Cole Allen, a 31-year-old fmr. engineering student and tutor who traveled across the country with a shotgun, a pistol, and knives.
He reportedly booked a room at the SAME HOTEL weeks in advance, sent a disturbing message to his family, and then rushed a security checkpoint just feet from a ballroom packed with America's political elite.
The armed confrontation lasted SEVEN SECONDS.
He was arrested, charged with attempting to assassinate the president, and pleaded NOT GUILTY on May 11, following the April 25 attack.
The last major press coverage I could verify about him was on May 11, when outlets reported his court appearance and his lawyers' attempt to remove senior Justice Department officials from the case.
And here's something worth asking: HOW MANY PEOPLE EVEN REMEMBER THIS HAPPENED?
A man allegedly tried to reach the president with a shotgun at one of Washington's biggest events, and the case has largely disappeared from the national conversation.
Seriously, when was the last time you heard anything about Cole Allen?
