Trump probably shot at a rally -- Still a jerk

[pcgeek11]

He was apparently a big supporter of Vivek Ramalamadingdong and Nickelback Haley.

Too soon?

He was a coo coo with a gun.

Who is Ryan Wesley Routh, suspect in Trump assassination attempt?

He appears to have mixed politics and a history of support for Ukraine - as well as a number of legal issues.

www.bbc.com

Routh was registered as an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina, but appears to have voted in the most recent Democratic primary in March, according to state records.

In 2019 and 2020, he gave a number of small donations totalling around $140 (£106) to ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising organisation, according to online federal elections records.

An Associated Press photo of a truck outside Routh's Hawaii home displayed a Biden-Harris campaign sticker on the back.

The other speculation is that’s what he used when he went to help in Ukraine.

I read that he was rejected from service in Ukraine due to no combat experience...

And he was a disillusioned Trump voter

His account on X, formerly known as Twitter, has now been suspended, and it included a number of posts about Trump.

"@realDonaldTrump While you were my choice in 2106, I and the world hoped that president Trump would be different and better than the candidate, but we all were greatly disappointment and it seems you are getting worse and devolving," he wrote in a June 2020 post. "I will be glad when you gone."In

I read that too and like most shooters going after someone famous he has a history of being nutty. Not going to call him a democrat or republican.
He was able to get an unregistered gun as in the serial number was scratched off. Which I know you are against so let’s not speak of that it will only derail stuff.

My point was he is all over the place and crazy as a bed bug.

Agreed, sadly we as a country (and as a forum) are not able to address the low hanging fruit which is why was a nutty guy with an arrest record allowed to buy a gun which in this case appears to be illegally but regardless we need to know how it happened so it can be prevented.
Politics will always get in the way.

Maybe we shouldn’t let crazy people have guns.

Interesting how both Trump shooters were not migrants.

It means he lied about having a clean record and they found out. Lots of people with no military experience volunteer for the International Legion. Typically you are sent to an infantry training course in the West or fill a non combat role, at least initially.

The International Legion will not accept volunteers with criminal records. You must be both prosecution and conviction free, no exceptions. He lied, so they said go home, we don't even want you helping to drive trucks. Sorry man, you want the French Foreign Legion.

Fine, It may be as such. I was only passing information from the quoted article from the bbc...

However, most of his organising appears to have happened while he was in the US, not in Ukraine, where in 2022 he was rejected by the country's International Legion due to his lack of combat experience.

Well Trump is certainly in my thoughts and prayers, which from my understanding is sufficient.

Thoughts and prayers right away.

Then a reminder that it's a fact of life and to get over it.

As if the previous would-be-Trumpacide didn't have sufficiently confused politics.

Muddled politics and multiple arrests: who is alleged Trump would-be assassin?

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, had non-partisan loyalties and was arrested at least eight times before arrest in Florida

www.theguardian.com

Cliff's notes summary:

Gave donations to Democratic candidates...but voted for Trump in 2016. Became heavily committed to supporting Ukraine, wrote a self-published book where he denounced Trump for destroying the deal with Iran (and blamed himself for voting for Trump, and called for Iran to assassinate both Trump and himself!).
But in 2020 he supported Tulsi Gabbard (fellow all-over-the-shop political oddball). But then voted for Biden. And then started supporting Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley.

It's as if Lee Harvey Oswald set the template for these guys. Be so contradictory in your political activities that people will be arguing for decades over what side you were actually on.

These Things Happen.

We need a journalist to put him on the spot "Now that two different people have tried to shoot you with legally purchased assault rifles, could you reiterate your position on taking guns away from people who shouldn't have them?"

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Maybe we shouldn’t let crazy people have guns.

He is against that, he is for responsible sale of guns even if *I believe* that means the Police approve the transfer or sale.
He is pretty good about responsible gun ownership.

Do we know it was legally purchased in this case?

He was a convicted felon.
Did he grind off the Serial Numbers or did he acquire it that way from some black market seller?

I'm more interested in finding out his reasoning behind wearing a pink shirt while trying to snipe someone..

Was he trying to blend in inbetween pink roses or something?

Not sure we let him if he did it illegally.

Per what I read the gun had it’s serial number scratched off, safe to assume this wasn’t a legal sale.

Really don’t get the obsession of SS size. Former president, current candidate and identity assassination target, doesn’t mean he’s entitled to current sitting president detail.

It’s a wealthy guy golf course. There are shit tons of white rich guy loafers and pink golf shirts there.
