This might explain a lot….
Secret Service agent who took bullet in Trump assassination attempt may have been hit by ‘friendly fire’
Oof.
A Secret Service agent hit during the apparent attempt on President Trump’s life may have been shot by one of his colleagues.
Cole Allen’s initial court appearance heard the agent fired five shots as the gunman tried to storm the White House correspondents’ dinner on Saturday.
His shots missed, but the agent himself took a bullet to his Kevlar vest.
“This heroic officer who was hit fired five times at Allen, who was not shot but fell to the ground and was promptly arrested,” said acting attorney general Todd Blanche.
Mr Blanche would not disclose details of who was responsible for hitting the agent – who survived – but said the attacker had fired at least once.
“The defendant fired out of his shotgun – we know that happened. But as far as getting into exacting ballistics, I’m not going to do that today,” he told reporters.
If you watch the super grainy clip of Allen running by the “security” checkpoint you can see an agent tracking him with his pistol like he is shooting a crossing pheasant with a shotgun and it looks like the agent that caught a round reacted about the same time as the pistol was pointed his way. It looked like a bunch of them were shooting and no one landed a rounded except the one that hit an agent.
An already ignominious incident for the Secret Service might be worse than we initially thought.
In an amusing side-note, the “would be assassin” Cole Allen was packing not one, not two, not three but four knives.
I quipped elsewhere that this guy has watched too many 1980s actions flick. Homie was geared up like Ah-nuld in Commando.
What was he going to do with four knives? Did he think Trump was going to grab a steak knife, leap over the table and that he was going to go mano-a-mano with knives against the Bad Orange Man like West Side Story?
I wouldn’t like my odds against cops wearing body armor and packing tacticool ARs versus a crappy Maverick pump shotgun, but I would like my odds far less facing those guys with a knock-off Ka-Bar.
This whole thing is going to be swept under the rug like a 2G mass shooting.
Haha, the secret cervix beclowns itself again. At this point, it seems rather obvious there must not be any real threats, because as inept as these asshole wankers are, if there were real assassins about, we’d already have a pile of dead poltiical whores. Maybe the SS is arranging these attempts to make themselves look better than they are, the same way the FBI like to set up a stupid patsy, to boost their number of “terrorist” apprehensions.
Hey Arthurs, could we get a post on whether this is significant, and if so, how?

The perp’s pistol looks like a Tisas 1911, in .45
I don’t believe any federal agencies issue .45 cal pistols any more, so unless the SS agent was hit with a .45 cal round it was almost certainly friendly fire…
PSA has them in .45 and 9mm, that complicates things. I read somewhere about .380 Super, but walnut parkerized models are currently listed in the more common calibers.
Either way you have either a .45 or .358 bullet to eliminate SS shooter or not. If it was a .45 I would think you would be picking up limbs detached from the torso like a real round would do.
RIA 38 Super. They do base model runs of that caliber periodically. A .38 Super bullet is .001″ bigger in diameter than a 9mm.
No, a 45 will not detach limbs. A 12 gauge will. Like Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch says…….”Handguns make holes in you. Rifles make holes through you. Shotguns used properly remove chunks of your body.”
RIA 38 Super.
None of the audio I have heard has any boom of a shotgun. Pretty easy to determine shotgun shot from pistol rounds.
The elephant in the room, based on that blurry video, is the perp runs down the hallway into a lobby area. The “agents” appear to be standing around with their heads in their dark spots. Big question for simple tacticians: WHY WAS NOT THE HALLWAY BLOCKED, ROPED OFF AND MONITORED? Remember what I wrote a few posts ago. Feds are not street cops and do not think like street cops. And sadly, depending on their GS-rating, they make way more money than the average LEO. I know that for a fact. Bleib ubrig.
I doubt that any of them used to be .mil either. If if they were, they were never in any of the combat arms. Otherwise, they might have known some basic principles such as establishing and maintaining ja secure perimeter.
