The 21-year-old man shot and killed by Secret Service agents after allegedly attempting to break into President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in the early hours of Sunday came from a family of “avid Trump supporters,” according to a relative.
The FBI confirmed the suspect was Austin Tucker Martin, who entered the premises at the resort’s north gate armed with a shotgun and a gas canister around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.
Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were not at the Florida residence at the time.
And nothing of value was lost.
Apparently there was a history of mental illness in the suspect’s family:
We are big Trump supporters, all of us
I knew this guy was going to be a crazed maga dude just because they called him a crazy gunman and not some kind of leftist antifa assassin.
I just assume their right wing because they turn to violence. Not saying leftist groups can’t be violent but the scales are about as unbalanced as the amount of Republicans convicted of child molestation. Shit is not EVEN REMOTELY even
Oh we are violent.
But usually just to Nazis.
Every American armed agency: “shoot first, ask questions later.” It turns out that every American soldier, policeman, agent is a bloodthirsty killer, for money. Not a nice people.
I take it the other way…they have a job but they are scared shitless when something even mildly threatening happens, and react accordingly. It’s more about cowardice and fear than machismo.
Why go through life being a coward afraid of anything that moves, when you can go through life being a coward while getting paid with a loaded weapon at all times to be afraid of anything that moves.
I mean my favorite JFK theory is that that JFK got shot when the secret service car slammed on the brakes after Oswald opened fire on the governor of texas.
The funniest possible way for trump to die is his own secret service blasting him while trying to take down a perp.
Why is there a news about his family being trump supporters but not about what happened?
Idiot showed up to Maralago with gun and a can of gas, got killed.
It’s the job of the cops to make an X post explaining what happened.
The news media’s job is to embed that X post in an article, then repeat what the X post says verbatim in the text followed by search engine fodder words and then spam their site with irrelevant sane-washing filler propaganda articles. This is an example of the latter.
Then load site with a crippling amount of ads that you can’t even read the fucking article.
Why would we want people to read? Sensational headlines are far more compelling. The body of an article? That’s just to legitimize our opinions. How else do we set ourselves apart from the hundreds of thousands of other opinion makers on mainstream social media?
I’m helping by only reading the title and then proceeding to speculate about the suspect’s ideology and ethnicity in the comments!
‘We are big Trump supporters, all of us’
Evidence would suggest otherwise.
Wo-ho! Just as i predicted when I first read the news. A Trump fanboy. Armed, dangerous, and too stupid to check if his target is actually in.
No one has ever accused MAGA of having any sort of critical thought or intelligence.
And the only photo showing the supposed weapons is a shitty faxed (note the scan lines) picture printed out and laying on the asphalt?
Color me sus. If it was real, Kash would have already been tweeting classified information.
Also note that they claim he was shot after aiming the shotgun at police yet there doesn’t appear to be any blood on the weapon.
I smell another staged assassination attempt.
A really bad one? From a guy with a family of trump supporters? That went to a house no one was staying at? Who traveled from North Carolina? Seems like a pointless staging. No one’s going to get all up in arms about this.
Occam’s Razor says he went off the deep end about the Epstein crimes and wanted justice.
I tend to agree. Supposedly MAGA cared about stopping pedophiles, it was one of their main campaigning points. We may see a lot of violence now that names are available for everyone to see.
I’d agree.
He’s too busy partying at the Olympics.
He’ll be on the scene as soon as he can get the right jacket.
I had similar thoughts about the Butler shooter, at the time. If they were associated with the Democrats, his administration would have made an example of them by now.
Constantly trying to make sense of MAGA rhetoric would drive me insane too.
The trick is not to think about, anything ever
Yeah… I stopped trying to make sense of it and just take the most ridiculous parts (which is most of it) in jest most of the time.
Yeah, I stopped taking it in jest the first time fuckhead won. I immediately knew that this, widespread political violence, was the only way the Trump era could possibly go out. When people asked how I felt or what I was thinking post-election, I’d somberly say, “This isn’t going to end peacefully.”
All signs pointed here. It was clear this narcissist cult-leader was leading a movement of violent, hate-filled, devoted followers who were itching to take out their impotent rage on anyone dear leader pointed to. Then it was clear a huge swath of the country saw all of this and thought it worth putting into power. The time to laugh was over the minute that election was called.
They are not jests, though. They really are killing people
How many more trump voters are gonna have to try and kill trump before people realize he’s quickly losing support?
MAGA is eating itself, and has been for a while now
Hopefully one of them succeeds before too long
They only have to get lucky once, and they basically breed stupid armed criminals.
The problem is that, like you said, they’re stupid.
A Vance presidency would be worse than a Trump presidency, IMO. Trump is doing a fantastic job fucking everything up, exposing US imperialism, pushing the entire country towards the left, and revealing fascists for who they are. At this point, his death would be a negative for us.
Vance is less charismatic than Trump and MAGA (or perhaps Republicans who were leaning that way) has people waking up and pushing back. Approval is going down and courts are even doing some things against his power now.
Despite Vance being smarter, if they can’t pull this off under their own charismatic leader with a major base backing them then I doubt Vance could do much. I think he’d get even more push back from courts and I doubt the military would side with the couch fucker if he tried to actually push martial law or turn the military against the people.
In short, Vance’s agenda would be the same as Trump’s and if it’s not popular now, do we really think it would be successful with a less charismatic person in charge?
Vance has consistently demonstrated that he’s way better at not saying the quiet part out loud. He’s far better at justifying fascist behavior and sugar coating it in a way that centrists/independents find more palatable. Like the whole made up fentanyl bullshit about venezuela, then Trump came out and talked about how it’s all for oil.
Supports my theory that this was a version of suicide by cop. He just couldn’t live with his family any more and needed a way out.
I saw something about him not having any bullets. That’s a pretty good indicator for suicide by cop.
When I think of how twisted and fucked up the world around you has to be to coexist with a Trump supporter? That makes total sense.
He could at least have done one of those big family sayonara’s & then called it an adios. No one would be the least bit surprised or upset.
Republicans: “We’re not just evil! We’re incompetent too!”
Their one saving grace
Surprise surprise. A MAGAt moron.
One so stupid he went there despite the Pedo-in-Chief not even being there…
maybe show some respect to this man who got out of his house and tried something. We don’t know how he voted. We don’t know what this man believed, besides that he was rightfully disgusted by the Epstein Files. Lots of people disagree with their parents; like, y’know, the killers behind the last two big assassinations.
Agreed. They’re heroes and shouldn’t be dismissed as just crazed nutjobs. But they’re innocent actually. We won’t know the political motivations until the responsible mossad agents are caught.
We’re all tired of pretending it’s fine for the rich to rape and torture children on our dime. Anyone driven to act is not some villain or violent animal, but someone with a sense of justice, a firearm, and a self destructive lack of inhibition.
MAGA was built on the idea of a cabal of pedos running the world. The outcome seems normal.
It’s becoming a trend
