Matthew Crook’s attempt on Donald Trump certainly won’t be the last move to take out President Trump. Matthew Crook’s killing one and seriously wounding two won’t be the last more to take out supporters of President Trump.
But in the spirit of full discloser, I’ll readily admit that I’m a firm proponent of the Second Amendment. I’ll also readily admit that even though I may disagree with certain local, state and federal anti-2A laws, I’m still a law-abiding citizen.
With all that aside, it’s being reported that a young man was arrested at the Republican National Convention “exterior zone one” with an AK-47 pistol variant illegally secreted in his backpack.
As reported by FOX6 News Digital Team of Milwaukee, WI;
A 21-year-old Milwaukee man faces a misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon near a Republican National Convention (RNC) security zone. The accused is Donnell Tinsley.
According to the criminal complaint, a Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent and U.S. Capitol Police were patrolling Republican National Convention (RNC) “exterior zone one” on Monday, July 15.
While driving north on 11th Street near Highland in Milwaukee, they spotted a man “wearing black pants, a long sleeve tan sweatshirt, black gloves, a ski mask, and carrying a large black tactical backpack,” the complaint says. The man was walking away from an RNC security checkpoint. The Special Agent “noticed the backpack was hanging low on the individual and seemed as if it were heavy,” the complaint says.
The Special Agent pulled up next to the defendant, identified as Tinsley, and began a conversation. The complaint says the agent noticed “Tinsley’s hands shaking, and Tinsley began to look left and right.” The agent noticed a bulge in the defendant’s waist band. When Tinsley was asked if he had a firearm, he said, “No.” Tinsley then said, “You can check me, go ahead and look,” the complaint says.
After a pat down of Tinsley, the complaint says he consented to a search of his backpack. When the agent opened the bag, he immediately spotted a “concealed AK-47 pistol in the backpack,” the complaint says.
But wait, there’s more…
According to the same report, Tinsley’s tactical bag contained;
- Fully loaded magazine containing 7.62X39 caliber rifle ammunition.
- A ‘Scream’ movie mask.
- Flashlight.
- Two sets of black gloves with rubber fingertips.
- A pair of sunglasses.
- Allied Universal Security uniform shirt.
- Two cans of spray paint.
