FOREIGNER ARRESTED – Tried to KILL DONALD TRUMP at Vegas Rally
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 20, 2016 | Jim Hoft

Anti-Trump protester Michael Sandford was arrested Saturday at Donald Trump’s Las Vegas rally at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino.

Sandford tried to grab a cop’s gun.....

A federal officer says 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.

A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds.

It cites a report by Special Agent Swierkowski, whose first name was not included, saying Sandford told officers he drove from California to kill Trump and went to a Las Vegas gun range the day before to learn to shoot.

Sandford later went to a Trump rally 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.

Get a copy of the DVD from “Time Machine”

I went to that show; flat LOVED it; hadn’t seen them since “Grace Under Pressure” and REALLY was impressed.

Also, if you want a true sense of who these guys really are at heart:

> Sadly this crazed individuals plan was simple and asymmetrical and he tried to put it in motion.

I can’t help but think how this POS was willing to die to accomplish the biggest injustice in history. Had he planned more, or just gotten lucky with this move before he could be stopped, what a world of hurt we would be in right about now. I would like to know how far away from Trump this incident went down. I really am loosing sleep worrying what I will read in the morning headlines. This report is so very troubling. Praying for Trump’s safety daily.

Great song. Have greatest hits in my car.

Seriously, how are these SS guys? They are honorable, right? Wouldn’t take orders from the administration to “miss” a guy with a gun, or not check someone suspicious?

I cant imagine. Just askin.

We are truly in 1984. An actual assassination attempt on a presidential candidate. No mention on CNN. Buried on the third page of items on ABC. And not even the top headline on Fox. And had this happened to Clinton?

There was no assassination attempt. He was arrested for trying to grab a cop’s gun and later when interviewed said he was going to attempt an assassination.

I give you points for spelling on that last, though the punctuation was bad.

Quote: “Although Donald Trump is protected by the Secret Service, Politico reports that Trump has his own “mercenary force” that has employed aggressive tactics to stop protesters during his rallies. These private security officers have been seen wearing street clothes, just keeping an eye out for protesters.”

(Please.)

“2. He arrived in the U.S., bought a BMW, and drove from Hoboken, New Jersey, to southern California. Why to southern California? Was there someone or some group there that was supporting him in this endeavor?”

Maybe trying to validate is washed up hippie/radical/loser parents...!!!

I think he needs to fire them, if it is true which I doubt it is, as I haven’t seen any evidence of them stepping into save many of those being harassed and even attacked by protestors.
