    One starts another thread on a topic already being discussed. 3rd time in two days. Granted the title here is wonky.

    Because the kid was a deranged dipshit (your term) doesn't mean that he wasn't intelligent and although there is more than enough evidence to the contrary you apparently do not believe that the Secret Service and state and local law enforcement were responsible for serious miscalculations and the demonstrated incompetence which resulted in the death of an innocent bystander, serious injuries to others and the near assassination of a presidential candidate.

    Unless I missed it neither the demonstrators in the upper photo nor the vandals in the lower photo are carrying firearms.

    It originated following the first (fortunately failed) attempt to assassinate the former president was resurrected following a second (and also fortunately failed) attempt.

    The only solution to this is obvious. More guns.

    Trump obviously paid for this. He needs to turn the campaign back in his favor. This is just another false flag.

    The best defense against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

    Facebook detectives have a rather mixed record for accuracy.

    NY post
    Would-be Trump assassin ID’d as Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii: sources
    While Routh hadn’t posted on his X account in a year, he frequently criticized politicians including Trump, current President Joe Biden, and celebrities like Bruno Mars.

    Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, 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.

    Routh is also a staunch supporter of Ukraine and Taiwan in their respective conflicts against Russia and China. He claims on Xthat he tried to “sell” the idea of having former Afghanistan troopers fight for Ukraine in Russia, but was denied multiple times before giving up after six months.

    I think we all knew that they would be a Republican. The question is how much did Trump pay for this publicity stunt? This will be in the news for a day or two. We need Harris to stay the course
