Man with weapons and Jan. 6 warrant arrested after running toward Obamas' D.C. home

Did he have a Nazi flag on him? And whatever happened to that truck driver anyway?

He's currently in jail awaiting trial with a preliminary hearing set for July 19th.

does this one guy represent the entirety of the right? I'm just trying to understand the reason for the OP. A nutter did something nutty. Thats what nutters do. They are very predictable that way. No matter who they vote for.

You're trying to understand the reason for an OP detailing an attempted assassination attempt on a former President?

I’m finding it hard to get all worked up over this.

The left has worked so hard over the last decade to divide the country and I find it amusing when anyone is shocked at how effective they have been.

The questions that remain are: 1.) Did he have a history of mental illness or was he of sane mind? 2.) Was this an attempt at suicide by cop, so he could go out in an ideological blaze of glory instead of going to prison for his J6 antics? 3.) Or did he actually think he would succeed?

Let the whataboutisms begin!

What if he is a lunatic radical leftist transkitty who wanted to make it look like some Trump supporter was going after the real current President?

well he was from lefty country.

Shame he didn't succeed

The Left has? What have the Right and right-wing news sources been doing? What has Trump been doing since before he even ran for president? Trump is now saying Democrats can't be Christians, and a whole lot of Republican politicians are claiming Democrats are Marxists and communists. Yeah, a lot of people on the Left are calling alt-righters fascists, but when a group is marching with torches and chanting, or dressed up like brownshirts when they are demonstrating against some LGTBQ event, and book bans by the right are going apace, it does look a bit fascistic.

As to the incident in question, Trump doxed Obama by putting out his address on Lie Central. The suspect was found to have two hand guns and 400 rounds of ammunition in his van. And apparently he has even been creeping out other pro Jan 6 defendant demonstrators.

Multiple Jan. 6 demonstrators outside of the D.C. jail said they had kicked Taranto out of their group on Saturday after he attempted to play a video that showed the death of Ashli Babbitt in front of her mother.

Tommy Tatum, who was at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and also attends nightly demonstrations outside of the D.C. jail, said that “there was something really, really off about that guy.” Tatum was one of the people who reposted a portion of Taranto’s live stream on YouTube.

Man arrested with guns near Obama’s house had been acting erratically

Remember the kook who broke into the Pelosi residence and bludgeoned her husband?

No one is saying that all right-wingers are this violent or crazy, but given the rhetoric on the right, and the doxing done by the twice-impeached and 71-felony indictments and counting ex-president, is anyone really surprised that this kind of thing happens?

I also remember all the hubbub by the right-wing media and its followers when after the Dobbs decision people were peacefully protesting outside of the homes of some of the conservative SCOTUS members. Yet the attitude of the right-wingers here is like "nothing to see here". I can imagine your outrage if some nutty anti-Trump person tried to assassinate him. You'd blame on the Democrats and the Left in general. But you won't even criticize your cult leader for doxing his predecessor, thereby encouraging this sort of thing.
