19 yr old arrested in NC with weapons talking of assassinating Biden

1
A 19-year-old who was busted with a car full of guns and explosives—including a semi-automatic rifle—debated killing Joe Biden online, traveling to a Wendy’s mere miles from the former vice president’s home and penning a checklist that ended in “execute,” federal authorities allege in court documents.

Alexander Hillel Treisman, originally from Seattle, was indicted by a federal grand jury in September on a child pornography charge after authorities stumbled upon his abandoned van at a Third Bank in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Inside, officers with the Kannapolis Police Department found a trove of weapons, including an AR-15 style rifle behind the driver’s seat, a canister of Tannerite, an explosive material, and more than $500,000.

According to court documents obtained by The Daily Beast, Treisman’s arrest spurred a shocking investigation that uncovered his affinity for mass shootings, racist ideologies, and interest in killing the Democratic presidential nominee. Treisman quickly became the target of a Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF) investigation which included agents from multiple field offices around the country.
Should I kill joe biden?” Treisman allegedly wrote on April 15, 2020, alongside an image posted on iFunny, according to a search-warrant application. The application also details how the 19-year-old went to Wilmington, Delaware—Biden’s hometown—on at least one occasion and discussed his need to “save” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in North Carolina declined The Daily Beast’s request for comment. An attorney representing Treisman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Authorities say on May 28, 2020, KPD officers responded to a report at about 11 a.m. of an abandoned vehicle in the bank’s parking lot about 30 minutes outside of Charlotte. Peering through the white van’s windows, officers saw several guns, explosive materials, “books about survival, bomb making, improvised weapons, and Islam; and a large amount of cash banded and sealed in bank bags, estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars,” according to the search-warrant application.

Hours later, Treisman was arrested for carrying concealed weapons when he returned to the bank to retrieve his van. The application states that during an initial search of the teenager’s second car uncovered several more weapons and three driver licenses from Washington, California, and Florida.
The detention memo also noted that Treisman has no prior criminal history and “had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at age twelve.” But despite the diagnosis, court records state Treisman “denied any mental health conditions” during a May 29 law enforcement interview. He was denied bail on Oct. 6 pending trial and is being held in Durham County, North Carolina.

A van full of guns and explosives. A published intention to use these items to harm a former VP and current protectee of the secret service. Apprehended without incident. Clearly affiliation makes a difference. If only Michael Reinoehl had put a trump sticker on his car, he'd still be alive.

No doubt Treisman will be hailed as a hero, pardoned, and appointed to the role of special assistant to the president. Maybe to stand lookout while trump is engaged in snarfing. To cure his covid you understand.

Either this kid has stupid, rich parents or this is part of a seriously backed campaign of terrorism that somehow landed in the lap of an insane 19 y/o. I suspect the FBI has been tracking leads quietly before allowing this story to break.

Those revelations all come in an order that a federal magistrate judge filed earlier this month outlining why Treisman, who was indicted by a federal grand jury in September on child pornography charges, should remain in custody. It’s unclear whether Treisman will face additional charges related to the alleged plot.

News of the arrest is the latest violent threat against the former vice president to be broken up by authorities. A 42-year-old Maryland man was charged Wednesday for allegedly writing a letter in which he threatened to kill Biden and Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.).
Treisman pleaded not guilty to the three counts of child pornography earlier this month. He has not been charged with any crime related to gun possession. According to court documents, Treisman’s attorney noted he has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.
The judge’s order first reported this week, though, reveals that federal agents also found a wealth of threats and alarming Internet postings by the suspect. In October 2019, the feds say, Treisman created a note on his phone that outlined “a plan to perform a mass shooting at a mall food court on Christmas or Black Friday.” Posting on Reddit under the name AlextheBodacious, he referenced executing those he hated and stated that he was “going to do a columbine for a while, [but] I think it would better to put it towards something more memorable.”

