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

funny. now everyone is talking about this and not the SCOTUS leaks.
interesting how that happened...
- Linkage?
  
  Here's one link: https://fedia.io/m/politics@lemmy.world/t/1201499/John-Roberts-secret-Trump-memo-revealed-in-huge-SCOTUS-leak#comments
  
  I think that was a typo for leaks (Autoincorrect,) but, uhm, here's the times article that came out
- Yes everything is secretly orchestrated by a shadowy cabal dedicated to a deep truth that only you and they know. "Interesting..."
So, uhh, this is wild: https://apnews.com/live/trump-shooting-west-palm-beach-updates#00000191-f7ea-d09f-a59f-f7ff80380000
Routh was convicted in 2002 of possessing a weapon of mass destruction, according to online North Carolina Department of Adult Correction records. The records do not provide details about the case.
- 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.
  
  Thanks, that's still horrifying, but it's not straight from bizarro world.
  
  I wonder if "fully auto machine gun" refers to a glock with a switch. You could buy a "totally not a switch" off ebay cheap.
I assume the radio silence on Twitter and Truth is because there are like five aides and advisors physically keeping Trump from his phone with their bodies and hiding his access to any communications technologies, so he doesn't give his followers the "kill" command.
I got no issue with people putting some fear in war criminals.
