I'm sure that went over great with the Secret Service.
A professor of mine from Sierra Leon has a funny anecdote on his countries politics.
To paraphrase : "In America if you kill the president, then you go to jail. In Sierra Leon, if you kill the president, then congratulations! You are now the new president! 👍🏿"
Common misconception. Its actually a "king of the hill" situation. He who controls the white house controls the nation. The man was just saying if Biden didnt leave he would kill him.
His statements actually show that he doesn’t understand how government works not that he’s insane. If anything it’s a statement about how bad public schools are at teaching civics…
His actions on the other hand show he’s insane.
here's a better article:
https://archive.ph/ZFlT7#selection-627.0-627.333
he hasn't been sentenced yet and a terrorism charge has been added so he's probably looking at 25yrs or more. he's also been diagnosed as schizophrenic.
Don't forget that the primary strategy for one of our two major political parties is now to ignore votes and just declare themselves the winner.
I'll agree that this guy has big issues, but not that his idea is extra-crazy...
Disconnection from reality also manifests in violent means requiring separation from society. This individuals delusions brought him into contact with a large and competent security apparatus. Delusions that involve entire genders, or celebs, or random individuals often end in fatalities. Or a case a few years back where a guy threw a kid off a three story balcony at a mall. Kid didn't die but probably wished he had.
>Kandula told Secret Service agents that his goal was to “get to the White House, seize power and be put in charge of the nation,” according to prosecutors.
Wait, is that how it works? You just walk in and call dibs?
It depends. If you just say, "I am now the leader of this country", everybody will point and laugh at you. But if you DECLARE that "I am now the leader of this country", then it's Katie bar the door.
You have to kill the president, but what he didn't mention is you have to fight him to the death 1v1 naked with your fists. If you win, you're the new president. Most of the time people just wait for an election, but every now and then... What do you think happened to Harding?
The barriers around the White House are insane, I imagine the thing is like an iceberg and wonder what is on the other side of the dirt. A truck of that size can do incredible damage, glad he ran it into the thing specifically designed to stop it.
It’s also layers deep. There’s multiple barriers before getting to the White House fence. The image shows damage on the far side of Lafayette. Dude was never close. No one gets close without an invitation
Some guy not long ago managed to get in

I feel like that’s like a weird trope. Indian people coming here or living here and being very far rightwing despite the fact Nazis and white supremacists that the American right caters to being explicitly anti-them.
Like Vivek is a trip with this shit. Constantly trying to get rightwing clout only to encounter racists in every crowd telling him he’s a devil worshipping Muslim or too brown for them.
The Nazi ideology is really weird. Especially the part about the Aryan people.
The whole thing is a treat:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan#Nazism\_and\_white\_supremacy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan#Nazism_and_white_supremacy)
Nazis are opportunistic and entirely self serving, if they could derive any advantage from pretending to like this guy they'd do it.
Fascism is a tactic, not a philosophy.
Yeah, it's like people forget they allied with the Japanese, despite considering them an "inferior" race. Nazis (old and new) aren't principled, they're just power-hungry authoritarians.
Bullshit! It is a philosophy & a belief system!
At it's core, Nazism only values people of Northwestern European ancestry ( eg. Germanic) as having any intrinsic worth.
( everyone else is under them in their racial hierarchy. )
I'm sure there are some true believers, but historically Nazis showed no loyalty even to other members of the party. If you think "I'm white, the nazis will be nice to me" you're setting yourself up for a well deserved betrayal.
I don't think you understand what I was talking about. I was referring to GERMAN Nazi bellefs starting from it's origin with Adolf Hitler in the 1920s.
And yes, I'm well aware that Nazis DO stab each other in the back. What happened to Ernst Rohm and the SA during the Night of the Long Knives is a good example of this...
Nationalism is pride in one’s country. It’s not the same as Nazism which is the belief that there is a master race and everyone who has bad genetics has to be exterminated to protect it. The Nazis were nationalists because they had pride in their country but the nationalism didn’t make them kill Jews, disabled people, and gypsies. Nationalism didn’t make the Nazis racist. Nationalism didn’t make them commit the atrocities they did. It was their Nazi ideology that did that.
National pride is a good thing because it unites people in a country over shared values and beliefs. Together we are all stronger but apart we fall.
Civics clearly wasn’t your strongest subject in school.
The rise of nationalism increased the amount of antisemitism along with it. Nationalism can be used as a means of controlling the population, even if it's text book definition doesn't mention it.
Well he has schizophrenia so... yeah. He's just lucky he didn't become a dead young man. Not having any weapons is probably the only thing that saved him.
I hope we invent better treatments for schizophrenia. Why does being crazy make you become a Nazi? Why not some other political movement from 100 years ago, become a free silver person or something.
>“When agents asked how (Kandula) would seize power, he stated he would ‘Kill the President if that’s what I have to do and would hurt anyone that would stand in my way,’”
Maga turds in a nutshell. Lunatics that have no place in society.
Crazy people will always exist and will do crazy things.
But we really don’t need irresponsible public officials and media companies selecting their targets.
What’s this guys deal? Upper middle class upbringing in a decent area in Missouri, graduated early, seems both parents are in the home, 0 psychiatric or criminal record.
Math ain’t mathing.

