The 21-year-old man shot and killed by Secret Service agents after allegedly attempting to break into President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in the early hours of Sunday came from a family of “avid Trump supporters,” according to a relative.

The FBI confirmed the suspect was Austin Tucker Martin, who entered the premises at the resort’s north gate armed with a shotgun and a gas canister around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, were not at the Florida residence at the time.

    Every American armed agency: “shoot first, ask questions later.” It turns out that every American soldier, policeman, agent is a bloodthirsty killer, for money. Not a nice people.

      I take it the other way…they have a job but they are scared shitless when something even mildly threatening happens, and react accordingly. It’s more about cowardice and fear than machismo.
