Oh I've seen this one before! The next part is 'The FBI knew about them and did nothing'.

According to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, somebody with Routh’s same full name and date of birth racked up more than a dozen criminal charges in 2001 and 2002, including for carrying a concealed weapon and hit and run. He also picked up a particularly alarming felony in April 2002 for “possessing a weapon of mass destruction,” records show.

fucking what? the ATF is happy to jail you and shoot your dog if your AR's barrel is 10" long, how the fuck was this person roaming free after being caught with what was presumably a bomb!?

IIRC the term "WMD" applies to three four things: biological, chemical, and nuclear, and radiological. So it could have been any of those.

In other news I once remember reading that the USA had a policy that it would respond in kind were anyone to use a WMD on them. However the USA didnt employ biological, chemical, or radiological weapons at the time so regardless of what was used on them the response was going to be a nuke.

That's the normal language, but some states have expanded that concept in state law to refer to explosives like bombs or grenades.

Even better, that was 2002. The guy who sent fake Anthrax (or who took the fall for the fake Anthrax) was facing decades in Federal prison. This guy built a N(R)BC device and was free as a bird in 2018.

I forget where, but I heard the "WMD" was a machine gun. And that he got into an armed standoff with the police.

It was a machine gun, they just called it a "weapon of mass destruction" because everybody was that kind of retarded in 2002.

Be a right winger, saw a shotgun 1/16" too short: see your wife's head explode via a FBI sniper round.

Be a right winger, sell a firearm component approved by the ATF: die in a flaming pyre while the ATF take selfies.

Be a left winger, own an unregistered machine gun in 2002 and have a standoff with the cops: make all the contacts and become a deep state actor.

If it was a squad weapon, I can see how it gets that designation. It's more than "arms" potentially. "mass" is open to interpretation.

This guy had major involvement with a Ukrainian foreign-fighter program. He very much would have been explicitly trained by the CIA. His training apparently involved being a good shot with an AKM.

He is clearly radicalized to the point where he can't imagine that anything Ukraine is perfect good, and Russia is perfect bad. He is clearly, fully, ideologically captured to the Left to the point of Ukrainian Jingoism. He repeatedly states "I will die for Ukraine" on his social media. He is also associated with Malcolm Nance.

His weapon appears to have been a modern AK-47 variant, with a proper scope, (what looks like an elongated barrel?), while using the fencing and bullet proof vests to create a fighting position, to fire at the president from 300 yards. An eagle eyed sniper happened to see him in time to take a shot.

How silly. Of all things to die for, you pick the most corrupt country on planet Earth with a puppet government controlled by the CIA.

It makes sense if you really hate Russians. But, if you're interested in protecting people, you might be better off joining Poland or Finland. Hell, I bet Latvia or Estonia would be happy to have some fighters.

Left: literally burned down buildings and apartment complexes, tons of Acts of random violence which are covered as "mostly peaceful", multiple "lone wolf" assassination attempts of politicians and political candidates, defends sexualizing children

Right: broke a few windows at the capitol once, says mean things on Twitter

it's tough to understand how any rational person could possibly think the left is the party of "saving democracy". they are demonstrably the party of violence and intimidation.

And got shot, batoned to death, and thrown off buildings for their trouble. And the survivors hunted down nationwide and jailed.

I don't remember this happening to the Log Cabin Republicans. What is this in reference to?

Technically it was stairs, but it was the long, straight way down, at building height, so I used that as shorthand. On J6 they were pushing at least a couple of people over the edge, which looked like a 1.5 or 2 story drop.

It's crazy how much footage we had of the events outside the capitol, that anyone watching could see live, the day of, that got completely memoryholed. I saw people pushed and thrown over, live. I don't see it talked about much at all though.

Oh okay. i think i saw dudes fall, but I don't think I saw a cop toss anyone over. And it was literally fall, as in they were crawling up the wall itself and slipped.

It was a crazy time, so I could be wrong, but I do recall seeing people stopped from climbing up, and tossed back down...which is crazy considering the people coming up the stairs normally were just flowing right on past. They also did seem to shove a few people back over the edge who had already made it up, and were fully on the upper path...just shoved over the edge for a pretty nasty fall. If I'm not misinterpreting, it's completely psychotic. There was no need for that; it was a tiny proportion of the overall crowd, and it was done in the way to potentially cause the most grievous injury.

Climbing like that was retarded in the first place, but that doesn't absolve those thugs of throwing them back down.

Also, for the record, I'm not downvoting you.

Yeah, it's typically the NatSocs that downvote me, regardless.

I don't doubt you either. We have footage of the police just chucking fucking stingball grenades into the crowd who can't move, as well as shooting them in the face with 40 mm rounds.

He was apprehended alive and unharmed, yes. Which means he's going to be suicided before he ever steps foot in a courtroom.

"I have no evidence that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, or anyone at the CIA, FBI, DOJ, DHS, or USSS. I was lead to this assassination attempt because of evil orange man's evil comments about Haitians eating dogs. I wouldn't have shot at him if he hasn't made unsubstantiated and baseless claims about our fellow refugee Americans. Slava Ukraine"
