  1. no, that's false

  2. Especially in rural areas like Coachella Valley, it's farmland.

  3.  @michaelkulyk  For this guy, yes, he's an anarchist and doesn't believe in government. They checked the VIN of the car, it did belong to him, he failed to register it, or the guns, which goes along with this "Sovereign Citizen" ideology. They are not violent, just nuts.

  4. Guns were unregistered, that's not protected.

  5. "stranded"?

  6. This wasn't an attempt at anything but to attend the show.

  7. Guns were not registered, otherwise both the handgun and shotgun were legal if unloaded and in the trunk.
    2
  8. No, even if convicted and he's not elected president, he'd never see jail time.

  9. Only charged with unregistered weapons which is a bailable offense. The Federal government may charge him for the false passports. This guy is well-known in Nevada. Not dangerous

  10. Guns are legal if registered, unloaded and in the trunk/boot. These guns were loaded and unregistered. Not a 2nd Amendment issue.

  11. Not assassination attempt, this man well-know to authorities, he's an anarchist: The "sovereign citizens" movement is not a formal organization with a single manifesto, but rather a loose collection of beliefs and ideologies. Generally, adherents claim that they are independent of the authority of the government and legal system, often asserting that they can declare themselves exempt from laws and regulations. Some key tenets include: 1. **Personal Sovereignty**: Belief in individual rights and self-governance, often rejecting government authority. 2. **Misinterpretation of Law**: They often use misinterpretations of legal documents, such as the U.S. Constitution, to justify their beliefs. 3. **Creation of Legal Documents**: Many create their own legal documents to assert their status, such as "affidavits of sovereignty" or "notices of default." 4. **Anti-Government Sentiment**: A general distrust of government and its institutions, viewing them as corrupt or illegitimate. While some members engage in peaceful advocacy, others have been involved in illegal activities and confrontations with law enforcement. The movement has been associated with various forms of extremism and has been monitored by law enforcement agencies.

  12. No, this guy is a a "sovereign citizen" they don't register anything with the government, don't pay fees or taxes.

  13. This guy drove in from Nevada, part of a loose knit group who don't believe in government. The car did belong to him, he just didn't want to pay the fee to registered it. Doesn't pay taxes either. Nut job well-known to authorities, but not dangerous.

  14.  @davecooper3238  He was charged and has a court date for the unregistered guns in Jan 2025.

  15.  @jish55  Miller was charged with unregistered guns, the handgun was loaded, he has a court date Jan 2025

  16.  @davecooper3238  Not "sloppy", it's ideology of the "Sovereign Citizen" and why his car wasn't registered either. They make their own homemade license plates and refuse to pay taxes. Vern is well-known in Las Vegas where he comes from. This story will not age well for the Riverside Sherriff Chad.

  17. The firearms charges are bailable, the Feds are investigating the fake passports, up to them to charge the guy.

  18. Miller is a well-know nut job from Las Vegas but not dangerous. He told the police of his guns.

  19. This nut job drove in from Nevada.

  20. I checked, not stranded, the crowd was so massive not all could get in, and so massive it was tough to leave. He's very popular.

  21.  @4362mont  20-30k as stated by Sheriff Chad. News reports over 1,000 didn't get in it was so crowded. Massive for a remote area in California, people came from LA and San Diego.

  22.  @4362mont  I'm in LA County, a frequent visitor of the Coachella and Imperial Valley. Members of my family helped to develop the original Salton Sea and Thermal area. This was "huge" for a political rally and in comparison to anything Harris might mount. Sheriff Chad is indeed a Trump supporter. But I've checked different sources and the crowds were large for this kind of event. It wasn't "Stagecoach", something I stay away from.

  24.  @4362mont  further fact checking. Riverside County Fire Marshall permit was for 15K, they say it was 20K with thousands left in the parking lot. Here is a non-Trump report from the day: "My friends & I went solely to see what a Trump rally was like and get to laugh at the crazies. The place was packed. I have videos of people lined up for shuttles and the line just keeps going and going. We waited an hour and a half in traffic trying to get in, gave up, then sat in traffic on the freeway for another hour and half, I have videos of all that as well. It was actually surreal and scary seeing that many Californians there to support Trump." - Reddit.

  25. They checked the Vehicle ID Number, it did indeed belong to the guy, he just didn't register it. He's part of a group who refuse to pay taxes and fees to the government. Nut job, not dangerous.

  26. No, Miller is a well-known Trump supporter out of Nevada. Part of an anti-Government group which doesn't pay their taxes, they don't kill people.

  27. Guy is well-known to authorities, he's a nut job, part of a loose knit group who don't believe in any government, they are rarely violent, just a pain.

  28. Miller is a well-known person out of Nevada, a Trump supporter, he was charged with unregistered guns, only, and has a court date of Jan 2, 2025. This was not an assassination attempt.

  29.  @Winston-lf7sb  No, do some research on "Sovereign Citizen", they are NOT "not sees". They are nutsees.

  30. 1/6 the only ones with guns that day was the government. You are incorrect. It was Pelosi who refused the National Guard, not Trump.

  31. 50-year-old nut job's only connection is to "Sovereign Citizen". He's an anarchist he doesn't pay government fees or taxes. That's it.

  32.  @PeterStone-ch9dw  It's a rhetorical aphorism: "Does a Bear S@it in the Woods".

  33.  @jish55  2nd one previously also voted for Obama, he is a lunatic, just like the 1st one, and this one is an anarchist who doesn't believe any government has control over him. He's a 50-year-old nut job.

  34. The guns were unregistered and the nut job was not there to do violence.
    1
  35. Guns were only illegal because they were not registered. Guy is well-known 50-year-old nut job who doesn't pay taxes or fees to the government, which is why his car wasn't registered either. Fake news. What conservative poll tracks Trump lies? LOL

  36. "study history" but you don't use epistemic humility in that study. Tsk, tsk. This was not an "attempt". It appears the 50-year-old man is a lunatic who refused to pay government fees and taxes, a "Sovereign Citizen". Study that, first.

  37. The arrest was gun control. The guns were unregistered.

  38.  @vin65old  He did not admit to that, quite the opposite, he said BS to that. Why lie? He was arrested for unregistered weapons. A shotgun is NOT illegal. The handgun was not illegal, that was the only high capacity magazine. He's a 50-year-old nut job well-known to the authorities in Nevada.

  39.  @marekrajkiewicz2604  He's reported as saying BS to assassination.
