http://bigstory.ap.org/article/06e5...ies-man-vegas-rally-said-he-wanted-kill-trump A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer's gun so he could kill the candidate, the Secret Service said. A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He was expected to appear in court later in the day as the investigation continued. Authorities said Sandford went to a Trump rally on Saturday at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump. The report says Sandford was arrested after grabbing the handle of an officer's gun in an attempt to remove it. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney. Las Vegas police say Sandford is 19. He had a United Kingdom driver's license with him at the time, according to the complaint signed by Secret Service Special Agent Joseph Hall. Agents said Sandford told them he had been in the U.S. for about a year and a half, lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, and drove to the San Bernardino, California, area before coming to Las Vegas on June 16. Sandford told officers he had been planning an assassination for about a year and was convinced he would die in the attempt. He said he also reserved a ticket for a Trump rally in Phoenix, scheduled for later in the day, as a backup. He told authorities that he went to the Battlefield Vegas shooting range the day before the rally and fired 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol to learn how to use it. Police detectives who visited the range spoke with an employee who confirmed that he provided Sandford shooting lessons, according to the complaint. ____________________________________________ Very disturbing that we have a British guy grabbing at an officer's gun with the hopes of shooting Donald Trump. Given the recent assassination of an MP in the UK, one has to wonder what the hell is going on in these people's minds that they would want to kill people over political differences.
When will the lefty media finally sit back and say " we did it ! we created a huge audience of stupid" ?
That kid must be mentally ill. He's going to jail for a longggggg time for doing something really stupid with no actual chance of getting to Trump.
Maybe after Fix so called news networks admits that they created their audience of idiot sheeple. - - - Updated - - - Just about every controversial candidate gas a death threat against him or maybe her. There is explaining evil, stupid, or nut cases.
You don't think the fake hate speech the Dems are attributing to Trump and the real hate speech they themselves are applying to Trump would do it? I'd like to see a few arrests made, myself, just as I believe Palin and a few others should have been arrested after Gifford was shot.
Undoubtedly driven to attempt murder by the Left's climate of hate toward Trump. Surging Trump battles to within the margin of error in the critical swing state of VA. He was down 10 at the year turn. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2015/PPP_Release_VA_61616.pdf Incredibly Trump is tied with Crooked Hillary in PA. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2015/PPP_Release_PA_60816.pdf Trump leads Crooked Clinton by 1 point in FL. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/PPP_Release_FL_607161.pdf
Don't jump to conclusions. He might just be a bad guy. Even though I despise Trump, I find myself quite offended on his behalf at your comment. As shown by the VT shooting, Pulse shooting, etc - every now and then they succeed. He had a very real chance of succeeding. To minimize this for political reasons is the height of scummery.
I wasn't trying to imply anything political whatsoever. I was just saying this guy is a nut job. Not sure how you came to your conclusions.
She was shot by her own supporter. Stop that fake crap about Palin. It's already been proven a bunch of crap
You just know the left is anxiously waiting for any incident to happen involving a conservative which they will then use to change the entire narrative throughout the rest of the election cycle.
It's amazing what can be proven not true when those of influence choose to do so. Palin should have been indicted and served time, and so should some other Republicans. Too bad; it would have made some of them behave themselves instead of getting in Trump's way during this campaign.
Most people wish no physical harm on others regardless of your seeming belief otherwise. Those that do, run the political spectrum left and right.
THE CLIMATE OF HATE CREATED BY HILLARY, BERNIE, AND THEIR MEDIA LACKEYS, practically accomplices to a -year-old man tried to kill Trump at Las Vegas rally. “A federal officer confirmed Monday that the man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas on Saturday had tried to steal an officer’s gun to kill the presumptive GOP nominee.” When you keep comparing a candidate to Hitler, you incite attempted murder. We should have a conversation about the hate speech the Left is directing at the presumptive GOP nominee.
The guy is obviously a kook and needs professional help. Thank god no one was injured during the attempt.
