Man found guilty of trying to assassinate Trump at Florida golf course
Jurors deliberated for about two hours today before coming back guilty on all five counts. Uh as the jurors were being escorted out of the courtroom, Mr. Ruth picked up a pin and started stabbing at his neck. The marshals that were in the courtroom swarmed him immediately. You know, grabbed his arms and basically dragged him out of the the courtroom. His daughter, who has been in the courtroom for the past two weeks during the trial, she began screaming. Uh first she was yelling to her father, “Don’t do anything.” and then she was also escorted out of the courtroom. He was convicted of all five counts. Those include attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate and assault on a federal officer being the Secret Service agent who confronted him at the golf course. The other three charges were all gun- rellated charges. So, he was convicted on all five of those and his sentencing is set for December 18th uh back here at the same courthouse and he faces a possible life sentence at that point. His basic argument is that he never fired a shot and that there was no intent to hurt anyone that day. He claims that he had a clear shot at both President Trump and the Secret Service agent that he was accused of assaulting. Um, but he didn’t pull the trigger. He he didn’t hurt anyone. He never fired a shot. He was arguing that it just isn’t in his nature to be a violent person or hurt anyone.
The man charged with trying to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course last year tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen shortly after being found guilty of all counts on Tuesday. (AP video by Cody Jackson).

I hope he didn’t hurt himself too bad sticking that pen against his neck, demo’rats are such drama queens!
Why does your drawing look like Walter Mathau trying to stop Jon Stewart from jabbing a pencil in his own neck?
Watching the far left be destroyed is so satisfying
Another nut job…
Why did they stop him from stabbing himself?
Two weeks..
He needs to be treated, because he doesnt deserve mercy or run away from consequences
Californias next Gov. 😂
Ok, this guy just made it 1000% more easier for TACO to take him out in jail without looking suspicious. Unlike when he took out Epstein that other time and it looked 100% sketchy.
Not violent. Proceeds to stab himself in the neck repeatedly with a pen.👌
They LET a mentally deranged man represent HIMSELF. This isn't justice, this is an absolute FARCE!
Now a lefty will never see their father again and they don’t like it? Interesting
So…. I'm the only person who wants to know where a roofer got money for 2 homes. Then traveled all over the globe, got trained by Ukrainian, recruited for Ukraine, was "friends " with a cia handler, got weapons into the us (despite his felony convictions previously) , and was somehow overlooked by the internet scanning eye of saron……. shesh. Do better. Everyone do better. This is bush league.
Let's not forget he left a letter saying he was going to do it.
Ain't nothing guilty of that
Clearly the actions of a 100% healthy and mentlly stable person (sarcasm) Glad to see things are actually being handled and justice being served. Now if we could get Karmelo Anthony's case going, as well as Tyler Robinson's, and of course clearing Derek Chauvin of his miscarriage of justice, tht would be a great start to restoring the trust in our justice system
Liberalism is a Mental Disease.
Get ready for Big Bubba in gen pop
Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing.
Too bad he didn't succeed in saving us all the expense
Ank goodness he only had a pen 🖊️ and not an arsenal of guns.
He needs to be let go like the January 6th people. Sorry you missed the target.
History will remember him as a hero.
