to the nation’s capital, lives in a brick ranch house in the backwoods of Alabama.
The 70-year-old Alabama man with no criminal history or known extremist ties represents the worst nightmare for law enforcement, experts say — an apparent lone wolf who operated completely under the radar. Police officers happened upon Coffman’s truck after the authorities received reports of possible explosive devices in the vicinity of the National Republican Club and the Democratic National Committee headquarters.
The officers quickly determined through a vehicle registration search that the truck was registered to a Lonnie L. Coffman of Falkville, Alabama, prosecutors said. Jim Cavanaugh, a former special agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the homemade devices were designed to act like miniature hand grenades.
“This guy’s not unusual to me,” Cavanaugh said. “What’s unusual is the target: the Capitol. We’d see people making bombs all the time, but they wanted to kill their boyfriend or the person who cheated on them or once in a while they wanted to attack a prominent figure.” Coffman and his then-wife purchased the 1,000-square-foot home on 3 acres for $20,150 in April 2010, records show. The house sits at the top of a long driveway with a"no trespassing" sign beside it and a couple of logs laid out across, blocking any vehicles from driving up to the house.A federal agent was photographed speaking to a woman outside the house on Thursday.
At the time of the accident, Coffman was making an average weekly wage of $629.05. He was ultimately awarded a lump sum settlement of $20,000 — which, after attorney fees, broke down to a weekly benefit of $14.01 for the rest of his life. Chad Whaley, the director of communications for the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office, said it also has had no dealings with Coffman.
After he was stopped by police, Coffman told the officers he had been living out of his truck in the Washington, D.C., area for around the past week, according to his detention memo.In addition to the weapons, the officers found a handwritten note with a quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln. “We The People Are The Rightful Masters Of Both The Congress And The Courts, Not To Overthrow The Constitution But To Overthrow The Men Who Pervert The Constitution,” it read.
Scary
*terrorist
Did he have any pallets of bricks like over the summer? Those seemed to be ok.
'Another set of handwritten messages were found on the back of a magazine. Across an ad for Motel 6 were scribblings of purported phone numbers for 'Conservative Talk Show Host Mark Levin,' 'Shaun Hannity' and '𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝘇'.”

They are ALL under the radar when they look the other was because they're white, Christian and Republican.

'Another set of handwritten messages were found on the back of a magazine. Across an ad for Motel 6 were scribblings of purported phone numbers for “Conservative Talk Show Host Mark Levin,” “Shaun Hannity” and “Senator Ted Cruz.”' Target the cause rather than try 2 find the rot?
This is where the eyes and ears of the good public comes in. If you see something, say something.
Tipped over by where these guys are coming from? Wanna know how many were radicalized? Have a watch. It’s been a long term insidious psyop recruitment... BannonOp
Yeah, right... Just like the guy who blew up Nashville.

TamirRice operated completely under the law, yet he's dead. What I learned from this whole situation is that law enforcement have a lot more patience with domestic terrorists who have stockpiles of weapons than they do unarmed Black and brown folk. This is America. Happy MLKDay

Maybe It's not enough to build a wall on Capitol Hill. Build a wall for everyone
If by “under the radar”, you mean “people have been warning us about Lonnie and people like him for years but what are we supposed to do?” then yeah seems really hard.
He is all our nightmares.

what's worse, zombification (zombies) or radicalization (brainwashed wackos)? a poisononing of the mind is a helluva drug
How many others missed ? 'completely under the radar'
If 'experts' say that extremists that are 'off the radar' are 'the worst nightmare for law enforcement', why is it a good idea to de-platform them from Twitter, Facebook, and Parler, where the feds can so easily watch them?
Forget the Taliban and ISIS. The USA now has the radicalised Proud Boys. Extremists among whites in the US? They r armed and dangerous now.
ConvictHisEnablers like Trump attorney Michael J. Desmond appointed Chief Counsel IRStaxpros allowed Trump weasel out of IRS impeachment that would have prevented all this. The Covid19 deaths, separated children and riot blood is on his hands 🙌 too
Sharedshare1 Fear porn has begun.
A bunch of left-wing vegetarian hipster in portland could manage to at least firebomb a federal building.. DC 'right wing' riots.....
drpjfitz Most RWNJ's who pull off domestic terrorist attacks are loan wolf terrorist cells, mostly flying under the radar.
This person sounds unsafe living alone unsupervised.
We can all thank Trump for the awakening of these bozos. He didn’t drain a swamp , he stirred it up and fed them bs.
JJohnson2u The good news is he was dumb enough to get caught.
Why do you all continue to call these terrorist extremists when they are clearly terrorists. I don’t get it!
Republicans are not sending their best.
Wow. Just. Wow.
Danged if they weren't planning to change the way they cook their dinners up in that there white man's house.
Radicalized by Trump! And he had the audacity to ban Muslim countries and build a wall against the mobs in the caravans that were going to invade the US. The greatest threat to the US is domestic tourism ... thanks to Trump!!!!
Home grown terrorist at their peak and psycho moment's 😒
You misspelled 'terrorist' in the headline...😡
But he’s white, so he’s already out of jail, right?

Maybe the radar is trained in the wrong direction.
Not the first Lonnie to do so.
Throw the key away
Call him what he is, a terrorist.
Nothing so dangerous than a lone wolf.
T++++ is Manson on steroids.
Just another maggot
And I bet there are hundreds, if not thousands more, just like him.
