Cole Allen\u2019s manifesto in full:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hello everybody!<\/p>\n

So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused.<\/p>\n

I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it was for \u201cMost Wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n

I apologize to my colleagues and students for saying I had a personal emergency (by the time anyone reads this, I probably most certainly DO need to go to the ER, but can hardly call that not a self-inflicted status.)<\/p>\n

I apologize to all of the people I traveled next to, all the workers who handled my luggage, and all the other non-targeted people at the hotel who I put in danger simply by being near.<\/p>\n

I apologize to everyone who was abused and\/or murdered before this, to all those who suffered before I was able to attempt this, to all who may still suffer after, regardless of my success or failure.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t expect forgiveness, but if I could have seen any other way to get this close, I would have taken it. Again, my sincere apologies.<\/p>\n

On to why I did any of this:<\/p>\n

I am a citizen of the United States of America.<\/p>\n

What my representatives do reflects on me.<\/p>\n

And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.<\/p>\n

(Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I\u2019ve had to do something about it.)<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m discussing this, I\u2019ll also go over my expected rules of engagement (probably in a terrible format, but I\u2019m not military so too bad.)<\/p>\n

I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn\u2019t come to that.<\/p>\n

Rebuttals to objections:<\/p>\n

Objection 1: As a Christian, you should turn the other cheek.<\/p>\n

Rebuttal: Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I\u2019m not the person raped in a detention camp. I\u2019m not the fisherman executed without trial. I\u2019m not a schoolkid blown up or a child starved or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration.<\/p>\n

Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n

Follow the latest on the shooting at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner:<\/p>\n

The security loopholes that allowed Cole Allen to get near White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner \u2014 as Trump says this proves need for his ballroom<\/p>\n

Objection 2: This is not a convenient time for you to do this.<\/p>\n

Rebuttal: I need whoever thinks this way to take a couple minutes and realize that the world isn\u2019t about them. Do you think that when I see someone raped or murdered or abused, I should walk on by because it would be \u201cinconvenient\u201d for people who aren\u2019t the victim?<\/p>\n

This was the best timing and chance of success I could come up with.<\/p>\n

Objection 3: You didn\u2019t get them all.<\/p>\n

Rebuttal: Gotta start somewhere.<\/p>\n

Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn\u2019t be the one doing this.<\/p>\n

Rebuttal: I don\u2019t see anyone else picking up the slack<\/p>\n

Objection 5: Yield unto Caesar what is Caesar\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Rebuttal: The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.<\/p>\n

I would also like to extend my appreciation to a great many people since I will not be likely to be able to talk with them again (unless the Secret Service is *astoundingly* incompetent.)<\/p>\n

Thank you to my family, both personal and church, for your love over these 31 years.<\/p>\n

Thank you to my friends, for your companionship over many years.<\/p>\n

Thank you to my colleagues over many jobs, for your positivity and professionalism.<\/p>\n

Thank you to my students for your enthusiasm and love of learning.<\/p>\n

Thank you to the many acquaintances I\u2019ve met, in person and online, for short interactions and long-term relationships, for your perspectives and inspiration.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for everything.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Cole \u201ccoldForce\u201d \u201cFriendly Federal Assassin\u201d Allen<\/p>\n

PS: Ok now that all the sappy stuff is done, what the hell is the Secret Service doing? Sorry, gonna rant a bit here and drop the formal tone.<\/p>\n

Like, I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.<\/p>\n

What I got (who knows, maybe they\u2019re pranking me!) is nothing.<\/p>\n

No damn security. Not in transport. Not in the hotel. Not in the event.<\/p>\n

Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.<\/p>\n

I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.<\/p>\n

The security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before.<\/p>\n

Like, this level of incompetence is insane, and I very sincerely hope it\u2019s corrected by the time this country gets actually competent leadership again.<\/p>\n

Like, 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.<\/p>\n

Actually insane.<\/p>\n

Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it\u2019s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.<\/p>\n
