Man arrested with multiple guns, fake VIP pass outside Trump Coachella rally, sheriff says he intended to assassinate Trump

Quote:The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department arrested a man outside the perimeter of former President Donald Trump's California rally on Sunday who was carrying multiple guns and who the local sheriff believes was plotting a third assassination attempt. The man was in possession of fake VIP and press passes for the rally.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said that he believed that the man was planning an attempt on Trump's life. This would mark the third assassination attempt on Trump since July 13. The location of the rally was the city of Coachella in Southern California, 130 miles east of Los Angeles.

The arrest took place at a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive in Coachella at 4:59 p.m. on Saturday, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said, according to KTLA 5 in Los Angeles. The rally was scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

The man, later identified as 49-year-old Vem Miller of Las Vegas, was illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine. Miller was arrested and booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine.

According to the Riverside County Inmate Information System, Miller was released from the detention center Sunday on $5,000 bail. The Sheriff’s Office said the incident was handled without violation of any rally attendee’s safety.

Miller is reportedly a registered Republican and also a member of a an anti-government group of "sovereign citizens," who Bianco says are a group of people who eschew any government laws or statutes that they don't want to obey.

Deputies assigned to Trump’s rally said Miller rolled up in a black SUV to a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive around 5 p.m. He was found to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

Bianco told the Southern California News Group on Sunday that he believes Miller was intending to assassinate Trump. Bianco said his deputies saved the day for the president with their keen observation that Miller was carrying fraudulent VIP and media passes at the rally checkpoint.

“They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm,” Bianco told The Press-Enterprise in reference to the passes. “We probably stopped another assassination attempt.”

The sherrif said he couldn't believe his community could ever be the scene of another attempted assassination. “I thought it’s not going to happen in Riverside County. We don’t have the same sicko issues and violent protests like they have in Los Angeles. We’re better than that. Go figure," the Press-Enterprise reported.

Bianco his personnel have already been praised by the US Secret Service for going “above and beyond” in their efforts to protect Trump and others who attended the rally.

“I am extremely proud of the mental and physical effort our deputies showed all day,” said Bianco, referencing the 100 degree temperatures at the rally site.

Funny how MAGA people are the threats to everything... yet these assassination attempts only go in one direction.

Just a note: The sheriff that arrested him was one that took a knee in support of Antifa during the riots.

So if someone gets caught with multiple loaded guns on the perimeter of a Trump rally, that doesn't count as an assassination attempt? Why the hell else would he be there? To protect Trump?

Just a 3rd assassination attempt, no biggie. *shrug*

Why are conservative always playing the victim card?

These evil white Christian nationalists have to be stopped!!!!!!!!

Riverside County Sheriff's Press Conference on Man Arrested Outside Trump Coachella Rally

Quote:Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco addressed the media just after 3:00 p.m. PST on Sunday. He explained that there were two perimeters outside the event: an inside and an outside perimeter. Past those is the actual entrance to the rally, where the Secret Service takes over screening participants.

The inside perimeter, where the man was stopped, was completely controlled by the Sheriff's office. He said they believe the man's name is Vem Miller, with a birthdate of Oct. 26, 1974. That was the information he gave law enforcement, and how he was booked.

Bianco said that not only did the deputy notice that the vehicle was in disarray, but the license plate was fake. The officer also found several passports with different names on them inside the car. He said the IDs and the license plate were an indication to law enforcement that the suspect was part of a sovereign citizens fringe group. The car belongs to Miller, but was not officially registered.

The sheriff said that he didn't remember saying that a third assassination attempt was thwarted, but that he wouldn't be surprised if he did. He put it down to the advance preparation his office made before the rally, and that he's glad they didn't have to shoot the suspect.

Bianco chastised one reporter's question, calling it "common sense and reason" to consider someone trying to enter a Trump rally with loaded guns and improper ID as a potential threat to the former president, who has already survived two assassination attempts.

He did confirm something that the man told the media after he posted bail, that someone gave him a pass. The sheriff said later in the press conference that it wasn't clear whether the pass was a physical pass. Regardless, rally participants must do their own registration for events; they can't just be given a pass, Bianco said.

He also confirmed that the high-capacity magazine found in the search was for the handgun.

Bianco said that his office has basically completed its investigation, which was on the weapons, and any other charges (if there are more) would be handled on the federal level. The investigation is continuing among his office, the FBI, and Secret Service.

Sovereign Citizens to believe in the validity of our government (Fed, state, local) so discussing his political party affiliation is a non sequitur given his affiliation with an anti-government movement. Also, if the man was a former MAGA supporter who tried to assassinate Trump then it's clear that he felt Trump wasn't the radical he thought he was.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/poli...663970007/

Quote:While not associated with any particular party due to their eschewing of politics, the Sovereign Citizen movement has nevertheless expanded and attracted new members during the era of former President Donald Trump.

According to a recent report by the ADL’s Center on Extremism, the Sovereign Citizen movement has grown in recent years “by appealing to new audiences, including anti-vaxxers, QAnon adherents, and MAGA supporters.”

“The movement has also spread extensively in jails and prisons around the country. Sovereign citizens have increased their international presence as well, spreading to a number of countries around the world,” the ADL briefing said.

We may need to look into the definition of "assassination attempt" after the election.

I guess the unregistered license plate, the ammo and the numerous passports in different names were all incidental, too, right?

And the crazy thing is they let him go a few hours after booking him, without even having an opportunity to investigate him. Typical California.
