They tore his house down already? That’s what you call a fast investigation.

The “authorities” didn’t exactly get in the way of this nutcase over the DECADES.

“Weird” means he’s a Jammie Mammy supporter. The kind of jackass who doesn’t want a president, he wants a mammy. Somebody to take care of him.

I grew up there. If the police in Greensboro know you, that’s not good. That city is eat up with criminals. That’s one reason why we left.

Not much of a surprise...would-be assassins wouldn’t be expected to be those who have a great deal of reverence for the law.

I don’t suppose he was triggered or felt like it was his duty to eliminate “the greatest threat to democracy” “Hitler” “dictator for life” Trump? He probably felt like the Dems would reward him. Light jail sentence and treated royally the rest of his life for “saving” America.

“”They tore his house down already? That’s what you call a fast investigation.””

Apparently an old residence - old address - not where he lived currently - which was in HI....

Routh was convicted of possession of a weapon of mass destruction, a felony.

The second amendment applies to sickos like Routh as wekk as the rest of us. There's no illegal possession, just illegal use.

Exactly - I was going to comment on that but you zeroed in on it.

Talk about evading the point!

with a grandiose view of himself - from the article and "NY Times calls him a “crusader”." - from your comment.

Exactly right. He wanted to be the NYT and CNN hero.

Folks that have his rap sheet say that Routh never did any jail or prison time .

So he was Ernest T Bass , except he had a machine gun* and blasting caps.

*Has anyone anymore info regarding his machine gun ? I am usually skeptical about the press and the use of the word.

So where did the money come from to fly between HI, the mainland, and Ukraine, and buy weapons?
