Secret Service shoots armed suspect near White House after brief lockdown
An armed man was shot by US Secret Service (USSS) agents in downtown Washington on Monday, officials said, prompting a brief lockdown of the nearby White House. The shooting near the National Mall occurred shortly after a motorcade carrying Vice President JD Vance had passed by the area, USSS Deputy Director Matthew Quinn said. Quinn told reporters he did not believe that the vice president was an intended target and said he could not speculate if it was related to recent attempts on the life of President Donald Trump. "I'm not going to guess on that," he said. "Whether or not it was directed to the president or not, I don't know, but we will find out." Quinn said the shooting took place after Secret Service agents identified a "suspicious individual," who appeared to have a firearm.
Very important detail from the article:
That's the reason why the Secret Service shot him. Although it's still unclear what made him "suspicious" for officers to approach him.
I mean, that seems like a good reason, but its being given to you by the same people that said that Alex Pretti drew a gun and attacked ICE agents and Renee Goode tried to run over someone with her car.
If the statement is true then it makes sense. But I see no reason to believe that it is true until someone who isn't part of this administration corroborates it.
You really can't take anything they say at face value.
Yeah, I’d say being approached by officers is a good reason to open fire in the modern U.S.
I wonder if that detail is true, or yet another lie from the Trump administration.
You can always tell when the admin is lying, because their mouth is moving.
the only time they tell the truth is when karoline leavitt doesnt wear a large cross.
I don't know how that thing hasn't burned a hole right through her.
From the guys that brought you "the iran war is over" and "alex pretti drew a gun"
What Iran war? It's not a war. Also, it's insubordination to say the US is losing the war that they're not having.
We have always been at not-war with Eureast Asia.
He's alike so we get to hear his side
Oh how cute, you believe the pig. Well isn't that special.
I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR VIOLENCE
I like the energy but lone gunmen often don't get far, if your seeing and you're considering something like this, don't waster your life, find like minded individuals and start a movement to overthrow systems rather than singular people
Nice try, FBI honeypot
(Kidding)
No let him keep talking- I like how this guy thinks. You might say overthrowing governments is a hobby of mine
Do you have any LSD?
…wait, I mean boy do I love the invisible hand of the free market!!!
Wait... that's not a hand
at the very least, follow the $... the overwhelming majority of US politicians are just in it for the $...that $ comes from somewhwre (statistically, majority of it comes from about 20 people/families)
killing oligarchs would have much more impqct than some irrelevant olitician
I also am not advocating for violence. We need to hold trials that are just as fair as the ones held for Pretti and Goode.
...find like minded individuals and start a hit squad for increased odds of success.
Lone gunmen do it because they feel that they need to.
Time travelers are starting to come back now and more. The fixed point in time is coming.
For people who know the future they sure do seem poorly prepared.
The future changes slightly once they arrive, so they don't know exactly what to expect. Dude, do you even know anything about time travel?
I know enough not to fool with it.
There arent weapons in the future they can practice with, all they have are the sims and those don't exactly behave like real weapons
If you run into an assain once, it's probably has nothing to do with you...
But if an administration constantly running across assassins, maybe they're doing something to attract them?
It’s almost as if people don’t like them… crazy 🤷♂️
The National Mall is not "near" the White House.
it is if you want to build a narrative
I mean. Kinda is
"The National Mall" is anywhere between 2000 ft and 2 miles from the White House
"Must...have...ballroom..."
~trump and his sycophants probably
Perhaps there should be a Wikipedia page which collects information about those incidents similar to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Adolf_Hitler
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_incidents_involving_Donald_Trump
Damn, there's a lot of them.
Something about that one Wikipedia joke about the list not being complete and needing to be added to.
Project Valkyrie but it's a Big Mac with a hand grenade in it
stop hunting the orange shitgibbon, the cabinet are far more accessible
Heritage foundation members and media owners are much easier targets. Get rid of the other bankrolling and promoting their lies
this had to be the 4th "assasination", by trump. it isnt working, it actually make people focuse on your current issues more than not.
Isn't this the same administration that mandated it to be legal to open carry in DC? Despite the municipal law saying otherwise?

DOOOOON'T YOOOOOOUUUUUUU BELIEEEEEEEVE IIIIIIT!
The word near is doing some heavy lifting here. I don't consider something over a mile away to be near me.
They should shoot and kill the pedopredator hiding behind them
