WHCD suspect Cole Allen showed ‘moral contradiction’ in manifesto
Suspected shooter Cole Allen’s alleged manifesto raises new questions about his state of mind in the moments before gunfire erupted at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
A leading neuropsychologist says his own words reveal a chilling ‘moral contradiction’.
In the message sent to the family minutes before the shooting, Allen appeared to express remorse, but only to those he did not consider targeted.
“I apologize to all the people I traveled with next to me, all the employees who handled my luggage, and any other non-targeted people in the hotel who I endangered simply by being close,” the manifesto read.
Dr. Sanam Hafeez said the suspect’s message indicates a deeply contradictory mentality, despite the calculated nature of the alleged plan.
“He apologized to the people who sat next to him during his trip and the hotel guests he endangered by simply being near him,” Hafeez explained. “This reveals a strange moral contradiction: someone planning mass violence while appearing to genuinely feel guilty about inconveniencing innocent bystanders.”
Hafeez said the language suggests Allen drew a clear psychological line between the intended victims and everyone else.
“It suggests that he made a clear distinction in his mind between ‘targets’ and ordinary people, indicating that he did not see himself as randomly violent, but as carrying out a calculated mission,” she explained.
“This wasn’t random or manic thinking – it was organised, intentional and rooted in a belief system he had built up over time,” the top doctor added.
The alleged manifesto goes further, explicitly explaining who Allen did and did not intend to harm.
“Administration officials (with the exception of Mr. Patel): are targets, prioritized from highest to lowest,” it said. “Secret Service: They are only targeted when necessary, and can be neutralized non-lethally if possible.”
“Hotel security: no targets if possible… Capitol Police: same as hotel security… National Guard: same as hotel security,” the report continued. “Hotel employees: not targets at all. Guests: not targets at all.”
“To minimize casualties, I will also use buckshot instead of slugs (less penetration through walls),” Allen reportedly revealed.
Despite his earlier apology, the alleged shooter still said, “I would still go through almost everyone here to achieve the goals if it were absolutely necessary (based on the fact that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist and traitor, and are thus complicit), but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.”