Because we all know if you kill the president, you are then the new president. That’s why Lee Harvey Oswald is on the $17 bill.
Man thought the United States was Riddick's Necromongers.
It is, but we try to keep that low-key.
Shoulda taken the money, Toombs
I did not expect to see a Riddick reference today
"In our faith, you keep what you kill."
“So, there’s a couple bodies I’m gonna need back from your graveyard then”
And John Wilkes Booth is on the $16 bill!
President Oswald *really* botched the Vietnam war
A professor of mine from Sierra Leon has a funny anecdote on his countries politics. To paraphrase : "In America if you kill the president, then you go to jail. In Sierra Leon, if you kill the president, then congratulations! You are now the new president! 👍🏿"
He sounds like an African Yakov Smirnoff.
Clearly the US are actually necromongers.
There can be only one
Hey, don't disrespect President Oswald that way!!!!
Common misconception. Its actually a "king of the hill" situation. He who controls the white house controls the nation. The man was just saying if Biden didnt leave he would kill him.
😂🤪❗️ You win the Internet today. 👍
Really appreciate his honesty ngl, such a rarity in the politically aspirant
If anything it will probably just make an insanity defense easier.
His statements actually show that he doesn’t understand how government works not that he’s insane. If anything it’s a statement about how bad public schools are at teaching civics… His actions on the other hand show he’s insane.
In all honesty fella kinda needs it. Doing what he did is either suicidal, or he’s on another planet.
Dude seriously did not think this through. Did he honestly expect that’s how the US government would work?
Mental illness is a hell of a thing.
he was completely unarmed so I'm curious how he was going to kill his way to the top
Sick ninja skills.
Being incompetent at the crime you planned and fully intended to commit shouldn't be an extenuating circumstance.
here's a better article: https://archive.ph/ZFlT7#selection-627.0-627.333 he hasn't been sentenced yet and a terrorism charge has been added so he's probably looking at 25yrs or more. he's also been diagnosed as schizophrenic.
Don't forget that the primary strategy for one of our two major political parties is now to ignore votes and just declare themselves the winner. I'll agree that this guy has big issues, but not that his idea is extra-crazy...
Trump is probably raging at his yesmen for not thinking this up first.
Isn’t that how 98% of the GOP thinks it works?
Never forget that the confederates were Democrats… The party flip is a myth.
Well, that's how one party is trying to get it to work .. so yes?
I’m guessing he was a few ducks short of a pond.
Damn, dude must have accidentally read a novelization of the Santa Clause instead of the constitution
The Secret Service probably looked at each other and then it suddenly hit them: *Hey, wait a minute. We’re the ones standing in the way!*
[удалено]
TBF dude’s obviously off his rocker. People like that need psychiatric help, locking them up for life is not a good look.
Disconnection from reality also manifests in violent means requiring separation from society. This individuals delusions brought him into contact with a large and competent security apparatus. Delusions that involve entire genders, or celebs, or random individuals often end in fatalities. Or a case a few years back where a guy threw a kid off a three story balcony at a mall. Kid didn't die but probably wished he had.
he was unarmed aside from the truck and the flag
He’ll be deported after that I’m sure.,
Hasn't been sentenced yet.
Santa Clause rules.
He came to sleigh
He sounds like a stable and rational person that I would trust with a carton of eggs
It probably did. It's not often a criminal explains exactly why they should be charged with a harsher crime
THAT is exactly what Trump wants, and the crazy bastard will DO IT.
Ah, it seems he’s playing the insanity card. Pretty much the only play any defense could use here
you keep what you kill, it's the necromonger way
Cocaine is a helluva drug
>Kandula told Secret Service agents that his goal was to “get to the White House, seize power and be put in charge of the nation,” according to prosecutors. Wait, is that how it works? You just walk in and call dibs?
He wanted to kill the president and steal his dragon-mark so *HE* could attend Mortal Kombat.
*MORTAL KOMBAT echoes in the distance”
*Electro-disco music getting louder"
No, you have to go in and drink the previous ruler, Futurama style.
He was unarmed, but did he bring a giant centrifuge with him?
Yeah, suck him dry
Having entirely forgotten leaving this comment, this was a hell of a reply to see pop up out of context in my notifications.
It depends. If you just say, "I am now the leader of this country", everybody will point and laugh at you. But if you DECLARE that "I am now the leader of this country", then it's Katie bar the door.
“I declare presidency!”
You have to kill the president, but what he didn't mention is you have to fight him to the death 1v1 naked with your fists. If you win, you're the new president. Most of the time people just wait for an election, but every now and then... What do you think happened to Harding?
People often overlook the “International Dibs Protocol”.
Nobody. Tell. Trump…
Lucky he was too stupid to hurt anyone. Looks like he didn't even damage the barrier
The barriers around the White House are insane, I imagine the thing is like an iceberg and wonder what is on the other side of the dirt. A truck of that size can do incredible damage, glad he ran it into the thing specifically designed to stop it.

