Anyone want to guess his party affiliation? How many Democrat assassins is that now?

Man with knife busted outside White House for threatening to ‘assassinate’ Trump

By Lee Brown, NY Post, February 9, 2020:

A Florida man armed with a knife was arrested outside the White House after threatening to “assassinate” President Trump, according to police.

Roger Hedgpeth, 25, was busted Saturday afternoon after making the alarming threats to a Secret Service agent patrolling about a block away from the executive mansion, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department said.

“I am here to assassinate President Donald Trump,” Hedgpeth warned, according to the police report — also threatening, “I have a knife to do it with.”

Hedgpeth was found with a 3 1/2-inch knife in a sheath on his left hip, and an empty pistol holster on his right one, authorities said.

Trump had no scheduled events and was believed to have been inside the White House at the time.

Hedgpeth, from Brandon, Florida, was arrested on a charge of making threats to do bodily harm and possession of a prohibited weapon, The Washington Post said. He was described in the police report as a “critically missing/endangered person as well as a mental health consumer,” the paper said, and taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation.

A telephone number listed for Hedgpeth in public records rang unanswered on Sunday. It wasn’t immediately clear where he lives or whether he had a lawyer.

Security has been ramped up following a series of security breaches there — most alarmingly when knife-carrying Army veteran Omar Gonzalez jumped the fence and made it into the mansion’s East Room in 2014.

Roger Hedgpeth, 25 …. “critically missing/endangered person as well as a mental health consumer…”

What is a “mental health consumer”?
Words matter. Roger is insane, and is fortunate that LEOS arrest instead of lethal alternatives.
INSANE … without sanity.

I wonder if he’s assigned to the same unit as the Dem. party Gestapo agent that ran over a GOP recruiting tent at a Wal-Mart in Florida.

Did the democRATS hire him? Since they could not remove President Trump from office with a fake impeachment, it would not surprise me if the democRATS would try to get rid of the President through a criminal act.

Nah … The Democrat Party would use a Democrat Party operative, such as the FBI Director.

When they get this president, it will be a case of “suicide”. Perhaps, the type wherein he shoots himself in the back of his head two times.

If Hillary was younger, I believe that she’d wait two years. That is the limitation place on being considered a “term”. She’d wait two years, plus one day, in order to run for another two terms. However, I believe you to be correct. At her age, that’s one reason for “next day” and her electability (zero chance) would be reason two. The day of inauguration, the president would commit arkancide.

@NV; I agree with your comment about a criminal act? However, this entire “impeachment production” has been a criminal act even before it was introduced to the light of day in the current CON-gress by these CONs who call themselves “representatives”.

A e/GOP consultant made the first public Trump death threat. He was never arrested. So all the nut cases out there see that as a positive “Go for it” sign.

GOP Establishment’s Rick Wilson: Donor Class Must ‘Put a Bullet in Donald Trump’
By TONY LEE 28 Oct 2015

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2015/10/28/gop-establishments-rick-wilson-donor-class-must-put-a-bullet-in-donald-trump/

On Tuesday evening, establishment Republican consultant Rick Wilson said the GOP establishment donor class must find a way to “put a bullet” in GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Wilson conceded that “Trump is still a very powerful force right now” because he appeals to part of the of the conservative base that Wilson said was activated by his “nativist” message. Wilson insisted that the donor class “can’t just sit back on the sidelines and say, ‘oh well, don’t worry, this will all work itself out.’”

“They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump,” Wilson said. “And that’s a fact.”

>>>>>>>>>>> Rick Wilson remains at large.

Conceal carry. It’s better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. It won’t be pretty when our President is re-elected for 4 more years.

Wow! Someone who really has a “mental disorder”! But why did he target Trump? In most public hospitals of any kind the staff are Leftist and what is watched by patients(not in private rooms) is controlled by them, and this poor idiot has probably had months of MSM lies shoved down his throat while incarcerated there.

With Secret Service on duty, thankfully, never bring a knife to a gunfight.

DJT is so far ahead of his MarxiCrat opponents that assassination is their only option. As I write this, Hillary is plotting DJT’s “suicide” or “fatal coronary.”

The voters in the US need to deliver the House and Senate in a massive majority to the Republicans and disseminate the Demoncrats in the next elections. Then they need to pass laws that will squash the ANTIFA as international terrorist organization. The law enforcement agencies can then root out these evil Nazis/Bolsheviks and lock them up for a long long time.
