Sheriff ‘Fabricated Allegations’ of Third Assassination Attempt on Trump So He Could Seem ‘Heroic’ in Arresting ‘Staunch’ Trump Supporter: Lawsuit

/2 Comments/in , /by

The 49-year-old Nevada man who was arrested at Donald Trump’s California rally on Saturday while carrying two loaded firearms has filed a federal lawsuit claiming the county and sheriff violated his constitutional rights and publicly lied about the incident when authorities said they had stopped him from attempting to assassinate the former president.

Vem Miller on Tuesday filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Nevada in which he names Riverside County, the sheriff’s office, and Sheriff Chad Bianco as defendants. Among the causes of action for seeking damages, Miller alleges he was subjected to deprivation of his civil rights, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, and false light invasion of privacy.

Miller, who was charged with one misdemeanor count each of possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine, says he is a “staunch supporter” of Trump and a Republican candidate for the Nevada Assembly who had no intention of harming the former president.

In a news release, the sheriff’s office said that at about 5 p.m. on Oct. 12, deputies assigned to Trump’s rally in Coachella Valley stopped Miller at a checkpoint and found him to be “illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.”

In a subsequent news conference, Bianco said that he “probably did have deputies that prevented a third assassination attempt” against Trump.

Possible Assassination Attempt Thwarted? Man Arrested at Trump Rally With Loaded Guns

/1 Comment/in , /by

A 49-year-old man from Las Vegas was arrested Saturday afternoon outside the rally for former President Donald Trump in Coachella, California, after authorities discovered he was in possession of both a loaded shotgun and a handgun. At least one of the firearms was confirmed to be loaded.

According to reports from the New York Post, the shotgun was definitively loaded, while other outlets indicated that the handgun may also have been in a similar state. Along with the firearms, law enforcement officials found a “high capacity” magazine in the man’s possession. This magazine exceeds the legal limits set by California, which is known for its strict gun control laws.

In addition to the firearms, authorities noted that the arrested individual had multiple driver’s licenses and several passports under different names, prompting further investigation into his identity and intentions.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office addressed concerns about safety, stating, “This incident did not impact the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event.” Despite the alarming nature of the discovery, the sheriff’s office emphasized that the situation was contained without posing a threat to those at the rally.

A 20-year-old would-be assassin fired roughly 6-8 shots Saturday at President Donald Trump shortly after the Republican began addressing a massive crowd in Butler, Pennsylvania. Although the shooter, whom the FBI have identified as ActBlue donorThomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, was ultimately unsuccessful in his monstrous mission to kill the man Democrats have characterized as a “clear and present danger,” he still managed to visit tragedy upon at least one family of patriots.

“We lost a fellow Pennsylvanian last night,” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) told the press Sunday. “Corey Comperatore.”

“Corey was an avid supporter of the former president,” said Shapiro, “and was so excited to be there last night with him and the community.” . . .

The governor learned upon speaking with Comperatore’s wife and two daughters, “Corey was a girl dad. Corey was a firefighter. Corey went to church every Sunday. Corey loved his community. And most especially, Corey loved his family.” . . .

Allyson Comperatore, one of the victim’s daughters, said her father died “a real-life superhero,” throwing her and her mother to the ground when gunshots first rang out, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
