Cole Allen, a 31-year-old CalTech grad from California, posted and reposted on BlueSky ad nauseam — apparently preferring the alternative platform over X, as he branded its owner Elon Musk a “Hitlerian figure.” MORE AT WHCD shooting suspect Cole Allen flooded social media with anti-Trump fury

CROTON COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE BOE FORUM 4/23/26 VIDEO SOME KEY COMMENTS

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

As many of you know, the CROTON COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE BOE FORUM was 4/23/26--and standing room only; you can view the video at CCC Croton BOE Forum 4.23.26 and it is recommended that you do so.

The blog has received many cogent---and some not so cogent--comments about the event. It is important however, that you form your own opinions and vote accordingly. Some edited commentary is bulleted below for your consideration:

*****Contrary to social media chatter, the location was donated for the event; the Collective did not rent the room so to speak.  In fact, St. Augustine and Mother Jenny were thanked early on for their generosity.

*****Dominating the evening in assorted forms---debate, concerns and discussion regarding the overwhelming use of technology in the schools, the possible return of "old school penmanship" for lack of another way to put it, AI, and Ed-Tech in general. Again, standing room only--and evidence that a great many parents have had quite enough of being ignored---but again, you should really watch the video for yourself.

*****The Croton Community Collective did an excellent job pulling the event together in this editor's opinion. The forum had a certain authenticity that these affairs seldom do.

Again, you can view the video at CCC Croton BOE Forum 4.23.26 and it is recommended that you do so.


TRIGGER ALERT----DISTURBING MANIFESTO OF GUNMAN---CLARIFYING ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT THE TARGETS WERE NOT MEMBERS OF THE PRESS...

WASHINGTON — Gunman Cole Allen sent an anti-President Trump manifesto to his family members about 10 minutes before opening fire at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — calling himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” and revealing he was trying to kill Trump administration officials, The Post has learned.

“Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial,” Allen wrote in the document, which a relative provided to police, a US official said.

“I’m not a schoolkid blown up, or a child starved, or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.”

Allen described his targets as including “Administration officials (not including [FBI Director Kash] Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.”

“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote, apparently referring to the president. MORE AT Exclusive | WHCD gunman Cole Allen sent anti-Trump manifesto to family just before opening

Secret Service brass praise 'protective capabilities' that stopped gunman's attempt to create national tragedy: 'Coward'By Nicholas McEntyreSecret Service top brass praised the tactics in place that stopped the crazed gunman from committing a "national tragedy" at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. "Tonight a coward attempted to create a national tragedy. He underestimated the protective capabilities of the US Secret Service, and was stopped at first contact," Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew Quinn said Sunday morning.





and President Donald Trump said a “shooter has been apprehended” as he and other guests were evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday. Officials identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California. At a news conference at the White House, Trump described the gunman as a “lone wolf” and said he was “taken down by some very brave members of Secret Service.” One officer was shot but was protected by a vest, Trump said. “The vest did the job,” he added. The suspect, who officials said was not shot, was transported to Howard University Hospital, according to multiple people aware of the transfer.
