In May, Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, of Chesterfield, Missouri, decided to kill President Joe Biden. He tried to crash his U-Haul through White House grounds, but security barricades stopped him. The liberal media hoped it would be a white guy, but it wasn't, though Kandula had a Nazi flag inside the vehicle, his backpack, duct tape, and a journal.
Is he mentally ill? He reportedly told authorities that this attack took six months to plan, with the goal of him seizing power. He also praised Hitler in his interview. It's a bizarre tale, but it doesn't end there. The initial charges against Kandula included threatening to kill, kidnap or inflict harm on a president, vice president, or family member, assault with a dangerous weapon, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, trespassing, and destruction of federal property. And that's when things got strange.
Threats to the president usually are treated seriously. When someone acts upon them as Kandula did, leniency is never afforded, nor should it be. But the docket of charges facing this man got reduced to a single count of depredation of property of the United States.
Dude rams a White House barrier and "his federal charges have since been downgraded to a single count of depredation of property of the United States"? https://t.co/H21BMdw95G

I don't want to sound paranoid, but that seems like they're trying to hush this up...
There was some chatter about how we could be seeing another cover-up before our eyes, but the media suffocated this with a pillow before it could gain traction. The attacker wasn't white, a non-white Nazi doesn't sell, and hours later—everyone moved on. Why the media buried this story is not a mystery, but the notebook could provide more details regarding the motive. For now, establishing a Nazi dictatorship appears to be all we have.
In this case and the mass shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, we have two attacks where a manifesto seems present, but its details are hidden. A transgender killer attacked the Covenant School, so those scribblings won't be released. They're currently in possession of the families of the six victims, and they don't want it released.
As of now, Kandula hasn't been released from custody. At a closed hearing in June, he reportedly discussed plans for more attacks, leading federal authorities to conclude that should he be convicted of the destruction of government property charges, a terrorism enhancement should be pursued at sentencing, which could land Kandula a stint in prison of up to ten years (via WaPo):
The man who crashed a U-Haul truck into a security barrier outside the White House last month wanted to overthrow the government and replace it with a dictatorship “fueled by Nazi ideology,” and he had planned other attacks, a federal prosecutor said in court Friday.
The revelations came during a hearing before Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya, who denied bond for 19-year-old Sai Varshith Kandula, saying he presented a threat to the community.
Kandula is being held on a charge of destruction of government property, after he 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.
“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.
The other attacks Kandula allegedly planned to carry out were discussed during a closed hearing, so their nature and scope were unclear. But Upadhyaya said afterward she was disturbed by what she heard from prosecutors.
Schneider said he would seek a terrorism enhancement during sentencing if Kandula is ultimately convicted of the charge he is facing, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Assistant Federal Public Defender Diane Shrewsbury tried to get Kandula released on bond arguing, "Mr. Kandula is a very young man, a recent high school graduate with no criminal record…He's lived a very normal life."
Forget the Nazi stuff; the man tried to crash into the White House, lady. You're not going to get bonded out for that here. In all, Kandula plotted other attacks whose details are hidden and could face up to a decade behind bars in his quest to bring glory to the third Reich on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Totally "normal," right?
