A former Marine suspected of shooting an Idaho pastor was arrested outside the White House. His story is not only full of bizarre details ‒ like a manifesto calling to resist "Martians" who are members of Congress ‒ but also disturbing security issues.

Kyle Odom, a 30-year-old from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is suspected of the Sunday shooting of Tim Remington, a pastor from his hometown. But he was only arrested on Tuesday evening in Washington, DC ‒ 2,500 miles away from the scene of the crime ‒ because he was throwing flash drives and other unknown objects over the White House fence.

Odom made his first court appearance on Wednesday, and refused to be extradited to Idaho within the next few days, according to AP. His first hearing will take place April 6 in Washington.

The point-blank shooting occurred a day after Remington led the prayer at a campaign rally for Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz. The pastor suffered several gunshot wounds, but is expected to survive.

Flying while wanted

Though a warrant was out for his arrest, Odom was able to fly from Boise, Idaho to the District, where he attempted to deliver a message to President Barack Obama, Coeur d'Alene Police Chief Lee White said.

"As soon as he was identified... we put a warrant in the system in our national database for attempted first degree murder," White said to CNN. "As far as the inner workings of the TSA [Transport Security Administration] and how someone with a felony warrant could board an airplane, I'm not the person to answer that."

The TSA said that agents don't have a criminal watch list, only a terrorist watch list, according to KULR. Because Odom wasn't listed as a terrorist, he was able to board a plane to the nation's capital without raising any red flags.

Manifesto about 'Martians' speaks of mental illnesses

Hours before he was taken into custody, someone posted on Odom's Facebook page, writing that Remington was shot for being from Mars, and that the pastor had "ruined" Odom's life, KXLY reported.

White said that a person thought to be Odom had sent flash drives containing his manifesto to various media outlets. In his writings, the suspected shooter mentions Remington as being a Martian who is part of a conspiracy to enslave the human race, and has a section in which he lists "noteworthy Martians," including 50 members of Congress from both parties and dozens of Israeli officials.

A section addressed to Obama asks the commander-in-chief to do something about his worries of alien infiltration.

"It's time someone took a stand to end this nonsense," Odom wrote.

The former Marine had a history of mental illness, according to Coeur d'Alene police, but any specifics of his condition are not known. Before the Sunday shooting, according to Odom's manifesto, he checked himself into a local Veterans Affairs hospital, but it isn't clear whether the suspect received treatment while there.

Odom served as a flight expedition technician for the Marine Corps from 2006 to 2010, NBC News reported. He then entered the University of Idaho, where he graduated summa *** laude with a degree in biochemistry in 2014.

The high-profile shooting and arrest come amid concerns about the mental health of returning US military veterans. A May 2015 study by charity Combat Stress showed that an average of six veterans per day requested mental health treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has been under intense scrutiny of its ability to provide timely aid to vets, especially after it was revealed that Iraq War veteran Thomas Young of Illinois called the Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) seeking help, but his call went to voicemail. A day later, the 30-year-old, who had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, committed suicide.

wonder why he didn't think obarry was an alien?

Starts jumping up and down I knew it I knew it I knew it..lol.

That dood is twacked out.

i wasn't jumping, but i did know it... been saying it for years now, since Reagan era...

Now for a word from this thread's sponsor . . .

does this policy include damages from intergalatic war and and floods?

Hummm.. This is very odd

The article does not mention RUBIO.
The pastor Remington was praying on stage with Rubio, as Rubio was campaigning.
Remington was shot in the parking lot ( discrepancies on time line), within 24 hrs.

Now.. Suddenly the shooter is a crazy veteran who just happens to have a manifesto about extraterrestrials?



Okay.. White male with mental issues, veteran... shoots white Christian male..... But in no way is this political... Except for ^^^^ anti gun.

oddest part to me: "Odom served as a flight expedition technician for the Marine Corps from 2006 to 2010, NBC News reported. He then entered the University of Idaho, where he graduated summa *** laude with a degree in biochemistry in 2014."

And the pastor just happens to be named " Remington "...

the pastor was an alien, duh...

"Remington. " An ancient alien family of gun manufacturers that just happen to be Christian Republic & White, Military.

oh, i thought that was the bushes before WW2, selling guns to the nazis...

Is Rubio related to Bush ?
Are any of the candidates ?
Obama is even related to Bush.

I read ALL but one President is related to Queen Elizabeth.
And we know the rumors there.

Who is Royal & next in line ?

This brings up a valid point though. Passengers should be screened for warrants before being able to fly.

Congress is full of something but it ain't Aliens.

yea, besides the obvious point about the aliens... we need to de-alien the government first...

Well you guys got it figured out...
Yea.....
Have you heard of folks who have worked for the government, they find something out, then the USGOV says these guys are bat@$!# crazy?

Case in point. 1989. S4 site. Also known as Dreamland. Comon folks call it area51. Guy named Bob Lazar. Physics Major. Worked at S4 for a few weeks. Was then fired, called crazy, then the USGOV said, oh yea, why did we hire this guy? He doesn't have a college degree. Makes you wonder how he even got in there. He claimed the USGOV had access to alien technology, ufos, and periodic tables that had extra minerals he had never heard of.
He was left alone in Area 51 to check out some of these craft he would be working on. He talked to some techs about were we had gotten this stuff. "We get the stuff from them!" Lazar was in shock. We've been working with them forever. So one day Bob goes awol from work, contacts a reporter and spills the beans. It was unknown to Bob at the time, but it was this action that probably saved his life. The USGOV claimed that he was a mental patient. He did not have a college education and he was prone to confabulation. One strange thing he told the reporter about one strange mineral on the periodic table back in 1989. It is now listed as one of a few new minerals on the updated table.
Sure you guys are probably right. But this guy was college educated chemist. What was it? Oh yea:

Odom served as a flight expedition technician for the Marine Corps from 2006 to 2010, NBC News reported. He then entered the University of Idaho, where he graduated summa *** laude with a degree in biochemistry in 2014

I don't know about you, but two years ago this guy graduated with honors. Nobody saw him act up at Spud U? Martians? Aliens in Government? What if???
Nah... You guys are smart, your probably right.

Phew! That's a relief.
I wouldn't want you Humans to blame us aliens for what Congress does.
