what he calls a government of “criminals.”
What about you Onnda, do you think after reading this that the Secret Service needs to roll heads for their “arrogance” or did the shooter just get lucky?
