U.S. Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputy shot and killed a man who entered the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago with “what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can,” Secret Service announced in a statement on Sunday.

The suspect’s identity has not been released yet “pending notification of next of kin,” the statement said.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw said during a press conference that a deputy and two Secret Service agents went to investigate when the security detail detected that someone entered the Florida club's perimeter.

which means they probably shot an innocent delivery driver who looks like a minority.

    They ought to do the same to everyone who enters Mar-a-Lago. It'd make the world a better place.

    There's been a lot of shit going on lately

    A guy charged the white house with a shotty, another guy drove from East Coast to Vegas to attack their power grid again...

    Usually Kash would do a huge press conference for all of these, but they're happening so fast and there's so much else going on no one can talk about everything. And by the time they start talking about how bad it is, it's going to blindsided everyone.

    People without shit to lose, tend to act like it.

    I’m sure it’ll be another right-wing crazy, just like all the others have been. The fact that they haven’t tried to jump in front of it calling the guy a radical leftist means he was probably still wearing his maga gear when it happened.

    They don’t seem to understand that firing up al of this puts everyone in danger, including them. Of course, having a dedicated secret service to protect you helps, but that branch is far from perfect.

    Here’s the thing about the secret service. Fascists/authoritarians are paranoid and obsessed with personal loyalty. The problem with that is it breeds incompetence, laziness, and negligence. You are limiting yourself to an ever-shrinking pool of sycophants, and I think we all know from our own lives that the least productive or skilled amongst us kiss the most ass.

    Given that most law enforcement stories lately (/s) are completely divorced from reality and fall apart with video evidence, I'd like to see the body cam of this. Now all we have to do is wait for the AI to generate some video that matches the report...

    Keep trying! One day, one of you will eventually be successful with the task.

    Just another right wing nutjob. This one probably finally had enough (but would still vote republikkkan) of all the grifting and pedo talk.

    Why were the SS there if PEDOnald wasn't even there? Sounds sus.

    Why does the media have to be so darned vague? I assume they mean he was brandishing...
