A masked man armed with an AK-47 and a full magazine of ammunition was reportedly arrested blocks away from the Republican National Convention on Monday night. Homeland Security investigators and Capitol police saw the man approaching near the RNC permitter, blocks from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, a federal law enforcement source told Fox News. The man was wearing a ski mask and hauling a tactical bag containing the weapon and a full magazine, the outlet reported.Milwaukee Police confirmed the report to The Associated Press and said the 21-year-old man was arrested and charges are pending against him.U.S. Capitol Police spotted the man around 1 p.m. Monday “looking suspicious, wearing a ski mask and a large tactical backpack in the street,” police said in a statement. Capitol police stopped him and determined he had a concealed gun without a concealed-carry permit, police told AP.The arrest comes after the attempted assassination on former President Trump on Saturday, which led to increased security at the RNC. Authorities said Thomas Crooks tried to shoot Trump with an AR-15. He killed one rallygoer in Butler, Pennsylvania, before a counter-sniper fatally shot him.On Tuesday, police fatally shot a man blocks away from the convention perimeter, near 14th and Vliets streets in Milwaukee. Witnesses said two men were fighting in King Park and one pulled a knife.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/masked-man-with-ak-47-and-full-magazine-arrested-outside-rnc-reports/ar-BB1q766L
>>1316525>Capitol police stopped him and determined he had a concealed gun without a concealed-carry permitI like the fact that if he did have a permit, they'd let him go on his way to carry out the attack.Thanks Republicans.
>>1316531Do you ever get tired of being this retarded?
This is a direct consequence of calling voters and Trump a threat to Democracy for the past 4 years. It's very obvious stochastic terrorism, and now the very predictable consequences are unfolding right in front of us. And unfortunately they won't stop this rhetoric until he gets killed. At what point are we forced to conclude that's probably what many want and have wanted all along?
>>1316533Are you tired of getting shot because of Republican policies?
Reminder that shills like >>1316544 are gleeful that Trump was shot at because now they can pretend that calling out his authoritarian policies is somehow wrong.https://www.rawstory.com/trump-shooting/
>>1316525>On Tuesday, police fatally shot a man blocks away from the convention perimeter, near 14th and Vliets streets in Milwaukee. Witnesses said two men were fighting in King Park and one pulled a knife.Only in America
>>1316544No it’s a direct consequence of trump being a pedophile and the qanon/pedo conspiracy theorists trying to right that wrong.
>>1316550Of course you should be calling out and criticizing the policies. Go through his stated platform and point out policies you think are "authoritarian". It's all fair game. The clear insinuation to the "threat to democracy" rhetoric has always been that he's going to abolish Democratic elections, and that's obviously stochastic terrorism.
>>1316525that's not very pro 2A of them
>>1316549why do most shootings take place in blue cities? seems like dem policies cause shootings>>1316550literally what policies does trump have that are authoritarian? Trump is anti authoritarian, biden and the dems are super authoritarian
>>1316557>>1316559https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2024/07/12/project-2025-trump-election-democracyThis is where you attack the source.
>>1316549No one is getting shot because of republican policies.
>>1316562Trump got shot because of Republican policies.
>>1316561there is not a single thing in project 2025 that is remotely authoritarian >>1316564nah, he got shot by a jew who worked for blackrock
>>1316564Fair point. If we locked up mentally ill leftists, he wouldn't have been shot.
Friendly reminder that the Trump supporters wanted to hang VP Mike Pence in January of 2021.
>>1316565>there is not a single thing in project 2025 that is remotely authoritarian Proof?
>>1316571now you are just being a sea lioning jew. point to which policy you think is authoritarian. you are the tranny who made the claim it was authoritarian in the first place
>>1316567A republican shot Trump>>1316567>locking up mentally ill peopleReagan proved we should set them all free
>>1316578No one is buying this narrative. It's making you look like complete retards.
Another left wing terrorist stopped

>>1316569bipartisan stance of unity
>>1316591It's always opposite day in the mentally deranged right wing world.
>>1316579>reality is a narrative???
>>1316576So no proof, also people are going to call you a nazi if you start accusing everyone you don't like of being a Jew.

