Judge ‘disturbed’ over ‘legally deficient’ treatment of Trump gala shooting suspect

A US judge on Monday apologized to the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for the “legally deficient” treatment he has faced in a Washington DC, jail, including being placed on suicide watch, separated from other inmates and denied a Bible.
The US magistrate judge Zia Faruqui said he was disturbed by the conditions for Cole Allen, who allegedly fired a shotgun during a foiled attack on Trump and senior officials in his administration at a 25 April press gala. The judge said the conditions were inappropriate for a person with no criminal history.
“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize,” Faruqui said during a court hearing.
I’m honestly reasonably confident that this whole show is (yet another) setup/false-flag, and the dude is just a patsy.
Hence the suicide watch...practice ice makes perfect
Yesterday I went to the Fox news website to see their version of top news. It was this story, that a judge would apologize to someone who tried to shoot our "dear" leader.
So, I tried to post it earlier, but couldn't figure out how to get the video out from behind the paywall.
Basically, WaPo got high resolution versions of the security cam footage.
... I don't think this dude fired a single shot.
I think that the Secret Service guy who was shot, was shot by another security guard.
Basically:
O[]------------>
X
Where the arrow is the dude running through the metal detector, O is SS dude who was shot, X is other guard.
As the dude is running between the two, X fires off at least 3 shots, tracking running dude.
O appears to become injured very soon after X fires one of those shots, where that shot is fired while X is basically pointing at O.
But you never see a muzzle flash from the shotgun.
You do see them from X's pistol though.
Also, in the audio of the event, everything I've seen and heard... all the shots sound similar.
And these shots all would have occured in the same space, the same hallway.
A shotgun blast does not sound like a pistol shot, its... significantly louder, has a different kind of waveform.
What is even more insane is that apparently the assailant was never even hit.
... So the only actual injury in all of this was friendly fire.
Like yeah its still insane to sprint through that with a shotgun... but nobody even hit the dude?
Fucking clownshow security.
Also, it would be immensely simple to figure out what actually shot the SS dude O.
His bulletproof vest caught the shot, preventing him from being more seriously injured.
So... if it caught a bunch of buckshot... it was the shotgun.
If it caught a 9mm... it was friendly fire.
Yeah it was really obviously friendly fire, dunno if he shot after that recording or not though
Don't worry, I'm sure we will find out the truth with Kash 'Bugeyes' Patel on the job.
curious since you looked at it so much. what about rate of fire. I assume an automatic fires much faster than a shotgun.
denied a Bible
Lol ON NO NOT THAT.
They think they're doing something important by not giving him a Bible. Fucking laughable
Denying any one of a prisoner's rights is the first step to denying all of a prisoner's rights.
If not the right to his religious text, then why the right to be visited by a priest? If not a priest, then why his family? And if not family, then why a lawyer -- and if not a lawyer, then why even bother with a trial?
I mean sure, if you completely ignore the slippery slope fallacy.
Allowing a religious figure to meet with an inmate isn't even close to the same thing as a lawyer or family member.
I mean sure, if you completely ignore the slippery slope fallacy.
Did you forget what timeline we're living in? We're not slipping down a slope, we're tumbling off a cliff.
Yeah, in this reality they just start out with refusing access to a lawyer. No slope needed.
While a worthless rag to many of us, it is the one thing you could always expect to be granted to help break the monotony of incarceration. Being denied even that, leaving one with only their thoughts, in custody, is generally considered cruel and unusual punishment.
So you are on board with it ?
I just don't think it rises to the same level of seriousness as the other things they're doing
You’re absolutely right, and that’s why they did it. Fascists love to boil frogs in order to create permission structures.

I mean, we have US citizens being detained without due process. I think we're beyond that.
Being denied a bible likely means he is being denied other reading materials
