A heavily-armed man (shotgun & handgun) with fake press credentials attempted to enter a Trump rally. In his vehicle, they found fake passports and driver's licenses. Whether he intended to assassinate Trump is not clear; the Riverside County Sheriff is certain that an assassination attempt was foiled while federal agencies currently disagree. Was he just a guy who forgot to leave his guns at home when going to a presidential rally? Gee, that seems unlikely. What's with all the passports and the phony press pass and VIP pass? Based on what I've heard so far, I'd lean toward the sheriff's view.
What is causing all these crackpot assassins? Usually, assassins are young men, but this one is in his late 40s and the last one was in his 50s. The crackpot who shot at a bunch of Republicans on a baseball field several years ago was also an older man. This is unusual. There is something about our modern society that breeds crazies. There were no school shootings when I was a kid. It started in the late 90s and continues today. What changed?
