Shouldn’t the Headline read as “Would-Be Assassin”?

I didn’t know this PoS injured a six year old girl that day.

I’d love to see the death penalty for treason..or whatever....but life is good enough.

I’d also like to see the girl’s parents sue in civil court him...although he probably isn’t worth anything....but also go after any leftist organizations that he might be affiliated with that they can tie to inciting him to attempt an assassination.

“I didn’t know this PoS injured a six year old girl that day.”

I didn’t either and I bet most people don’t.

We can thank a media that only wants to report what they think we need to know.

From the article: “The agent was within five feet of Routh and fired at least six times but missed.”

This is an exaggeration. In a story about the assassination attempt, an article claimed the Secret Service agent may have been as close as five feet from the suspect.

This seems highly unlikely, as the agent was reported to have exited the golf cart to the side opposite the suspect before opening fire.

The golf cart was almost certainly on the golf cart track. The golf cart track was several feet away from where the suspect was located.

The distance between the suspect and the agent, when the firing took place, was almost certainly more than 10 feet, and probably more than 20 feet.

It is very close, but not under five feet.

Murder seems a stretch for a car crash.

It wasn’t just a car accident, it was fleeing the scene of the crime.
