Ryan Routh (tried to stab himself with a pen) found guilty in Trump golf course assassination attempt

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — The trial of Ryan Wesley Routh came to a dramatic end Tuesday when he tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen after a Florida jury found him guilty of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump last year on a golf course.

"Dad, don't hurt yourself," Routh's daughter, Sara, screamed as U.S. Marshalls struggled to restrain Routh and the bailiffs rushed him out of the courtroom.

It took the jury just two-and-half hours of deliberating to also find Routh guilty of assaulting the Secret Service agent who rousted him from his hiding place, and guilty of three federal gun charges stemming from the Sept. 15, 2024.

There’s a really dark joke that I can’t even post here based on recent events.

I certainly can’t post it on the Fox News Facebook since my name is on it. BTW we got an email last week from the boss about watching what we say on social media. Totally outside of policy (which wasn’t cited) and a real We Are Watching feel to it.
