New images reveal the backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle that a gunman left behind when fleeing the scene where he was targeting Donald Trump.
Law enforcement held a press conference in West Palm Beach on Sunday after the FBI announced it is investigating a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump in just two months.
The former president was rushed to safety on Sunday after multiple shots were fired in his vicinity while he was playing golf at his club in West Palm Beach.

Not a very bright "would-be" assassin if he's 400-500 yards away from the target and uses an AK-47, which is good to about 50 yards.

Nevertheless, good work by the feds to stop and capture this cretin.

#1, AK 47 'style' I missed the first time through = rifle with a magazine, and/or scope. I'm just glad he didn't get the other ear clipped. I'd like to see him get his own people in all matters of security. the closer we get the crazier it's going to get. Musk beef up his army.

The GoPro would indicate someone paid him to do the hit and wanted to watch the proof.

Incompetent nutcase, IMO.
Scopes on AKs are typically of little real value because there are essentially no solid mounting systems for scopes on the market. In addition, the inherent accuracy of the AK design is relatively poor. Still, very dangerous,and even idiots occasionally get lucky. Unskilled,poor weapon choice or not, still very dangerous.
And this will not be the last.

Funny, it took nine weeks to release pics of the Butler shooter's gear.

Why isn't the Secret Service FOLLOWING Trump on the golf course, as well as being ahead of him on the course?
(I am just a grandma, but that question occurred to me.)

A really good canine unit patrolling the Trump properties or wherever he should be visiting or speaking at would be what I think could be called "a force multiplier." Get those Malinois out there NOW! Some nice Shepherds would be a lovely addition (I can attest to their marvelous character).

400-500 yards with an ak style rifle is pretty ambitious. The 7.62X39 round is not that powerful to start with. Yes, it will go that far, but there are better rifles out there. Just another liberal soy boy who saw one on TV and thought it looked cool.

How the heck did this guy know when and where Trump would be playing golf?

Right, #10. Who knew which hole and @ what time he'd be there. Until we know more, there's something sort of wag-the-doggish about our limited knowledge thus far.
There's supposedly a city bus stop through that same colonnade of trees, only much closer to where Trump was. Wouldn't an assassin choose the much closer location instead? Routh has a peculiar history of getting attention for his tough-guy talk---he's gonna take on Putin and fight in Ukraine despite having no military experience. Are we supposed to believe that one day in 2023 he just called the NYTimes and told them he's going to Ukraine by himself to fight off the Russians---and they should interview him? And so they did? Just like that? And those are the types of "credible" journalistic sources the Times relies upon? Oh, really?

FBI pictures? The FBI that staged photos of 'secret' documents spread on the floor at Mir A Lago.
Trust but verify. Then verify more.

I was impressed with the information a Secret Service woman gave...she wanted to know how this assassin knew that President Trump was going to play golf and where...and why the 5-6th hole...were he had the best shot...it's an interesting question...who told this creep that the President would be playing golf...only five people knew...so how did he know?

Again, like Butler PA, the outer area of where President Trump was playing golf was not secure!!! Mayrokas who is head of Homeland Security, DOJ/FBI was withdrawing the necessary protection for President Trump so that he is vulnerable to be assassinated! These Leftists are determined to get President Trump killed! We're praying for DJT's safety as we trust other American patriots are.

The rifle in the picture is not an AK nor an AR but an SKS 7.62 x39...
