Man tried to grab gun and kill Donald Trump at Vegas rally. - Polidicks

[thumb]http://regated.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/ptcO4M.jpg[/thumb] [QUOTE]LAS VEGAS (AP) — 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, according to federal authorities. A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He’s expected to appear in court on Monday afternoon. 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 grabbed the handle of an officer’s gun in an attempt to remove it, and was arrested. 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.[/QUOTE] Story is about 20 minutes old, but there's pictures.

Damn,shit just got real.

You cannot upholster a cops gun

Fucking dumbass.

Retard just destroyed his life trying to kill someone who is not even going to become president anyway.

What a stupid moron. Not very smart if you were planning it for a whole year and failed at the part you should have prepared the most for. How can you even get so butthurt at a candidate you don't like that you ponder assassinating them?

Could you imagine if it worked, though? We haven't had a major assassination like that in the US in a while.

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;50557345]Could you imagine if it worked, though? We haven't had a major assassination like that in the US in a while.[/QUOTE] Or imagine if he missed and killed someone in the crowd...

What a dipshit. And how ironic, as his failed attempt might have stoked the flames even more, giving Trump more points in the eyes of his voters.

[QUOTE=FetusFondler;50557338]How can you even get so butthurt at a candidate you don't like that you ponder assassinating them?[/QUOTE] Presidents and presidential candidates have been assassinated or have had attempts made on their lives several times. Lincoln, McKinley, Roosevelt, JFK, George Wallace, Reagan, all those guys were shot.

He's from the UK apparently, they found a UK driver's license on him

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50557336]Retard just destroyed his life trying to kill someone who is not even going to become president anyway.[/QUOTE] If that was such a certainty, this guy wouldn't have tried something like this. There wouldn't be violent protests at Trump rallies.

I wonder if there's a video of the Secret Service swarming his ass.

It's pretty fucked that violence seems to be an acceptable form of political discourse for so many people in the world.

[QUOTE=Dr._Medic;50557364]He's from the UK apparently, they found a UK driver's license on him[/QUOTE] no wonder he didn't know how holsters work

[QUOTE=Kljunas;50557397]Now I'm not advocating for assassination but obviously Trump being president would have consequences beyond just being someone he doesn't like.[/QUOTE] So what, is that an excuse to attempt an assassination? Are you gonna do that to every candidate that's not on "your side"? Just do the reasonable thing and posts threats on twitter about leaving to Canada that you won't actually act upon if the candidate you don't like is elected

Haha, a year of planning to essentially wing it and try to steal a gun, way to go.

Why is it always just Trump lately though? I mean yeah a lot of shit he says is stupid but still, the amount of incidents he's been in seems absurdly high.

[QUOTE=Spacewolf;50557423]Haha, a year of planning to essentially wing it and try to steal a gun, way to go.[/QUOTE] And a harsh training regime consisting of shooting 20 rounds from a Glock every day, spanning over one (1) day.

[QUOTE=FetusFondler;50557366]If that was such a certainty, this guy wouldn't have tried something like this. There wouldn't be violent protests at Trump rallies.[/QUOTE] no it's still pretty likely he won't be president, the violent ones are just really really stupid

[QUOTE=1legmidget;50557389]It's pretty fucked that violence seems to be an acceptable form of political discourse for so many people in the world.[/QUOTE] It's been that way since the Anarchists. Well, it's been that way since politics, but the Anarchists were the first time you really got people killing political figures without gaining anything out of it.

[QUOTE=Cone;50557453]no it's still pretty likely he won't be president, the violent ones are just really really stupid[/QUOTE] It was "pretty likely" that Trump wouldn't be the Republican candidate. I remember the threads early in the election just fine. Look at it now.

We should be putting media outlets to task for outright endorsing political violence regarding this election. I can only see this getting worse in the coming months.

What did he honestly think was going to happen if he tried to take a cop's gun out of its holster? You would quite literally need to be a special forces operator of some sort to accomplish this plan.

[QUOTE=FetusFondler;50557507]It was "pretty likely" that Trump wouldn't be the Republican candidate. I remember the threads early in the election just fine. Look at it now.[/QUOTE] the GOP doesn't have a huge, African American/Hispanic electorate, And most votes were against Donald Trump.

[QUOTE=Cone;50557453]no it's still pretty likely he won't be president, the violent ones are just really really stupid[/QUOTE] The violent ones make Trump more appealing with every "protest".

[quote]Sandford told officers he had been planning an assassination for about a year and was convinced he would die in the attempt.[/quote] How shit are you at assassination if your plan after a year is "Steal a cops gun out of the holster"?

So what? I'm sure Trump had a gun with himself for defense.... :downs:

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50557336]Retard just destroyed his life trying to kill someone who is not even going to become president anyway.[/QUOTE] um, how do you know this itès best not to get cocky especially for this election
