19-year-old plotted to kill Joe Biden, court documents indicate

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

A 19-year-old who had a van full of guns and explosives and allegedly plotted to kill Joe Biden was arrested in North Carolina earlier this year, according to a judge's order. Alexander Hillel Treisman faces pornography charges and investigators testified they found evidence he was plotting to carry out violent acts and was interested in "terrorist incidents and mass shootings," according to the court documents filed earlier this month.

While Treisman faces pornography charges and has not been charged with any crimes related to his possession of guns or other evidence, a judge ruled that due to the evidence, he should remain in custody.

Treisman, who used the alias Alexander S. Theiss, is from Washington and was arrested in May after police in Kannapolis, North Carolina, received calls about a van left in a parking lot.

Through the window of Treisman's green Honda, which was left outside of a bank, Kannapolis police officers saw "an AR-15 style rifle," explosive material, a box for a handgun and ammunition, FBI Special Agent Aaron Seres testified, according to the court documents.

It is sold commercially and quite legally as a "noise maker" that is activated by being hit by a high velocity rifle round. Tannerite is not classified as an "explosive" by the BATFE. When they start hyping issues like that, as if he was carrying around TNT is takes away credibility of the story.

If the kid had made plans to go after Biden, then throw the book at him, but the charges don't have to be "juiced up" for good reading.

I just hate mistruth, not matter what side it comes from.

...did a 19yo get $500,000 dollars? Who just happens to carry around that much pocket change?