why are democrats so violent and terroristic? whats wrong with them?
>>1316659Guns and gun culture are deeply ingrained in the party, oh wait
>>1316660liberals and leftists have desperately been trying to show off their interests in guns as a threat for a while now
>>1316661your headcanon never ceases to amuse meinb4 your cherrypicked twitter examples
>>1316664nah, >>1316661 is right. Groups of leftist have been trying to pull the "we were the original pro-gun party" shtick for a while. I remember the gun subreddit boards turning to complete shit around 2017-2018 when the liberals started invading them. there's even a communist gun club:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Rifle_Association
>>1316654this is literally some random faggot's senior thesis >>1316656>>1316658neither of these mention policies at all. they are just bitching about mean tweets. you literally just googled "donald trump authoritarian" and picked the first 3 links without reading any of it. provide examples of authoritarian policies trump put into place while president or said he will enact. because literally all you said was>mean tweets
>>1316660what do guns have to do with violence or terrorism, tranny?>>1316666SRA is literally an anti gun organization larping as a pro gun one. every member I've seen wants gun bans
>>1316661>>1316659Interesting projection, but it was a Republican who shoot at Trump and it's Conservatives who are calling for violence.
>>1316562trump just did lmao
>>1316675it was confirmed a democrat* and leftists are the ones saying killing presidents is good actually
>>1316687Yep, a Democrat (R) lmao.

Being cast as an extra by an ad agency in a commercial for some company doesn't mean you are an employee of that company. Why do lies come so naturally and shamelessly to right-wingers?
>>1316742duh. he's a disnfo campaign shill
Republican events sure cause a lot of violent crime.

He resides with his parents, Matthew and Mary, who are reportedly in their 50s and identify as Jewish.
>>1316808Then he registered Republican and was confirmed by his classmates to be a conservicunt. Thats the part that makes him Republican. There are Republicans that are Jewish. There are Republicans that have donated to Progressive causes. Your feelings literally don't mean anything. Your opinion literally doesn't mean anything. Keep crying about it, but you're wrong.

>>1316848>all his actions say otherwiseA Republican trying to purge Trump proves it wasn't a Republican trying to purge Trump? Violent political parties kill their leaders and members to steer the direction of their party all the time.

>>1317026>>1317008My bad. It wasn't discord, it was Steam"July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,"
>>1317005Calling out obvious lies isn't sealioning. Maybe you should stop being a lying faggot.

>>1317130see>>1316754 and >>1316808you are a lying, sealioning tranny and a paid shill
MAGA crowd constantly trying to downplay the fact that he was a registered republican with republican parents.
>>1317146The post /pol/ppets will ignore
>>1316559>why do most shootings take place in blue cities? seems like dem policies cause shootingsbecause thats where people are. no one lives in bumsville idaho
>>1317161people don't live in cities, subhumans do. and time and time again cities make up more murders as a % of murders for the state than they do as a % of pop for the state. hell, we also saw the murder rate spike under brandon. the 2021 gun murder rate was the highest since the 80s peak. democrats cause murder.
>>1317162sorry cities scare you, you don't live there so it doesn't seem like something you have to worry about ok
>>1317164I'm not afraid of cities. I just think they are disgusting, smell bad and shouldn't be allowed to vote
>>1317168cities don't vote. people in cities do. and yeah, you seem afraid
>>1317180Proof?
>>1317180people don't live in cities. there isn't a single city that has a single human living in it. and no, I'm not afraid. you are projecting lil bro. that is why you are so afraid of guns
>>1317182>>1317188you don't have to samefag
>>1317028Speaking of, Fox News published an article trying to blame Steam because they offer for sale a game where you play as a bodyguard protecting Trump from an assassination attempt.https://www.foxnews.com/us/trump-shooter-used-gaming-site-features-presidential-assassination-game>shooter posts on Steam forums>"SEE? VIDYA RADICALIZED HIM! LOOK AT THIS OBSCURE SHOVELWARE ABOUT ASSASSINATING TRUMP, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE HE WAS EVER AWARE OF ITS EXISTENCE, AND YOU PLAY AS SOMEONE TRYING TO SAVE TRUMP INSTEAD OF KILLING HIM! LET'S CONTINUE TO CLUTCH PEARLS AND TRY TO CENSOR MEDIA WE DON'T LIKE!"
>>1317194I didn't, lil bro
>>1316669Trump is the tariff man, he want nothing more than to impose tariffs on import/export and is thus anti-capitalist and authoritarian in nature. I understand, commies and socialists are the death of us all but trump is not the catch all people seem to think he is.
>>1317405No income tax is just, but tariffs are massively gay and not capitalist.
>>1317407Fuck off, China.
>>1317456Chinks are mad collectivistic, which is also massively gay.
>>1316592You mean symbolism.
>>1316525I bet they wouldn't even look at him if he wore a covid mask and a durag then put the ski mask on before his nefarious activities
