*The moment Cole Tomas Allen was recognized because the alleged would-be murderer apprehended exterior the White Home Correspondents’ Dinner, one factor instantly caught my eye. Allen obtained his graduate diploma from the identical college the place I obtained my graduate diploma, Cal State College Dominguez Hills. It’s a California college with excessive tutorial {and professional} requirements and rankings.
That was simply the primary of a number of different issues about him that made little sense given the magnitude of his alleged deliberate assault. He was an engineer. He was a top-flight tech programmer. He was a top-rated trainer of the month. He seems to be nearly regal in his cap and robe commencement image from Caltech, the place he obtained a level in mechanical engineering.
Then there was one in all his identified residences, Torrance. That’s an upscale bed room metropolis that, till comparatively latest years, has been off limits if not downright hostile to Blacks attempting to purchase or hire there.
And he was Black. So, for the second anyway, I’ll put aside any of the swirl of darkish plots, conspiracy, and Manchurian Candidate theories about his alleged act. That leaves me puzzled and perplexed over how a man like this, who seemingly had every part going for him, may wind up on the bottom cuffed and hogtied by a phalanx of police, Secret Service, FBI, and different regulation enforcement exterior of the Correspondents Dinner and charged with attempting to wipe out Trump and others in his administration.
Allen definitely defies all of the inventory stereotypes and detrimental typecasting of younger African American males. There’s completely no crime, drug, gang, dysfunctional residence, or training derelict tag that may be slapped on him. He solely made one reference to race in his alleged manifesto. He alluded to himself as half Black and half white.
Even the alleged manifesto he allegedly penned is just not the same old disjointed rambling muddle of different manifestos written by mass killers.
Allen had a head on his shoulders and a mind in it that indicated he was a thinker. That, mixed along with his tutorial {and professional} accomplishments, all add as much as somebody who probably may rise to the highest in any company or tutorial setting.
The reply to the query of why he allegedly did what he tried to do lay exactly in his acumen and accomplishment. That in itself has bred anger and frustration in legions of well-educated Individuals. That was plainly in proof within the throngs that repeatedly turned out for the No Kings Rallies nationally. He was one of many protesters at one of many rallies.
If what’s reported about Allen is true, he’s a type of multitude of indignant and annoyed Individuals at every part that Trump says and does. Trump, after all, is the supreme ringmaster that has bred and orchestrated a lot of that anger, frustration, and discontent.
Allen then is each a product of and symptom of that perversion.
Let’s hope there aren’t extra terrifying merchandise of that perversion like him.
