Late for a dinner with Trump? Man arrested for driving 130 MPH — with a gun and 300 rounds of ammo — has a unique excuse

Eric Leonard Charron of Kansas City was arrested Wednesday on the Maryland-West Virginia border for driving over 130 mph. When state troopers questioned him, Charron said he was late for dinner with President Donald Trump.

But according to WJLA-News, the story only gets weirder from there. Charron also said he had “special hearing” that would give him instructions to do bad things when he arrived at the White House or the Pentagon.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Preston County Magistrate Court, the man had a handgun, 300 rounds of ammunition and gunpowder in his car. The credible threat turned a traffic stop into a national incident involving the FBI and Secret Service.

The man said he was invited by Trump and also had to travel to the Pentagon to meet with a leader of the U.S. Army to return a phone.

My derision is directed to those who seemingly trigger mentally ill people to act violently.

Oh, and towards the states for not making it easy for the mentally ill people and their loved ones to get the help they need. We ignore this problem at our own peril, proven every day in the USA.

we are caring people here, hoping to sway enough of the 40% to drop the derisive, devisive GOP

If/when they appear here hoping to find a reasonable community, is it helpful to find comments that are unkind?

I don't think so.

Oddly, many of the most unkind, incendiary comments are are posted by DUers with very few posts. 🤔🤔

makes one wonder if some are trolling DU.

I'm not suggesting that you are trolling.

I just want to state that first impressions on this site during this importnat election are important.

Let's all be GOOD DU AMBASSADORS.

I'll try not to slip as well. ✌️

this literally improves your health.

It is chaos' intention to create stress/chaos. The GOP is masterful at promoting fear and division.

We can use that fear, if Dems step up with creative messaging.

I sat out 2016 debate, voted of course, but didn't write posts.

2020 is a last straw event.

We must come together and rally in a positive, unified manner.

We can do this.

We will win this. We have to win this.

Serious about meditation.

Ther is a documentary on Netflix called "Heal"

scientifically proven with instrumentation & lab tests that how we think affects the quality of our blood & cells.

We are NOT victims of our genes, we can be Masters of our genetics.


If you don't have netflix, go to youtube and search for "heal documentary". Lots of vignettes from the documentary

Balance body, mind, spirit.

The grateful exercise is the easiest to achieve a positive result, less resistence to being grateful than forgiving. Give it a try. Some of my worst experiences were awesome learning moments.

Sit quietly, be aware of your breathing. Use your imagination to go to the people & events and find something(s) you are grateful for.

If you succeed, you can experience a better high than any substance ever did.

✨🙏✨

so they need guns to protect themselves



It would be really interesting if Trump asks why his dinner guest didn't show up.

For all I know, Trump really did want this guy to bring him guns and explosives and he really does have "super hearing".

I'm at least half kidding, but that's how weird the headlines have been getting these days.
