=========================================================
Fox News has reported that the alleged suspect in the second Trump assassination attempt is Ryan Wesley Routh, as we reported earlier.
He allegedly aimed a rifle through the fence on the golf course where Trump was. He was about 300-500 yards away. Law enforcement claimed he had an AK-47 with a scope and a Go-Pro camera at the fence. He also had a bag with ceramic plates. The Secret Service fired at him and he fled in a black SUV. A citizen saw him and took a picture of his license which the citizen gave to police. The suspect was later caught on the highway by the Martin County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff William Snyder said the suspect was "calm" and not armed when he was stopped. He is now in custody.
Now there's more information about this man and it's concerning.
According to the Sacramento Bee,
[He had a] criminal history in North Carolina that includes convictions between 2002 and 2010 of possession of weapons of mass destruction, carrying a concealed gun, hit and run, possession of stolen goods and resisting law enforcement, among other charges. He’s registered in North Carolina as an unaffiliated voter. In North Carolina, unaffiliated voters can choose which primary they want to vote in. Routh chose Democrats.
The News and Record had a 2002 report about a Ryan Routh who barricaded himself inside United Roofing and then faced charges including having a "weapon of mass destruction" because they said he had a "fully automatic machine gun."
The News & Observer said Routh was interviewed in 2022 by Newsweek Romania and in 2023 by The New York Times for helping to recruit civilian volunteers to help Ukraine fight the war against Russia.
“If governments won’t send their official military, then we civilians have to pick up the torch and make this happen,” Routh told Newsweek.
You can also see a report on Semafor where they covered Routh in passing and his effort to raise volunteers for Ukraine.
According to the NY Times:
In the interview, Mr. Routh said he was in Washington to meet with the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, known as the Helsinki Commission “for two hours” to help push for more support for Ukraine. The commission is led by members of Congress and staffed by congressional aides. It is influential on matters of democracy and security and has been vocal in supporting Ukraine.
Routh allegedly has also made small donations to Democrats through ActBlue. He purportedly made 19 donations since 2019, including for individual 2020 Democratic presidential primary candidates including former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), Andrew Yang, Tom Steyer, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). He has not donated to Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.
According to what people have seen of what is believed to be his X account, he was a huge supporter of Ukraine and he's also made a lot of bizarre posts, like this one to Elon Musk.
“I would like to buy a rocket from you. I wish to load it with a warhead for Putin’s Black Sea mansion bunker to end him. Can you give me a price please. It can be old and used as not returning,” Routh wrote
You can see more of what appears to be his X account here. I was looking at it as it went down, so thanks to Billboard Chris for preserving it.
According to the NY Post:
He advised Biden, 81, in an April 22 X post when he was still running for reelection, to run a campaign around keeping “America democratic and free.”
He claimed Trump wants to “make Americans slaves against master.”
“DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose,” he wrote, a similar slogan commonly used by President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“We cannot afford to fail,” Routh continued. “The world is counting on us to show the way.”
While he had been in North Carolina, he relocated to Hawaii.
What isn't clear is how he knew Trump would be there at that time at the golf course, since that wasn't on Trump's public schedule. That raises even more questions.
[He was also in a BlackRock commercial just like the last guy.]
Oh my gosh
So, I have to ask: Is BlackRock actually Manchurian Global?
Too much exposure.
A couple of hours in advance could let the club management clear a tee time for Trump.
In fact, I think we can be sure that his security detail has been advising him to forget about golf altogether since the Butler PA shooting.
Ok, now THAT’S curious. Coincidence? Hmmmmmm………..
Yes, they caught him in the next county.................
I thought you were implying that the Secret Service knew of (had some intel about) a possible shooter yesterday and that's why they were able to take him out.
That would be the opposite of happened in Butler PA, where the Secret Service might have known in advance and didn't act.
Question: The does this guy get his money to move around and do those things like that?
It’s hoes this guy-my bad.
Right. The very top of Homeland Security (the Director).
alleged? How long until everybody drops that nonsense?
It’s making me wonder about the rest of the people in that commercial, and if BlackRock has any more commercials similar to these two.
BTTT
Anyone close to Trump with ties to BlackRock…
Yes, they caught him in the next county”
.
Martin County, Dan Bongino’s home turf.
Make our government safer, locate and fire every Democrat.
Let them all work at home depot. Safer for us and safer for them.
Thanks for the picture.
"And just like that, Democrats love guns."
It’s a CYA word for the Media, ever since the Richard Jewell incident................
Maybe we should be taking a closer look at anybody who has been in a blackrock commercial so as to have a sort of heads up on these future terrorists.
Wow, that is not coincidence. These are drones, kooks whose minds have been messed with, weaponized nut jobs.