A video taken from Treisman’s cellphone in April showed the teen driving by the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas and praising the 2017 massacre that killed 58 and injured more than 500 in what became the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. “That’s the one, that’s where they did it … nice,” he said, according to the order. Another cellphone video taken in April at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago featured a male voice suggesting that it would be “awesome” to hijack a plane and crash it into a building.
The 19-year-old’s focus on Biden started in the spring, according to the order. Between March and May, Treisman ran a number of Google searches linked to his plot against Biden, including queries on state gun laws and rifle parts. Days after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) suspended his presidential campaign, Treisman, who had suggested in a Reddit post that he had to “save bernie,” posted a meme with the caption questioning whether he should kill Biden.

He did so from the meme-sharing platform iFunny, which has become a popular hub for white nationalists and far-right propaganda. Last year, another 19-year-old was arrested for posting a meme in which he threatened to “slaughter and murder any doctor, patient, or visitor” at an abortion clinic.

Special Agent Seres testified that on May 28, 2020, employees of the Fifth Third Bank located at 606 South Main Street in Kannapolis, North Carolina reported an abandoned white Ford van in the bank’s parking lot. Officers from the Kannapolis Police Department (“KPD”) responded. Through the windows, KPD officers observed an AR-15 style rifle, a box for a Taurus .380 handgun, a cannister of the explosive material Tannerite, and a box of 5.56 caliber ammunition. The bank manager requested that KPD tow the van. An inventory search was conducted on the vehicle. The search revealed, in addition to the items seen through the windows, approximately $509,000 of U.S. currency (believed to be Defendant’s inheritance), books (about survival, bomb making, improvised weapons and Islam), drawings of swastikas and planes crashing into buildings, and the following firearms: a Sig Sauer AR rifle, an Intratec 9mm Luger, a Lower AR receiver, a Kel-Tec Sub-2000, a .22 caliber rifle marked ArchAngel, and a Russian Mosin Nagant M91/30 bolt action rifle.
Defendant disclosed that he has an interest in terrorist incidents and mass shootings. Defendant conveyed that he has lost friends because of jokes he has made about mass shootings and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He disclosed that he traveled across the country and purchased firearms in various states, including Washington (the Kel-Tec Sub-2000), Kansas (the Intratec 9mm Luger Model AB-10), New Hampshire (the Sig Sauer AR Rifle), and West Virginia (the Taurus Spectrum pistol). Defendant purchased the Kel-Tec Sub 2000 from a Federal Firearms Licensee in Seattle, Washington. The information Defendant provided for his background check is consistent with his counterfeit Florida driver’s license bearing the name Alexander Theiss (DOB 3/29/1995).

I read about this 19 year-old and also taken aback by 500K in cash, wtf.

I posted this one as well in another thread:

Maryland Man, James Reed, arrested for threats against Biden / Harris and anyone he deems as "Anti-gun".

I quote from his letter he left on the porch of a house with a Biden sign (which was caught on camera):

"We have your addresses, by your election signs... We are the ones with those scary guns, we are the ones your children have nighmares about
...We will not give anything up, especially our guns to Grandpa Biden. They will have to take them from our cold dead hands...Now for anyone that supports Biden (something something) Gabby Giffords, I will personally finish what the retard in California (I assume he's talking about the dude that shot Giffords) failed to do. I will personally put my Glock 17 to her head and make dam (sic) sure her brains go out the back of her skull, as well as any other anti-gun group leader. Now as for Grandpa Biden and Harris, when we capture (them) we will all severely beat him to the point of death as for Harris, she will be bent over and (redacted) by my rifle barrel. Then for the grand end, the both will be executed on national television"

Yup, another run of the mill cult member. Jesus, it's crazy so many Americans worship this clown.

Interesting thought. Powers that engineer assassinations have a basic rule: After the target is killed, kill the assassin, who is too naïve to know it's coming. "If you don't know who the 'mark' is at the table, it's YOU!"

I love the press release's wording. I agree that it should be illegal to go to a Wendy's, even if you're just going to make a list. I mean, square burgers? Oughta be a law.

Not to make fun. Why does such a young person want to do such nasty things? Root-cause mitigation is the best solution.

Agreed.

Klebold and Harris - 18 and 17
Dylann Roof - 21
Adam Lanza - 20
Tamerlan Tsarnaev - 26
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev - 20

List goes on.
