What more we know about the alleged gunman Routh at Trump golf club

We now know the alleged gunman who is accused of pointing an AK-47 rifle at former President Trump on Sunday is 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh and has an extensive police record spanning several decades.

Routh was arrested shortly after the incident at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The original reporting of the incident said that Routh fired toward Trump but now we know that he didn't fire off any rounds but the Secret Service saw him pointing his weapon through a chain-link fence in Trump's direction and it was the Secret Service who fired at Routh when they saw the muzzle of the rifle, located one hole ahead of where Trump was at on the course.

Authorities are treating the episode as an apparent assassination attempt on Trump, which doesn't make most of us feel that he's any safer with the new D.E.I. agency.

A background check on the name given by officials, Ryan Wesley Routh, shows that he currently lives in Hawaii and has had dozens of run-ins with police, starting as far back as to at least the 1990s.

Routh is a native of North Carolina where he had been arrested for simple drug possession, driving without a license, expired inspection and operating a vehicle with no insurance. The dude is a real rebel it seems and I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that he's a sovereign citizen.

In another arrest, the Greensboro News & Record reported in 2002 that Routh was arrested after barricading himself in his roofing company's office. It created a three-hour standoff that followed a traffic stop in which he place his hand on a gun before fleeing.

Rough, who is apparently a Harris-Walz supporter, moved to the Aloha State in 2017 and has since opened another construction company that builds housing structures for homeless people, according to his own LinkedIn page.

News of the incident broke shortly after Trump was safely escorted off of the golf course, both ears intact.

A Secret Service agent spotted the would-be gunman while Trump was playing the course's fifth hole. Officials say Routh abandoned an AK-47, a Go-Pro camera and two backpacks along a chain-link fence that borders the sixth hole of the course. 

Routh fled like a coward in an SUV after a member of the Secret Service fired on him, but was soon arrested, according to authorities on I 95.

Trump's campaign quickly issued a statement that the 45th president was safe, with Trump following up in a message to supporters that he will "never surrender."

Father of teen arrested in Times Square with AK-47 was killed by cops last month

Andrew Teague, 43, was a felon who was shot and killed in Columbus, Ohio on March 5th, after a wild pursuit by police on Interstate 270 that ended in his death.

 His 18-year-old son, Saadiq Teague, was busted with an AK-47 assault rifle inside a Times Square subway station in New York City on April 16th.

Authorities tried to arrest the older Teague for a felonious assault warrant regarding a Feb. 2 incident, which sparked the chase that lasted over an hour. In his attempt to flee, Teague drove the wrong way on I-270 and ended up striking two oncoming vehicles head-on.

Teague then got out of his vehicle and began exchanging gunfire with a Columbus police officer and a deputy, Chief Deputy Jim Gilbert said.

The elder Teague had a long rap sheet that included arrests for weapons possession, domestic violence, burglary and drug trafficking. He apparently was a model scumbag which,  for the left, qualifies him for a GoFundMe page.

HK Woods, Teague’s cousin, told The New York Post via phone he’d been having issues with his parole officer and it “drove him to the edge.” 

“He kind of went out the only way he could,” Woods said. 

Yes, Teague was the victim, as usual.

The man’s 18-year-old son, identified by New York City law enforcement sources as Saadiq Teague, an Ohio resident, was busted by NYPD cops Friday afternoon with an AK-47 assault rifle and a gas mask inside the Times Square subway station.

Saadiq was taken into custody without incident at around 12:30 p.m. on the mezzanine level of the subway station off the A, C, and E line. He was not immediately charged.

Sources say the teen was sitting down and charging his cell phone inside the station with the weapon out next to him in plain sight because he's not very bright, when uniformed transit cops spotted him.

The AK-47 was unloaded, but the teen had a fully loaded magazine in his backpack, along with the gas mask, according to the sources. He also had drug paraphernalia in his possession.

Saadiq told police he thought carrying an unloaded rifle with the ammunition stored separately is legal in New York City, a high-ranking police source said. 

The FBI was also involved in the investigation into the matter. 

Woods said he’s lost touch with Saadiq in recent years but called him a good kid who enjoyed playing football and shooting stuff with his AK-47.

An Ohio man who identified himself as Saadiq’s uncle, Rennell Mahone, was flummoxed by the news Friday.

“How the hell did he get into New York?” he asked. “He had a gas mask in the subway station?”

Call Al Sharptongue, he'll dig deep to find the racism in this arrest and send those cops to prison.

AK-47 semi-automatic rifle threatens motorist in Florida

An AK-47 semi-automatic "assault style" rifle threatened motorists in Florida, police say. The scary weapon was being brandished by Raul Garcia, an almost white 21-year-old male.

Garcia is a member in good standing of the MS-13 gang and he was nabbed Monday morning after an overnight search in Wimauma, according to Cpl. Lawrence McKinnon, a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office spokesman.

The AK-47 was accused of threatening passing motorists while Garcia held it in his hands as he stood on a street corner in shorts and shirtless, McKinnon said.

Deputies were informed that the young man was holding the angry AK-47 as he yelled at drivers and jumping in front of moving cars in an effort to get them to stop so the AK-47 could do what it does without remorse.

The spokesman said that when the deputies arrived on the scene they immediately spotted the AK-47 and the tattooed Garcia running into the woods.

"Deputies assisted by K-9 and a HCSO helicopter then searched the wooded area and located the Norinko SKS AK-47 rifle and later a green bag Garcia was carrying," McKinnon said. 

The rifle did not put up a fight and was taken into custody.

Garcia, on the other hand, ran like a deer into the forest. The search for him ended hours later when he was found and taken into custody. He was arrested on charges that included improper exhibition of a firearm, loitering and resisting arrest.

The AK-47 was charged with scaring liberal drivers and hunting without a license.

Garcia is a U.S. citizen and was booked into the county jail and is on $13,750 bond. 

The AK-47 has no known relatives and was not reported missing.

Hopefully the drivers who were threatened will get together and march on Washington to ban AK-47s. 

"That thing scared the crap outta me," said Clive Kreetus, a motorist involved in the road fracas. "They ought to do something about that gun."

ISIS EBay

The "Third Armored Brigade" of ISIS has released photos depicting their training in Ninewa, a northern province in Iraq, according to The Long War Journal.

The photos show US-made Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles along with old-style Soviet armor. There are also photographs of the Islamic State training with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs).

Thanks to the bravery of Iraqi military forces after Mosul fell, ISIS was able to take the vehicles because the Iraqis ran away so fast, they left the motors running.

ISIS is operating 69 training camps in Iraq and Syria--33 in Syria and 36 in Iraq. In fact, there's a distinct possibility that some of the jihadists who trained there are soon to be opening up Halal pizza shops in a city near you.
