This question will resolve YES if by 2031, Ryan Wesley Routh is charged and convicted of any “attempted murder” or conspiracy to murder statute in Florida, or federally (USA), for his actions on 9/15/24, and NO otherwise.
Mainstream news is reporting a Ryan Wesley Routh was previously convicted for possessing a “weapon of mass destruction” which was a machine gun
Now, Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested after defensive shots from Trump’s secret service caused him to flee in his getaway vehicle.
Routh was posted outside the fence of Trump’s golf course, on its main road. He had a rifle with a scope, also a GoPro attached to the fence. If he was there to assassinate Trump, then the reported distance for his attempt would be 300-500 yards.
update: inside his bags were ceramic plates, presumably for protection from counter-fire by Trump defense
Experts believe he was waiting for Trump to walk closer to him when one in the front group of secret service members opened fire on his barrel poking out the fence.
I will update description and comment/tag traders when he gets charged with anything and judge/court stuff happens, and I won’t trade here.
Comment questions and news you have 💙
First court appearance:
The first two federal charges: possession of a firearm by felon; possession of firearm with obliterated serial number.
None for “attempted murder” just yet, more charges expected to follow. I’ll keep y’all updated 🫡 @traders
Notable comments
Ryan Routh’s son:
“Ryan is my father, and I don’t have any comment beyond a character profile of him as a loving and caring father, and honest, hardworking man. I don’t know what’s happened in Florida, and I hope things have just been blown out of proportion, because from the little I’ve heard, it doesn’t sound like the man I know to do anything crazy, much less violent. He’s a good father, and a great man, and I hope you can portray him in an honest light,” Oran Routh said. -CNN
Trump’s only post today since attempt (9/15):
I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes - It was certainly an interesting day! Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! -truth social

Kamalacomment:
I am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. As we gather the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more to violence. -vp on x

here’s what openai’s o1-preview thinks (note: in the prompt im assuming obvious intent to kill Trump is found and that he aimed the rifle at Trump; and to make it easier to get a good response just say he abandoned the plan on his own)
