U-Haul driver who crashed White House barrier has most charges dropped

A man who crashed a heavy U-Haul truck into a concrete barrier near the White House had most charged dropped. He now faces only one charge of damage to federal property exceeding $1000 – said property being the concrete barrier.

U-Haul saga – very brief

Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, of Chesterfield, Missouri, allegedly crashed a twenty-six-foot U-Haul truck into a security barrier near Lafayette Square. That barrier, one of several throughout Washington, D.C., is uncomfortably near the White House. Worse, authorities recovered a Nazi flag on the ground near the truck. Kandula faced a plethora of serious charges, including:

• Threatening to kill, kidnap, or inflict harm on a president, vice president or family member,
• Assault with a dangerous weapon,
• Reckless operation of a motor vehicle,
• Destruction of federal property, and
• Trespassing.

CNN reported that the local Bomb Squad searched the truck for explosives or incendiaries, and found none. The Daily Mail further reported that Kandula said he meant to kill President Biden, overthrow the government, and take over.

However, prosecutors revealed Wednesday (May 24) that Kandula is not a U.S. citizen, though he is a documented resident alien. Furthermore, he now faces only one charge of “depredation of property of the United States in excess of $1000.” That, according to the New York Post, who also reported the court ordered him held without bond until May 30.

The story looked bad from the beginning, as these tweets show:

Another false flag?

The consensus among those influencers, and Self Reliance Central, is that Sai Kandula was the pawn in a false-flag pseudo-operation. Why, they ask, did authorities drop a charge of threatening to kill the President and prefer one light charge instead? Court records showed Kandula “planned the attack for six months.” Obviously he rented a U-Haul truck – and that one of their largest. “January 6” defendants have drawn harsher penalties for less. So how does he go from being a credible threat to the First Family to being a non-credible threat?
