“Better pictures show the SKS rifle with an improvised scope mount. An unusual set-up for a would be sniper.”

That’s assuming this is the actual weapon he had. I’m not sure we can believe that. It’s sad in a way, but I no longer trust a single word coming from anyone who works for the Federal government on any subject.

What kind of moron would try to lay prone with that? There’s no way you could get a decent sight picture with that piece if crap.

I have another article coming up that has better pictures.

Routh seems to have been capable in many ways, but his choice of rifle and field craft were sub-par.

“..There’s no way you could get a decent sight picture with that piece if crap....”

Exactly, but they likely want to kill him with one of their “assault weapons” so they can get a “two for one” score: Trump gone and a real big gig to outlaw “assault weapons”. Evil to the max.

I think you nailed that real heart of the matter - we’re dealing with a moron.

Looks like scope was zip tied.

Routh is the worst kind of idiot. He's a delusional idiot who thinks he's important. I despise people like him. I hope he runs out of Vaseline in prison. He deserves the raw treatment for the wrest of his life.
