White House Correspondents’ Dinner Gunman's Manifesto Released And It Sounds Like He's A Maniac Who Spent Too Much Time On BlueSky And Reddit

A deranged 31-year-old California tutor who stormed the White House Correspondents' Dinner with guns and knives last night left behind a jaw-dropping anti-Trump manifesto in which he called himself the 'Friendly Federal Assassin' and vowed to take out top administration officials – branding the President a 'pedophile, rapist and traitor'.

Cole Tomas Allen, from Torrance, California – described by neighbours as a quiet, highly-educated Caltech graduate and part-time teacher who lived with his parents, was arrested after opening fire near a security checkpoint at the glitzy black-tie event at the Washington Hilton. President Trump, First Lady Melania, and thousands of guests were inside the ballroom when chaos erupted.

Thankfully, the President was unharmed and quickly evacuated as Secret Service agents swarmed the scene. One officer was struck by gunfire but was protected by a bulletproof vest. Allen never made it into the main event area.

But the most shocking revelations came today with the release of excerpts from his rambling 1,000-plus-word manifesto, obtained by the New York Post, which he sent to family members just minutes before the attack.

In the document, signed 'Cole “coldForce” “Friendly Federal Assassin” Allen', the gunman made his twisted motives crystal clear.'I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapst, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,' he wrote, in an apparent reference to President Trump.

He listed Trump administration officials as 'targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest'. while sparing Kash Patel and saying Secret Service agents should only be 'incapacitated non-lethally if possible'. Hotel security was to be avoided 'unless they shoot at me'.

In a bizarre defence of his actions, Allen, who claimed to be Christian, rejected 'turn the other cheek', writing: 'Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial. I’m not a schoolkid blown up, or a child starved, or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.'

The manifesto also revealed his utter contempt for the security surrounding the high-profile dinner, which was packed with journalists, celebrities, and political elites.'What the hell is the Secret Service doing?' he ranted, dropping any formal tone. 'I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo. What I got... is nothing. No damn security.'

He boasted about checking in a day early and strolling into the hotel armed with multiple weapons: 'I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors... because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.'

Allen even claimed the lax measures were so bad that 'if I was an Iranian agent, instead of an American citizen, I could have brought a damn Ma Deuce in here and no one would have noticed shit.'The horrifying breach has sparked immediate fury over Secret Service failures, with questions mounting about how a gunman was able to get so close to the President.

Allen, who authorities say acted alone, faces multiple charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and firearm offences, with more expected. He is not cooperating with investigators.
