Ryan Routh, the Second Anti-Trump Assassin, Convicted on All Counts; Attempts Unsuccesfuly to Kill Himself by Stabbing Himself in the Neck With a Pen After the Verdict

So what I hear you saying is that he's just a general fuck-up and shit-for-brains.

NYPost:

Ryan Routh, the madman who holed up in a sniper's nest with an assault rifle at one of President Trump's golf courses, tried to stab himself with a pen in a Florida courtroom Tuesday after he was convicted of attempting to assassinate the then-GOP nominee.

A dramatic scene unfolded as jurors were leaving the courtroom when Routh took a pen and started trying to jab himself in the neck.

Courtroom marshals sprung to action and dragged him out of the room as his daughter, Sara Routh, screamed at her father. "Dad I love you. Don't do anything. I'll get you out. He didn't hurt anybody," the daughter yelled.

A few minutes later, Routh was brought back into the courtroom with shackles on. He wasn't wearing the jacket and tie from earlier and his white shirt didn't show signs of blood. The judge set his sentencing date for Dec. 18.

The jurors took about two hours to find Routh, 59, guilty of five federal charges of attempted assassination, assault on a federal officer and gun crimes following a two week trial in Fort Pierce, Fla. court.

He will face up to life in prison at his sentencing.

In happier news, he'll be Jimmy Kimmel's first guest tonight.

The deranged NeverTrump killer's daughter is also, get this, a head case.
