However, the took a strange turn when Xiong began railing about the state of politics in the nation’s capital, rattling off right-wing conspiracy theories, and telling the deputy that “getting a hotel would not be necessary” for his trip.
“Xiong began to attempt to control the conversation and began talking about his disapproval for government due to the sex abuse of children, some of which that has occurred by President Biden,” investigators wrote.
MAGA trump supporters who are PoC or a minority always makes me confused. They really aren’t realizing these rallies, they’re the butt of the joke, being uncle ruckus.
I mean, the man clearly had some mental illness going on. I dont think it’s all well thought out
As easy as it would be to dismiss a lot of people like this as having mental illnesses, he just sounds like you’re typical conspiracy believing, far right, Trump supporter. The mental illness may have come into play when he actually decided to act on it, but make no mistake, many, many others are believing and repeating the same rhetoric and just not demented enough to act (yet), and they don’t deserve the easy out of “mental illness.”
He said he’s the only person left who can save the country… he talked about analyzing the White House grounds and imagined up a “weak point” in the security… this is not a typical thought pattern
It does sound crazy, but some of their echo chambers have spent YEARS repeating two conflicting messages 1) we need to use violence to “fix” the country and 2) anyone who actually tries to organize any activity is an FBI member trying to arrest people. It’s true that a sane person still wouldn’t try to go kill politicians by themselves, but it’s no surprise to me that some of those members eventually do come to the “I am the only person who can fix this” conclusion.
Blow my mind how bad some of you are at identifying textbook psychosis
lol! All his meticulous planning and not even half a thought on how to shut the fuck up around cops.
Officer: “Sir I pulled you over because you were driving aggressi-“
Him: “I plan to do crimes!! Lots of them!”
Our security agencies should be on red alert right now. He’s not the only one drinking the kool aid.
It sounds like he needs mental help.
There’s no mention of a lawyer or any support, the guys just completely dropped himself in it. Perhaps a very low IQ or some sort of mental health problems that prison is really not going to help.
This is far from normal behaviour.
Is a low IQ correlated to a person’s propensity to commit violent acts? As a person with low IQ, I don’t feel like prison is either less of a deterent from committing crimes, or less likely to be a reforming experience, but I’ve never been to prison and recognize that my impressions would only be an anecdote and not something to draw conclusion from.
I honestly do not know how IQ and the ability to judge the future outcomes of ones actions tie together.
I do know that confessing to crimes, and then saying that he’ll try to commit those same offences upon release is not a very sensible idea if he values his freedom from prison. On the otherhand perhaps the guy thinks his being a martyr for the cause and his openness will encourage others, time will tell.
