No, he can’t. He was not following FL gun law whatsoever. He was attempting to assassinate Trump, fled when he was discovered, has a long history of hating Trump online. He wrote a book asking other country’s leaders to assassinate Trump. His son was interviewed and stated that both he and his father hate Trump, as “reasonable” people do. |
I’m a democrat who voted for Nikki Haley in the primary just to take a vote away from Trump. That doesn’t make me a republican. You’re desperately trying to piece together tidbits to reach your desired conclusion. All we know is that he is not well. That’s it.

Actually, the problem with a lawsuit is not the (as yet unproven) allegations cited, but rather than suing for being shot at would require an admission that he was on the golf course at the relevant place and time, providing a link to the rifle and other preparations that were found. At this point (although there probably is DNA evidence we’re not reading about yet), if he has remained silent they have only the word of an alleged eyewitness. Such testimony is notoriously unreliable. He did not have the gun with him when arrested. |
What lawsuit are you referring to? Link? |
The future lawsuit filed against Trump and the USSS for violating this man's second amendment rights - ie: shooting at him for open carrying a rifle. |
Citation and link to this information? |
Do you know the open carry laws FL has on the books? Can you explain how Ryan Routh was not in violation of them? |
Routh’s attorneys have not issued any statements or commented a single time about his charges or case. Are you one of his attorneys? Aren’t you bound to client-attorney privilege? Why would you be publicly commenting on your client’s case publicly? Even anonymously? You seem like a completely unethical attorney and do not have the best interests of your client in mind. I hope Routh’s competent attorneys find your comments here and sue you. Hope you have good malpractice insurance. |
dude, take it down a notch |
DP What a leap. Who was calling out theories as looney? No one needs to be an attorney to assume this guy will try to defend himself with the lax restrictions on guns in FL. You seem oddly personally invested in this yourself. |
It's a theory based on new SCOTUS precedent regarding the 2nd amendment. Oddly, the theory is less crazy than your bizarre ranting. |
Whose theory is this we are discussing? |
Meanwhile in the real world:
Investigation: Fingerprints on rifle found at Trump golf club match suspect Ryan Routh Assassination attempt task force says it appears Secret Service acted correctly before and after Routh's discovery https://www.wpbf.com/article/investigation-fingerprints-rifle-found-trump-golf-club-match-suspect-ryan-routh/62287843 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Attempted assassination suspect Ryan Routh allegedly left behind an AK-47 style rifle, two backpacks filled with ceramic tiles, a video camera and food in his hedge hideout. And now the FBI has matched Routh’s fingerprints with those on the gun. Meanwhile, members of the Trump Assassination Attempt Task Force spoke to reporters Wednesday about their briefing into the Secret Service’s security protocols Sunday at the golf club. “It does not appear at this point there were any obvious failures of security and protocols. So, unlike the Butler situation which very obviously had some failures, it does appear as though the security processes and protocols were followed and the system worked as designed," said Rep Jason Crow, (D) Colorado. |
Man in custody after Trump golf club incident was once convicted of possessing a machine gun
The man in custody in connection with what is being described as a second attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump was vocal about U.S. support for Ukraine and has a long criminal and civil court history, including a conviction for possessing a machine gun. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was taken into custody after Secret Service agents fired shots at him at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, three senior law enforcement sources said. In 2002, court records show, he was convicted of possessing a weapon of mass destruction — a machine gun. After the 2002 arrest, authorities said they found the suspect in possession of a fully automatic machine gun, according to the Greensboro News & Record. The arrest coincides with North Carolina criminal court records that include Routh's conviction for possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Records also show convictions for carrying a concealed weapon, possession of stolen property and hit-and-run. In those cases, which included misdemeanor convictions for violations such as resisting an officer and driving on a suspended license, the defendant received a suspended sentence and parole or probation. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna171225 |
You lost me at attempted assassination. The SS agents who opened fired need to be in jail. |
