One more hole and he would have been. I just saw the SS director say that the golfing was an unplanned event and they did a good job covering it.
If it was unplanned how did Routh know where Trump was going to be?
And how did spend hours lying in wait without being detected?

I strongly dislike Trump as a candidate to be a world leader because he resembles a lot of what the proverbs say not to do.

However, using demon logic to ostracize this person has farther reaching consequences.

Since it is said that a murderer has no eternal life in him and those who hate are the same as murderers, similar to those who lust are the same as adulterers .. it is essential as Christians to engender an attitude that gives room for eternal life in said nation.
Trump: I hate Taylor Swift.

Apparently, Routh is a pro-Ukraine zealot.

Uh

As I pointed out in post #95 in this thread. Also, who could forget Biden 's speech when he railed against Trump and MAGA Republicans with a hellish red background or when Biden said “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye” just days before the first assassination attempt. Then we have Harris who stated that Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms. This type of rhetoric fuels hatred and could very well lead to violence! The democrats really know how to exploit and abuse the word "democracy." Tyranny could inevitably end up becoming the outcome of their idea of democracy.
Add Hillary to the list.

Hillary Clinton says Trump poses 'danger to our country and the world' after assassination attempt

He needs to quit playing golf for the time being
He at least needs to use a course that is easier to secure. That one was in the middle of the urbanized area with arterial streets and built up areas all around it. (And of course, being Florida, no protective topography.) The USSS is spread to thin and they certainly won't be able to "scale up" before the election. If he was the sitting president, they could focus their resources on him, but he is not. They need to prepare and provide security for his rallies (and those of the other candidates) and the next couple weeks they have the UN General Assembly to protect as well.

That's not true. I have criticised Obama many times for his policies, like his drone strikes, and was never called a racist for it.
Good for you.

Unfortunately, some people have.

Sorry first one registered to vote republican, wasn't old enough to vote yet. This guy voted for trump. So it's seems to be the people that least potentially vote for him going after him. you brought up as if who was being shot at had any relevance here. We've had kidnapping attempts on politicians on the left.

I'm sure some people were accused of racism. I'm sure that quite a few of them were accused unjustly.

But your statement was that anybody criticising him was accused, and that is simply not true.

Yeah about that, did he do that everyday? Or just that day?
The court documents don't indicate, but likely not something he did regularly. That doesn't mean he didn't try before. We need to wait and see what other evidence is released or what reporters can learn by talking to his neighbors, etc.

Amazing how the media just moves on from these stories
Well, I think it would be an issue if he only did it that day. How far did he drive to get there? He was spotted 50 miles away, when they caught him (an hour away?) how far would he have gone?
He also was in a stolen car, I believe. When was it stolen? Where was it stolen from?
How the above correspond To donald deciding to golf, and it being known he decided to golf?

Edit to add:
He was caught because it was broad daylight and was seen leaving the scene. He could not control that. But he could control his chances of being seen arriving at the scene during the night...

Someone saw him leaving and took a picture of the car, with the tag. That information was given to law enforcement and they put a BOLO out for him.
That's how he was caught from what I understand from reports.

Fair enough. I said it too broadly. That was my experience SOME were accused. My mistake.

The Secret Service agent, who was part of an advance team securing the area one or two holes ahead of the president, spotted the muzzle of a rifle and fired shots at the gunman, who was between 300 to 500 yards away from Trump, according to Bradshaw. Given the gunman’s location, he had a clear line of sight of the fifth, sixth and seventh holes, the sheriff added.
