STAGED by Trump, or NOT staged by Trump. You decide. (poll) [View all]
https://www.thedailybeast.com/man-armed-with-joker-rifle-arrested-near-trump-golf-course/A man wearing ballistic gear and carrying a rifle has admitted to opening fire near one of President Donald Trump’s golf courses, officials say.
Sean Steiner, 36, is accused of illegally carrying a rifle in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, in close proximity to the Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the semi-automatic weapon bore phrases associated with the the Joker, a villain in Batman.
Deputies say a tip was called in after Steiner was spotted “hiking through nearby trails in the area wearing rifle-rated body armor, gloves, carrying a rifle, a duffle bag, and even a step stool.”
“Not only was the rifle loaded with a round in the chamber and a full magazine inserted... he admitted he had just fired one of the pistols near the landslide area to ‘get some anger out,’” says a statement from the Sheriff’s Department.
