Apologies for the source, but it seems to be accurate as far as ID’ing the shooter.

      Convicted, not just accused. Crazy. Either a lot of powerful people really hated this guy or there’s more to this story we’ll never know.

      Edit: I just smoked a joint and I get it now. He’s probably a professional fall guy. This is what he does for a living.

        Considering that this happened shortly after the SCOTUS Roberts leak, that theory is far from crazy. The “drown the crazy with more crazy” tactic was the Trump admin’s go-to tactic for basically the entire term.

      Whoooa, WTF. So he’s just out and about casually attempting assassinations and not in jail? I saw elsewhere he was fighting as a volunteer in Ukraine as well. Dude really seems to want to murder people.

        I had read that he had gone to Ukraine multiple times to try to fight, I have not read anything about him actually fighting.

      Looks like the article was updated:

      Routh was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possessing a weapon of mass destruction, “referring to a fully automatic machine gun,” according to the News & Record.
