So, the dude's a "SovCit" T**** supporter from Nevada. It's also just possible that the local sheriff might be engaging in a bit of hyperbole to make himself and his department seem a bit more intrepid than they might otherwise be, so maybe a big grain of salt is in order...:

If the FBI and the Secret Service aren't calling it an assassination attempt, and he's not being Federally charged for it, it's a fair call to say he wasn't there to assassinate anyone.

Just a nutcase American ammosexual. He can be a "sovereign convict" and insist that prison bars can't hold him.

@mcfate

They get microscopically short shrift from magistrates here too. As soon as they even try to spout their nonsense, they basically guarantee the outcome.

@DyDave

They'd be a lot funnier if they weren't so dedicated to making complete nuisances of themselves.

Yes. I have a friend who works in Legal Aid (which I guess is like being a public defender there), and all she can do when someone brings them up is grimace and bow her head into her hands. The whole caper is a menace.

@mcfate

Oh yeah, I read bout her a couple of times. A real piece of work, that one. πŸ™„
