Federal prosecutors just dropped new information about the WHCD shooter including a selfie he took in the hotel mirror before he tried to storm the ballroom.
Also, he literally was caught because he tripped. Yes, really.
JUST IN: Federal prosecutors release new images and details of Cole Allen and his alleged attempt to assassinate president Trump. Here is a mirror selfie he took about 30 minutes before charging past the magnetometers. https://t.co/SjBVCPQJQO pic.twitter.com/tBPnPDOQPS

Maybe he dressed in all black so he would blend in as an AV worker on site. They often dress in all black.
NOTABLE: Prosecutors' memo drops any reference to a USSS officer being hit by a bullet. It now says an officer observed Allen fire in the direction of the staircase toward the WHCD. That officer then fired at Allen five times but did not hit him. https://t.co/SjBVCPQJQO pic.twitter.com/HeqOQ4V61a

It's a bit concerning the Secret Service fired multiple shots and could not hit this man. Maybe they need some more range time.
Notes Allen kept on his phone while he crossed the country by train, per prosecutors. https://t.co/SjBVCPQJQO pic.twitter.com/xdiT4UsbDs

Basically, this guy is a massive dork.
LOL at the glamour selfie with completely unnecessary gear. (Wire cutters??) A generation of semi-autistic narcissists. https://t.co/Mm2WmPsFX7

That's the sad part. This is clearly a guy with a screw loose and he listened to the Democrat rhetoric so much, he snapped.
Ok, but who the hell was he taking a selfie for?!

He hid his plan from everyone he knew and thought he was about to die, so it wasn’t like he was going to post it to Insta afterwards.
This is terminal levels of brain rot behavior from your child’s teacher. Think on that. https://t.co/a0gZnchgru
He thought this would be the picture dumb Democrats used on their tribute t-shirts to him after he killed the President, probably.
Imagine just serving up all the evidence necessary for you to do life in prison after getting tackled and thoroughly embarrassing yourself as the most inept would-be assassin ever. https://t.co/7ngSrqz7Jk pic.twitter.com/oi0lXPUnBF

Thankfully he was this inept. Since Secret Service can't seem to hit the side of a barn, it could have been much worse.
They are calling him the most reddit tier political assassin of all time. 10-1 he has a fedora somewhere in that room. https://t.co/gThRZPO1Wp pic.twitter.com/FbZLAsKZkp

I am glad he was captured alive so he has to endure the embarrassment with us. https://t.co/HQpo8cbl5f

Calling it now, we’re looking at the dorkiest would-be assassin in history. The manifesto, black dress shirt, a bunch of weird mall ninja knives for some reason, making that face in a selfie … it’s all so humiliating https://t.co/oKNBNpan6G

It's a blessing Leftists are so inept.
