Gromdor Posted June 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Granted it was a pretty botched attempt: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/06/21/man-tried-to-grab-cops-gun-to-kill-trump-at-las-vegas-rally-authorities-say.html?intcmp=hpbt2 http://beta.theladbible.com/news/politics-british-man-tried-to-kill-donald-trump-at-rally-police-say-20160621 What the Fox article forgets to add is that Michael Steven Sanford is here illegally from the UK (he flew in and overstayed his visa).

Claire. Posted June 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Trump really has a way of p***ing people off lol. And then there was that whole thing in the UK about banning him from there.. which was just nuts. I don't get why people get so emotional about politics. If they thought more with their heads they might force some of the loser politicians to step up their game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A botched attempt from a Muslim or a Mexican would have been a serious boon to his rhetoric. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted June 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2016 What was the motivation behind this Mr Sanford wanting to kill Mr Trump? The news media does not appear to be delving into this question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly what we lack at this point is media speculation. Must be that the guy does not fit the pattern they work with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted June 21, 2016 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2016 What a stupid way to waste your life. Just what are his long term expectations even if he was successful? Maybe he thought Hilary would pardon him? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, from the admittedly scant news, he is nonetheless reported to have said to the Secret Service; 1) To kill Trump by a gun, forcefully lifted from in-house police/security. 2) Expectation of firing 1-2 shots at best, before... 3) Expectation of a lethal response by security. Apparently this dude felt that his assassination actions would likely result in his own death. And was OK with that, apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read he'd attempted suicide before, so maybe he just decide suicide by cop was his best bet, and reckoned offing Trump the best way to persuade them to start shooting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
