It's pretty likely that it wasn't an assasination attempt and comments I read on line say that he's a well known Trumper who follows Trump around from rally to rally...
The incident occurred in Riverside Co, which is home to Bakersfield and one of the Trumpiest parts of the state, at least in the South...
The reason he had multiple IDs is because,according to the Sheriff he's a Sovereign Citizen. Sov Citizens are usually armed and often their vehicles are not registered. They also usually refuse to provide their names, and add all kinds of gibberish when asked to id themselves. S
So the likely scenario was that he wanted to attend the Trump rally, seemed suspicious (watch the videos below) and when the cops tried to investigate him he likely took offense. They found weapons, not because he planned to assasinate Trump, but because driving around in improperly licensed vehicles which often contain 1 or more firearms is what Sov Cits do.
- The sovereign citizen movement is a large anti-government extremist movement whose adherents believe the government is the illegitimate product of a conspiracy that subverted the original, lawful government. They claim people can take steps to divorce themselves from the illegitimate government, after which it has no authority or jurisdiction over them.
- Sovereign citizens are known for their abstruse pseudo-legal arguments, as well as other unusual behaviors, such as inserting gratuitous punctuation marks in their names or flouting motor vehicle regulations while proclaiming they are “travelers,” not “drivers.”
It should go without saying that they are Trumpers. There's a hilarious video of a particular Sov Cit "praying" to Trump as cops who have stopped him are about to break his window to remove him from his vehicle...Winston Cave Hall aka as "the Caveman"...
They are a major headache for Judges and law enforcement...
