How does this fuckers get arrested without incident? You'd think someone attempting to assassinate a former president would be fully committed and make every effort to go out in a hail of bullets if they failed. I'm sure this guy will be in prison for a long time but the fact that a would-be assassin wasn't brought to an ICU or morgue after capture seems like an invitation for more of this.

Hey now, there's nothing illegal about camping outside of someone's house with hundreds of rounds of ammunition and multiple firearms waiting for an opportunity to strike. I thought this was America!

He got his ass kicked in the jail where he was being held. So now the wanna be assassin is in isolation. Yum - nutraloaf.

Because they think the police are on their side right up until the cuffs go on

And if it weren't for the Secret Service people, I imagine given how many cops are Nazis or KKK members they probably would be

I didn’t say their belief was unfounded

Taranto was previously listed as the webmaster for the Franklin County (in Washington State) Republican Party, and was being sued by the widow of a D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer who died by suicide after an alleged attack involving Taranto and another man inside the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump committed attempted murder by revealing Obama's address to his drooling, violent followers. Taranto should go to prison for his attempted murder, but so should Trump.
