Everything we know about Trump's second assassination attempt so far

From Glenn Beck.com (Sept. 16):

The assassination attempt on Trump's life in July sent shock waves around the world, confirming what many, like Glenn, had feared: that the Biden administration and media's hostile rhetoric towards Trump would incite violence. Yet one assassination attempt wasn't enough for the political elites to change their tune. Over the weekend on Sunday, September 16th, just two months after Trump's initial failed assassination, there was another attempt on Trump's life.

This is a developing story, but some initial facts have surfaced. Here's everything we know about Trump's second assassination attempt so far:

The attempt went down at Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach.

Trump was playing golf on Sunday at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida when a Secret Service agent noticed a man with a rifle push the firearm’s muzzle through the perimeter of the course between 300 and 500 yards away. It was later discovered that the firearm was an AK-47-style rifle. A Secret Service agent fired at the man, who dropped the rifle and fled in a car.

A witness captured a photograph of the suspect's vehicle, which enabled authorities to apprehend the suspect on I-95 heading out of Palm Beach County into Martin County.

The suspect was prepared for a shootout.

While investigating the bushes at the golf course where the suspect had been spotted, Secret Service discovered the AK-47-style rifle along with a scope, two backpacks filled with ceramic tiles, and a GoPro camera. The ceramic tiles were likely intended to be used in a bullet-proof vest, indicating the suspect was prepared for a shootout with Secret Service. The Go-Pro camera was likely intended to capture the would-be assassination on camera.

The suspect identified, Ryan Wesley Routh,  was convicted of possessing a "weapon of mass destruction" in 2002.

The apprehended suspect is 58-year-old Ryan Routh, a North Carolina native who has spent a significant amount of time in Hawaii. Routh, a former roofing contractor from Greensboro, N.C., has a lengthy criminal record in the state, including a three-hour standoff with police in 2002 in which he was convicted of carrying a “weapon of mass destruction." The reporting outlet at the time revealed that the weapon was a fully-automatic machine gun. [read more]

Another assassination attempt? This is getting ridiculous! ☹️ It's a good thing that a secret service agent happened to spot the assassin's gun barrel, but what if he hadn't? The unthinkable might have happened. I'm very glad Trump is okay. If President Trump can't get enough secret service agents to cover the perimeter, maybe he should seriously consider getting an infrared drone up in the air.

Kudos on the lady taking a picture of the creep's license plate. Great job to her! 

And the FBI is charging the creep with basically gun charges? Not attempted murder?  What do they think he was doing in the bushes, shooting squirrels or something? Geez. Those charges could still be added to the attempted murder charge.