Unless Brother it was supposed to be that way and the dumb kike nigger was supposed to get to him but since he was a nigger he messed it up…
Yeah. So we are left with the question: setup, or ineptitude? Or maybe both. This wasn’t like Butler PA in that it was indoors, at a facility that could be easily secured with controlled access at the limited number of ingress and egress points. It’s inexcusable that the lobby and any other areas with direct access to the ballroom (kitchen/staff areas included) weren’t locked down airtight. It should’ve been tougher for a non-vetted and unauthorized individual to get in there than it’d be to shove butter up a wildcat’s ass with a knitting needle.
Thing of it is Brother would it matter if we knew the truth when we don’t have any power to change anything anyways…
Maybe not in that specific sense, but I’d still like the personal satisfaction of knowing the truth, for it’s own sake. Further, if it were revealed that these scenarios were being intentionally planned, rather than just being the result of ineptitude rooted in entropy, it would at least inform me we are that much closer to the end point of this shit political system.
“shove butter up a wildcat’s ass with a knitting needle”
Wait. What?
The needle is also red-hot.
He forgot that part.
Just a stylistic flourish, equivalent to saying “harder than hell”. I’ve made a habit of collecting and using such expressions for my own amusement. If anyone else gets a chuckle, that’s a bonus.
A great expression, I’ll put this in my memory slot and hope to recall this quip when needed.
If you are a collector, here are three prospects for the appropriate occasions.
First, from my dad, who grew up in Arkansas: “Don’t sit there like a toad in a hailstorm”. Also, “ Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while”.
And from my mom, who was Pennsylvania Deitsch (correct spelling for their low German dialect), “He looks as happy as a beshit pall bearer”.
Ooh, I really like the one about the beshit pall bearer. Very unique, I should really try to get the word “beshit” back into the modern vernacular.
Yes, Brother. That is a very cogent thought. We all know Butler, PA was a set-up involving the SS, who had their A-Team protecting “Doctor Jill” not too far away at the same time. And no, as you said in your other post, we do not have the power to change things anyways. However, our power may manifest itself when we least expect it. Stay prepped. Stay safe. Daily prayers for you and your family.
WTF! Do these idiots not practice on moving targets. And lollygagging around when you are literally THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE is unforgivable. I know low paid security guards that are more situationally aware than that idiot leaning on the barrier. I’m surprised he wasn’t playing Candy Crush on his phone. Hope they bust him down to guarding the restrooms next time. Had these been proper SS agents they would have lit up the Mystery Meat Assassin before he got thru the metal detector.
Friendly fire would not surprise me in the least. Trump should have already hired professionals.
Not surprised, AS. In a previous comment I opined that the SS agents were arranged in a ‘circular firing squad’–violating Gun Rule #4: “Always know what is beyond your target.”
The “Keystone Kops” comes to mind. Or maybe “F Troop.”
And we pay the salaries of these poorly-trained “G-Men.”
SMH.
And ““This heroic officer who was hit fired five times at Allen,…””
What’s with the term “heroic,” anyway? This is the agent’s chosen line of work; it is his career to be in the business of protection of the asset.
“Heroic” means “above and beyond the call of duty.” What exactly did the agent do to merit the term “heroic?”
Yeah, I get so tired of the lionizing of cops of any sort who get their image and reputation all puffed up by this sort of BS. It’s a job they chose to do, and the only context in which they may be legitimately heroic is if they sacrifice themselves to save someone else. Even then, if they are SS and save the President (or whoever they are charged with protecting) then that’s the job they signed up for and are drawing a paycheck to do.
It’s just another flavor of cop worship, which seems to have been a long running hangup for American society. Nearly endless TV shows, movies, the routine attempts at (mostly) covering their asses when they screw up badly, etc., are all part and parcel of it. Doctors have gotten similar treatment, up until COVID (and the general state of American healthcare) started to knock them off the pedestal a bit. Even now, their elevated status persists, often without any underlying justification.
“Did he think Trump was going to grab a steak knife…”
Well everybody knows Trump grabbed the steering wheel of the limo while sitting in the back seat.
Everybody also knows Trump grabs em by the pussy.
So yeah maybe he was going to grab a steak knife.
It’s already in the rear view mirror.
