A federal magistrate has made the wise decision to keep Ryan Routh, an alleged would-be assassin of former President Donald Trump, behind bars without bail as he awaits trial. This decision should send a strong message that threats against our leaders will not be taken lightly, particularly in this age where political tensions seem to be at an all-time high, and reason seems to be the first casualty of the war on conservatism.
Routh’s escapades took a dangerous turn in mid-September when he was apprehended for trying to carry out a plot that reads like a cheap thriller—complete with firearms and a letter that would embarrass even the most dramatic soap opera writers. It’s hard to believe that someone thought hiding in the bushes with an AK-47 while Trump enjoyed a round of golf in Palm Beach was a good plan, but apparently, Routh had other ideas about how to “get the job done.” He might want to brush up on some tactical training—or at least consider a career change.
Good He Should Never Ever see The Light Of Day Again !! For once set an example for all the crazy people out there that would consider doing something like this again.. https://t.co/lKi64WqFyf

The hearing on Monday peeled back the layers of this disturbing case, with prosecutors revealing that additional charges are in the works. Routh’s list of legal issues already includes federal gun charges for carrying an unlicensed firearm while being a felon, not exactly the type of character that would lead a revolution in personal responsibility. Who knew that having an obliterated serial number would be a red flag? It’s almost as if Routh wanted to make sure his firearms came with a side of anonymity.
The icing on the cake came in the form of a letter submitted by prosecutors, which reads like something out of a misguided action movie. Routh’s note, written months before his alleged assassination attempt, expressed his apparent failure in taking down the former president and even offered a bounty of $150,000 for anyone willing to do what he couldn’t. Just what kind of twisted logic drives someone to turn to such antics? It seems like Routh could have used that creativity to promote a political campaign instead of trying to eliminate one.
As the court prepares for what is sure to be a contentious trial, Routh serves as a stark reminder of the extreme lengths to which some will go in the name of misguided political beliefs. His case highlights not just a lone wolf’s ambition but also the surrounding chaos that permeates a society where radical ideologies can blossom. The country is in dire need of a reality check, and the legal system will have a chance to deliver one during what could be a spectacle of a trial. At least the courtroom will have a chance to serve as a battleground for common sense and sanity amidst the madness.
