Said Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Schneider, quoted in
"Man who crashed U-Haul near White House planned other attacks, prosecutor says" (WaPo).
[19-year-old Sai Varshith] Kandula... repeatedly rammed a U-Haul truck into security bollards that protect Lafayette Square north of the White House on May 22, prosecutors allege. Kandula then exited the vehicle and unfurled a red and white flag featuring a Nazi swastika, according to charging documents. Prosecutors also revealed Friday that Kandula asked officers on scene whether the media would cover what happened....
Kandula told investigators his plan was to “get to the White House, seize power and be put in charge of the nation.” He told them he would “kill the president if that’s what I have to do and would hurt anyone that would stand in my way.”
Kandula told investigators he purchased the Nazi flag online because the “Nazi’s have a great history.” Kandula told them he looked up to Adolf Hitler and called him a “strong leader” and said he admired the Nazis’ authoritarian nature and support of eugenics....

Crazy person does crazy thing for crazy reason.
The verb "intended" seems a little strong choice in this circumstance.
Slavery, Abortion, Diversity (SAD)
You don't need to overthrow the government to install a fascist regime. We already have one.
Sooo, not a Trump supporter, as originally reported? As was to be expected.
I, for one, wish there were more crazies who think they're Gandhi around, and fewer emulators of Stalin and Hitler.
I never noticed you had a "things that won't work" tag until now. It literally made me LOL.
"... replace it with an authoritarian regime fueled by Nazi ideology."
Obviously delusional with a good insanity defense. We already have such a regime!
So, execute him, right?
Everyone knows you cannot overthrow the US Government without Viking horns.
Was the FBI-instigated van driver wearing Viking horns?
No.
Thus, the FBI-instigated van driver was clearly not trying to overthrow the US government.
This van driver patsy of the FBI will be placed next to previous FBI patsies like Cesar Sayoc and the hoax FBI-instigated Whitmer Fed-napping guys.
He told them he would “kill the president if that’s what I have to do and would hurt anyone that would stand in my way.”
Did he attack the officers that were questioning him?
Pure Hollywood scripted FBI run farce to pretend Nazis are attacking us. Hint: it’s the Communists and Nazis are a cover story.
And the claim will be made (if it hasn't been already) that this clearly mentally ill young man and all Republicans (or at least those awful Ultra MAGA ones, whoever they are) share the same goals.
There's a boogeyman under every bed.

Did he mention Jody Foster?
That explains the non-aggression pact with Russia.
Yes, it is perfectly normal to take evidence of a crime and put it on the ground so the media can take pictures.
No, this wasn't some autistic or otherwise mentally compromised person who was enticed to do something really stupid by government agents. No, that would never happen. Other than all the other times that happened.
Established liars working for established liars working for established liars. Go to hell.
His federal charges have since been downgraded to a single count of depredation of property of the United States in excess of $1,000
Its not every day an Indian neo-nazi white supremacist gets off with a wrist slap after repeatedly ramming his truck into white house security barriers.
Nothing weird here at all.
Watching Inga defend it......priceless
And the guy in Vegas just had gambling debts, and nobody knows the motivation for the Nashville shooter [or bomber]. I'd say pull the other one, but you've surpassed your quota.
Sai Varshith Kandula
Well, I guess he's Aryan in the original sense of the term, huh? And does he think that a swastika is just an old Hindu symbol as well?
Somehow I can't believe that a guy named Sai Varshith Kandula is really concerned about the racial health of das Americanische Volk or the ever-present menace of der Ewige Jude. Maybe, but it just strikes me as a real stretch.
Also, the way the cops busted the guy, carefully laying out the Nazi flag on the street by the wrecked truck for the cameras to see, makes me think that there's more than a little chance that this is a set-up.
Nazi regime? According to the NYT, the last President ran a Nazi regime.
Thank God for the Capital Police. Only their quick thinking and alertness prevented this man from staging a coup d'etat. Hitler seized power in Germany in a similar fashion....Isn't this guy guilty of cultural appropriation? White supremacy ain't what it used to be.
Deport his ass.
Did the article say what drugs were in his system?
Looks like she picked the wrong time to become an insurrectionist.
Now immigrants are doing the White Supremacist work native-born white Americans refuse to do, thereby proving diversity is our strength.
An insurrection carried out with a bumper truck. #HateLovesAbortion
This all seems highly unlikely (to have occurred as reported), but then he was allegedly 19 years old.
Yes, this Indian immigrant did intend to "overthrow the Government". With an empty U-haul truck, a backpack and a Nazi flag. Thank God we were saved by the brave policeman who stopped him.
Well, that and a Concrete Barrier. And his willingness to give up immediately and tell us his clever plan. I'm sure plan B was to contact space aliens.

Another BIPOC-Nazi, white supremist? Those fuckers are everywhere now!
"Pure Hollywood scripted FBI run farce to pretend Nazis are attacking us. "
How Putinesque.
Nazi-Nazi? Or an Hindu swastika? Luck did not favor his Choice... uh, choice.
Jeebus, Inga was right!
I'm old enough to remember when they shot the shit out of a B/black woman who got lost and drove up to the wrong gate.
I guess this guy has Nazi privilege.
Things that make me pause:
When I started to read this blog post, I fully expected that "He intended to overthrow the government and replace it with an authoritarian regime fueled by Nazi ideology...said Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander Schneider..." would end with something like "referring to Mr. Trump's actions."
Of course, I don't think there is the slightest possibility that Trump would want to install an "authoritarian regime fueled by Nazi ideology," but I have no trouble believing that a "Special Assistant U.S. Attorney" holds a totemic belief that Trump wants to install himself as an authoritarian dictator.
I need to get off the Internet for awhile. It's too maddening.
The government is realy dialing up the carzies lately. Almost as if they see their power unraveling.
