Authorities in Iowa have arrested a man who was found during a traffic stop to be carrying a rifle and a "hit list" that included President Biden and Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Kuachua Brillion Xiong, from Merced, Calif., was taken into custody last week after allegedly telling police who pulled him over for driving aggressively that he was on his way to the White House "to kill persons in power," according to federal court records that were unsealed Tuesday.

Authorities said they found an AR-15-type rifle, ammunition, body armor, medical kits and a grappling hook in Xiong's vehicle, per court records.

Xiong's "hit list" of targets was compiled from TikTok videos, according to court records. In addition to Biden and Fauci, the Times reported that the list included former Presidents Clinton and Obama and Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg, among others.

1. He sounds certifiable. Glad they caught him, but in his mental state

he probably had no chance of obtaining his goal(s).

“Xiong believes that he is the only person remaining who can free the United States of evil and it is necessary for him to kill those in positions of power,” Secret Service agent Justin Larson said in an affidavit, according to the Times.

“Xiong stated that he has no intention of returning to California to see his family because he plans on dying while fighting evil demons at the White House,” the affidavit said, per the Times.

2. hoo boy

armed, brainwashed, and ready to die.

how many others?

[Justice matters.]

17. Definition of a domestic terrorist

Many others but MSM refuses to call them what they are.

[Initech]

20. And then he'll go on Infowars and Steve Bannon complaining about his rights being trampeled on.

[Effete Snob]

3. Kuachua Brillion Xiong

That’s quite the interesting set of names he has.

Is that Thai, Lao, Malay, Pinoy or some other language group entirely?

[Orrex]

4. How many is a Brillion?

[Effete Snob]

7. Maybe 5 to 10, if he's competent to stand trial

[Dr. Strange]

10. Nice post, Donald Rumfeld.

9. Xiong is a Chinese family name.

But I am making no assumptions.

[Moebym]

13. I know of someone who was originally from Laos

(Or some other southeastern Asian country) with that surname. She could have been ethnically Chinese, though.

[IronLionZion]

18. Could be Hmong

I've seen people with that last name who are Hmong but it could be a mix of several or something different entirely as I've never heard of his first or middle name

[RockRaven]

5. Zuckerberg is on his list... The guy started in CA... The guy says he has no plans to return,

because he's gonna die fighting demons yadda yadda...

Everyone at FB/Meta or in Fuckerberg's neighborhood is lucky this guy is so deranged and/or prioritized his hit list in such a way as to head east instead of going for the closest target.

[central scrutinizer]

6. Stochastic terrorism

But he’ll be dismissed as a lone wolf so those who lit his fuse (hate radio, Fox, repugs) can wash their hands

[SergeStorms]

8. I was going to say...

where could he possibly have gotten such seriously skewed right-wing ideas like that? Reich-wing propaganda media, that's where.

[Grokenstein]

11. Like this.

Fauci says Fox News' Jesse Watters should 'be fired on the spot' for 'kill shot' comments

Watters needs to feel some heat.

[yaesu]

12. what is wrong with these people, with all the crap going on in the world they are fixated on

the very people who are trying to make the world a better place.

[Moebym]

14. They don't see it that way, obviously

Plenty of people believe that the government is a force for evil or callous indifference, and it's not just rightwingers like this guy.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Fauci really gets these types juiced

[ffr]

16. Fox Noise, GOP, republicans, conservatives, RW talking heads, libertarians. THIS IS ALL YOU!

Your constant demonizing of Americans that are trying to help other Americans needs DOJ attention. You cannot dehumanize people and wash your hands of the consequences of doing so. They all should be sued into oblivion and held to account for the atrocities their whisper campaigns incite.

19. Qanon is surprisingly diverse

I was hoping Asians would steer clear of this nonsense but I guess not.

Even if he was born in the USA, Freepers will say he's an immigrant to suit their narrative.

21. I really worry about the safety of both Biden and Fauci.

The MAGAs want them dead... and I'm sure this guy isn't the only one out there. Things like Infowars and Steve Bannnon and right wing social media like Gab and Parler have isolated and radicalized these people and they'll only accept one possible outcome, and that won't be pretty.

22. More likely was heading to

Suicide by secret service and/or capital police. Good job stopping him before he got his chance to inflict harm.