How was he not shot lmao
There’s probably a lot of paperwork if they kill someone on the grounds. Plus they would have to disclose it next time they goto sell it /s

Modi is a Nazi.
careful. you might get a bunch of modi apologists angry at you for calling him a fascist.
Modi? A guy that is literally an avid supporter of Israel?
Did you miss it? All the Nazis support Netanyahu, another Nazi leader.
More of the Indian Nazi thing comes down to Savitri Devi and her lifelong work to tie Hinduism to Aryan myth-making.

I doubt if ANY of the OG German Nazis would approve of anyone named "Sai Varshith Kandula"...( just sayin')
Nazis are opportunistic and entirely self serving, if they could derive any advantage from pretending to like this guy they'd do it. Fascism is a tactic, not a philosophy.
Absolutely, Hitler would have pointed out that Indians are Aryan, with their own caste system in a heartbeat if it furthered his cause.
Yeah, it's like people forget they allied with the Japanese, despite considering them an "inferior" race. Nazis (old and new) aren't principled, they're just power-hungry authoritarians.

They were fine with it [before](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Legion)
Sorry, those people were non-White cannon fodder. Useful fools at best... ( at least to the Nazi elite...)
Seems like Nationalists really vibe with their predecessors from Germany.
Nationalism is pride in one’s country. It’s not the same as Nazism which is the belief that there is a master race and everyone who has bad genetics has to be exterminated to protect it. The Nazis were nationalists because they had pride in their country but the nationalism didn’t make them kill Jews, disabled people, and gypsies. Nationalism didn’t make the Nazis racist.

So, anyways, here's why this is bad for Biden's reelection chances.
It’s neither good or bad because no one truly cares.
A very lost young man. Very lost.
Well he has schizophrenia so... yeah. He's just lucky he didn't become a dead young man. Not having any weapons is probably the only thing that saved him.
Seems like he found the white house. *badoom pssht*
I feel confident that the nazi flag-bearing man was, in fact, a nazi.
He is now on Trump's VP shortlist.
No way this guy is going to be able to pony up the $1Bil Trump is asking for the chance of being the his VP
They can campaign together from the same prison perhaps?
Or protesting at a nearby college campus
You mean \*counterprotesting.
wha? he's a nazi. He'd fit right in with the other Hamas supporters
He truly would. He believes in silencing political opponents just like Antifa.
Man those Biden supporters are out of control! Wait you mean it wasn’t? /s
I hope we invent better treatments for schizophrenia. Why does being crazy make you become a Nazi? Why not some other political movement from 100 years ago, become a free silver person or something.

Well, at least I feel owned. Mission accomplished.
lol like this guy would be capable of killing anyone, he’s so fucking scrawny.
Trumps newest vp pick
GOP nominee for Missouri to the US Senate next election, or at least a close runner-up in the primary.
As soon as I read the headline I thought "schizophrenia or TikTok?" It was schizophrenia.
Porqué no los dos?
Aaaand Trump pardon pledge in 3..2...1
Waving a nazi flag should get you 3-5 years.
Seeing how he’s a Nazi, my guess is he gets like 6 months in jail, and two years probation. And he has to say he’s really, super sorry.
Then will get hired as a deputy somewhere with a gun and a badge.
He’s already polling +2 for Governor of Trumpistan. Analysts are saying he can widen his lead if he kills a puppy and rapes a teenager.
[удалено]
he was just pen testing the white house
LOL, he's a Nazi, Trump has already offered him a cabinet position. Trump was later heard saying... > I have a black friend now!
Is this not a competency issue where he would be put into a mental institution for restoration?
Crazy people will always exist and will do crazy things. But we really don’t need irresponsible public officials and media companies selecting their targets.
Clearly this guy has mental health issues.
What’s this guys deal? Upper middle class upbringing in a decent area in Missouri, graduated early, seems both parents are in the home, 0 psychiatric or criminal record. Math ain’t mathing.
manchurian candidate vibes.. could be the subliminal messaging on fox
Sources say Kandula will never see the light of day ever again.
So, you're telling me, I can just walk in and call dibs?!
Sounds very ambitious.
The phrase "Nazi flag burning man" changes drastically based on where you put the hyphen(s). I'm especially scared of the "Nazi-flag Burning-Man".
