Astounding chutzpah. You try to assassinate the president and then you demand a tablet.
The defense attorney for Cole Allen has asked a federal judge to remove his client from what he described as overly restrictive “suicide precautions” while Allen remains jailed in Washington, D.C., on charges alleging he attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump.
In a five‑page motion filed Saturday, Federal Public Defender A.J. Kramer argued that Allen’s confinement conditions amount to near‑solitary confinement and unnecessarily limit his ability to communicate and assist in his defense.
“Such restrictions deprive Mr. Allen of accessing resources like a jail tablet, which would permit him to communicate with loved ones outside of the jail,” the motion states.
And, no doubt, his growing fan club.
If he wanted to communicate with loved ones, maybe he shouldn’t have become a terrorist.
When Andrew Jackson faced the first presidential assassination attempt in history, he beat the assassin with a cane. Teddy Roosevelt’s assassination almost ended in a lynching.
But these days we gently lock them up and then give them free tablets.
