If he tried to off Emperor Zero, he’d never have been heard from again in prison.
Looks can be deceiving. According to Heavy.com “5 fast facts about Michael Sanford” He planned this attempt for more than a year, and drove from California to the Treasure Island Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada to get near Trump. Michael also purchased a ticket for Donald Trump’s next speech in Phoenix later that same day in case he missed his chance.
His father in Britain thinks someone has radicalized his son.
It’s likely that this young man is on a ‘No Fly’ list from now on. At least I would hope so. As far as Michael is privately concerned; his ‘work’ is not yet done.
>> “You should not be ashamed or embarrassed about [your condition],” the judge told Sandford during his sentencing. “You need medication. You’re not a hardened criminal. You’re not evil or a sociopath like a lot of people we have.”
Well, isn’t that sweet?
This twerp's future activities must be watched very carefully.

The banality of evil
The Gentle Giant (also named Michael) tried to grab a cop's gun, and it didn't work out well for him. She should be glad her son is still alive.
Lynne Sandford told the BBC that her son "had been frequently put on suicide watch in prison and claimed Trump-supporting guards and inmates had been making his life a misery."
My sympathies go out to the cop. Every night he probably wakes in the early hours in a cold sweat - what might have happened. A life sentence for him if not for the perp.
Have the parents of this freak apologized? I haven’t seen that in the papers. I generally don’t read the Mail because of pop-ups. Those parents were the ones who belonged in jail.
Scrawny thing. Most of the women I’ve dated weighed more than that.
A 13 year old autistic boy stabbed his mother to death in California this week.
That ought to teach the Limey bastard to come here to spread his evil on "this side of the pond." Note to all British evil-doers: "This side of the pond" will put a bullet in your ass, it's the 'Merican way. And don't forget it, 'cuz we'll also poke your eyes out...

According to his father, Michael had been in the US for about a year and 3 months. He moved here because while still in the U.K. he had met an American girl, had some sort of relationship with her, and became depressed when she returned to the US. So his parents paid for him to come here, and evidently continued to financially support him during his stay.
During the few months leading up to Michael’s attempt on Trump, Michael became more distant to his parents, not saying where he was or revealing much information to them. According to his father, it was very out of character for Michael to have any cares about politics, and even more so for him to become violent. Who was he spending time with leading up to the event that not only gave him a new found interest in either politics or Trump, but changed his alleged non-violent nature to one set upon violence to Trump?
“Hes never shown any violent tendencies before, hes never been a bad person, hes a nice kid and literally wouldnt hurt a fly - he used to tell us not to use fly spray because he didnt want any flies to die.
“Over the last three months it was hard to get any information out of him and he seemed upset, but he wouldnt tell us why.”
Looking back, I dont want to use the term radicalised but we dont know who he has been speaking with - this just isnt him.
Its an absolute shock, hes never been violent in the slightest, hes always been a polite and peaceful boy.
Its totally out of character and were worried about what has happened to him since hes been in America because obviously its a dramatic change.
Whether hes been blackmailed or put up to it, thats the only thing me and his mum can think of. Its so against his nature and obviously with his Aspergers, we think somebody has got hold of him and done something.”
“He has no interest in politics, the world, geography or anything. Hes not a typical teenager because he doesnt drink or smoke or do drugs, hes never had any interest in that.”
He said: He has never mentioned Donald Trump, the reason it is such a shock is because he shows no interest in anything like that.
If I asked him to name the Prime Minister hed be able to tell me but he wouldnt know any other politicians. I doubt he would even know who the President of the United States is.
It will be an outside influence as to why hes done it, hes never been like that and its not something hed do off his own back. Maybe it was a cry for help.”
