Day 2: Would-be Trump assassin ID'd as Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii: sources
2024-09-16
See Day 1 articles here and here.
[NYPOST] Ryan Wesley Routh,
…aka Ryan Routh…
58, has been identified as the suspect who was arrested after allegedly pointing an AK-47 assault rifle at former President Trump while he golfed, according to law enforcement sources.

Routh frequently touted his do-gooder credentials and championed left-wing causes on social media.
His hair in one photo appears to be dyed blond, in another is half blue and half white. Very hep cat.
His LinkedIn shows that he attended North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, but relocated to Hawaii sometime around 2018.

Routh describes on LinkedIn as ''mechanically minded'' and enjoying ''ideas and invention and creative projects with artistic flair.''

Routh was spotted by Secret Service agents near the Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach with an AK-47, according to sources.

The agents opened fire on him, but he fled. Routh was later arrested on I-95 by local police.

Routh is the owner of Camp Box Honolulu, a shed building company with few positive reviews. While Routh hadn't posted on his X account in a year, he frequently criticized politicians including Trump, current President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
, and celebrities like Bruno Mars.

Many of his replies are nonsensical, including one directed towards X's owner Elon Musk, in which he seemed to entertain purchasing a rocket from the billionaire. ''I would like to buy a rocket from you. I wish to load it with a warhead for Putin's Black Sea mansion bunker to end him. Can you give me a price please. It can be old and used as not returning,'' Routh wrote.
Sounds like he is not of sound mind.
Few democrats are of "sound mind."
Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley
...Trump administration's former ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
, according to one of his posts in which he encouraged the Republican presidential candidates to continue their races. ''You cannot quit. Why. You must stay on the ballot to the end. You must fight. You must continue giving speeches and push all the way to election day no matter the election results. Do not give in. Join Nikki and keep working. Never give up,'' he wrote.

Hey NYP, you just admitted that people register opposite their political alignment in order to influence elections, and in this direction.

Routh, allegedly attempted to kill former President Trump while he was golfing this weekend, has most recently lived in Hawaii but lived in Greensboro, North Carolina prior to that.

His 'construction business' was building storage sheds.

#24  Charged today: "prosecutors levied two charges against him: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

The felony stems from an incident in which Routh allegedly barricaded himself and had a standoff with police in 2002. The Greensboro News & Record noted that once the standoff ended, Routh was arrested and “charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon of mass destruction, referring to a fully automatic machine gun.”.

#16  Here are my questions:
- If the dude had no known sniper training, how did he identify that vulnerability in the perimeter of the golf course?
- Most operatives will case an area for an extended period before determining a plan. How long had he been in Florida?
- The perp had a pretty successful escape plan built into the operation. How long had he been planning?
- While it is not an outlandish guess that Trump would play golf on his day off, the dude’s plan did not seem to entail him hanging out in the bushes all day. What or who was the trigger for him to get on station for his shot?

OK, I'll ask the question.
Given, Trump's poll numbers get better and better.

So how long before the LSD's stage a Harris or Biden incident to try to bump up the (D) numbers? Thus giving their propaganda arm something to run with?

BTW:
Watching YouTube yesterday, I noticed with most of the Trump Shooting videos, the LEFT had situated the Harris ANTI-Trump ad's to run.

Court records show more than 100 criminal counts have been filed against Ryan Routh in North Carolina, most in Guilford County, which underlies Greensboro.

#4  /\ This revelation adds a puzzling layer to the alleged assassination attempt.

"Puzzling layer" or highly placed Trump personal staff inside person. You decide.

Coincidences? No, I don't believe in them.

On a more serious note:
Before all the secondary data is scrubbed or adjusted:

Full Name: Ryan Wesley Routh
Born: Feb 1966
Age: 58

A good starting point for some basic background data like:

Over a 20+/- addresses in 20 years.

GIS DATA
51-3## Kamehameha Hwy, Kaaawa, HI address.
$200+K valued Home in Hawaii with solar panels on the roof (Google Maps street view).

2### Hiatt St in Greensboro, NC North Carolina address seems to be a rental address. Because the GIS database lists different owner name and he's not in the Sale History.

At least 3 different NC phone #'s in just 2024 alone.

Has the DC Swamp controlled _ _ _ washed down the shooting scene, misplaced the weapon, released him on a signature bond, or did they just cremate him after capture to save on paperwork?

#1  "In a significant development, CNN reports that Trump's golf game on Sunday was an impromptu decision.

According to two sources familiar with the matter, the outing was a last-minute addition to Trump's schedule, which originally had no public events planned for the day.

This revelation adds a puzzling layer to the alleged assassination attempt.

It raises critical questions about how the suspect, identified by as Ryan Wesley Routh, could have known Trump would be on the course at that specific time.

The spontaneous nature of Trump's golf outing contradicts earlier speculations about the suspect's "high degree of planning," as suggested by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.?
