LAS VEGAS (AP) — 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....

They had to arrest him on the spot by using the "act of violence" charge.

The attempted murder charge (for which they had no warrant or evidence, only his words) will come while he's in jail.

Hang him high!

This is the end result of liberals being allowed to brand themselves as “good” and “love” and peace.
The opposition is thus evil, haters, war.
That makes the Republican leadership crazy, immoral, evil, hateful warmongering Hitlers/insert-dictator-name here.

That the media readily compares Trump to Hitler, too, gives the lie strength - it is really good marketing, but the end result is that there are millions who think Trump is the Anti-Christ and moral to try to kill.

And his followers are thus attacked, too.

Trump supporters were ‘running for their lives’ after San Jose rally, police report says

That’s true.

But Trump previously financially supported the people that encouraged those attacks. People like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton and Bill ThefakeItalianInNewYork.

Whereas I supported guys like Alan Keyes. So it’s important to not say “My candidate is perfect” but to say “I will vote for the best candidate whether it be Mitt Romney or Donald Trump”.
I will vote for the Republican nominee. I will take my ball and go home if it isn’t Trump.

Why no attempted murder charges I wonder?

I wonder about that also...that’s the whole reason he was there, that’s the whole reason he tried to get the gun from the cop...he wasn’t there to shake Trump’s hand!!!
