Arrested Briton tried to kill Donald Trump at a rally

"A Briton who tried to grab a police officer's gun at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas said he wanted to shoot the US candidate, court papers say.
Michael Steven Sandford, 20, did not enter a plea when he appeared before a judge in Nevada and was remanded in custody until a hearing on 5 July.
He is charged with an act of violence "on restricted grounds".

He had reportedly tried to seize the gun after saying he was seeking Mr Trump's autograph at Saturday's rally."

These leftists and socialists are out of control. Yet another example of your typical leftist resorting to Nazi style techniques to try and silence opposition.

Hopefully a full investigation of leftist organisations will follow.

Hopefully will Trump not be mad on the British and ban their entrance in the US. UK is exporting SJW/leftist maniacs to the US.

We are also exporting them to Northern France.
This could become serious

I used to despise the right and Donald but now I'm like whatever let the dude have his turn at doing stuff, he might actually get some results, if he isn't prematurely assassinated by one of us crazy righteous socialists, if I can call myself that anymore

It was one mentally ill individual doing something. How does this reflect any more on "socialists" than the Jo Cox killer on the far right?

That said, Trump is very dangerous. You can go on about the importance of democracy, but democracy put Hitler in power. It's not really hard to understand why some people act like this when the whole world seems to be making the same mistakes again.

Is there some Anglo-Saxon leftist here to comment this case?

Because violent would-be assassins and thugs prefer her to Trump? You can't say Trump is the problem if someone else tried to kill him.

Anybody who compares Trump to Hitler can automatically be considered uneducated.

As Trump supports are more law abiding than leftists, Trump supporters often chant "blue lives matter" and support police, leftists attack them and destroy police cars.

Some people see Trump as a figure of ridicule, but in my opinion he is the only man to lead the US

Not really. Trump has suggested doing to Muslims what Hitler did to the Jews. He wanted them to wear something to identify them as Muslims for **** sake. He's exploiting tensions to gain power, and dehumanising a whole class of people.

You have to be really ignorant to not see why people compare them, or just determined to bury your head.

No, its all Trump's fault for his divisive rallies, remember?

If he weren't such an intolerant racist, they wouldn't all be trying to kill him for his views :rolleyes:



You and the likes seem to have no issue with pinning the blame on certain people for the rise of the 'far-right'.
Works both ways darling.

History is repeating itself, and if its anything to go by these guys will end up losing and will be looked back at in the same way we look at the NAZIs now.
