Ryan Wesley Roth Charged in Trump Assassination Attempt

On Tuesday, Ryan Wesley Roth, 58, was taken into custody following a suspected second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Roth, a resident of Hawaii and originally from North Carolina, has a troubling history with firearms, including charges related to a weapon of mass destruction and a prior police standoff in 2002. Authorities became concerned after Roth showed interest in recruiting volunteers to support Ukrainian forces and openly expressed his views on the ongoing conflict, framing it as a black and white struggle between good and evil. He has also acknowledged having voted for Trump at one point in his life. Given his criminal background and the nature of these recent events, Roth has been charged with two federal gun crimes. This alarming incident highlights the ongoing threats facing public figures and the need for enhanced security measures.
