Where does a scrawny 19 year old come up with the idea that he’s just gonna take the officer’s firearm and then hope to be successful with a shot at a presidential candidate? He even had some sort of distraction (asking for the autograph) planned out as well. I suspect somebody was encouraging him.
I wonder if there was someone waiting in the wings to take the shot from another angle, leaving this guy as the patsy with one bullet fired.
Well maybe not. This guy couldn’t reliably take a gun from my niece, let alone from a trained LEO. This looks like a genuinely amateur attempt.
But there are going to be more.
Maybe he was looking for his ten minutes of fame. It doesn’t make any sense but isn’t that the rule with crazy people. Anyway I hope I am wrong about anyone trying to hurt the Donald.
Or threatened to "out" him.
