He’s a RWNJ and who knows what he had in mind. I’m glad his info is out there though and they can’t use it. Oh, who am I kidding…

A man was arrested outside of a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in Southern California, and multiple guns were illegally in his possession, according to authorities.

The arrest took place at a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive in Coachella at 4:59 p.m. on Saturday, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said. The rally was scheduled to start at 5 p.m.

The driver of a black SUV, who was later identified as 49-year-old Vem Miller of Las Vegas, was found to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.

Miller was then taken into custody and booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center on suspicion of possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine.

According to the Riverside County Inmate Information System, Miller was released from the detention center Sunday on $5,000 bail.

If that’s his page it just confirms it.

Since they released him I wonder if it would be taken down.

the source told DailyMail.com. 'A man at a perimeter checkpoint had a gun but there was no incident.'

This guy was Instagramming on the floor at the RNC; I’m guessing he’s a R.

And, of course, laws do not apply, so they hope.
