As a nation, the United States of America tries to ponder their view of past presidents in a good light; however, in recent years,our past presidents have become more vulnerable due to recent Republican-focused gun laws. This has in a sense brought us back to the 1800’s because guns are not being used for good. Instead, they are being used for evil–wo assassination attempts on our former president Donald Trump, and weaker security/police power at public events.
During Donald Trump’s second assassination attempt, he was simply at a golf course enjoying his leisurely activity when he heard a gunshot. This shows how the FBI, Secret Service and police are not doing their jobs well; especially since this is the second time it has happened.
As of now, the gunmanRyan Wesley Routh has been charged with two counts. The first, possessing a firearm as a convicted felon;the second, possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Both are significantly illegal in America, because you cannot buy, sell or possess a firearm with altered/obliterated identification, or possess a firearm as a felon..
The judge also discovered Routh could not afford an attorney nor a lawyer. A detention hearing has been set for Sept. 23, 2024, while the arraignment is set for Sept. 30,. Routh will be held in jail while he awaits his trial. The FBI is working hard to learn more about Routh, such as his background and whether he acted alone.
In the past, records show Routh has an extensive criminal history in North Carolina. The 58-year-old protested in Kyiv after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, and then wrote a self-published 291 page book. . The FBI is working to pursue search warrants for Routh’s vehicle, other devices, and cell phone. The suspect supposedly did not have a line of sight on Trump when he was caught by the agents–we now know he may have been lying in wait for nearly twelve hours along the tree line at Trump’s golf club. Routh was driving his daughter’s car when he was detained, as well.
Currently, Trump seeks to blame Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, which shows he lacks morals and ethics– they simply state that it is not their fault whatsoever this keeps happening to him. It is also unlawful for a current president to sabotage or harm a past president, as well. Yet, both JD Vance and Donald Trump insist this is Biden’s doing.
The Secret Service director has so far defended the level of security provided for Trump as Sunday’s incident raises new alarms about whether the agency is acting adequately to protect the former president. This shows again why this service is not doing its job as well as they say they are, as they must protect anyone in trouble and prevent incidents from occurring. It is significantly important that The Secret Service does its job no matter who the client is.Police officers today must go through rigorous training to do what they do for a living. It is their duty not to betray someone based on political stance or bias.. This shows there is something wrong with these services lately and they must figure out what it is to prevent similar events from occurring..
As a world, we can learn from our mistakes. Someone in the police force should take the time to disregard personal politics.. They must do so if they want to be respected, and give respect back in return.
