A British man has been sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison over his attempt to grab a gun in an alleged bid to kill Donald Trump.

Michael Sandford, 20, pleaded guilty in September to being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm and disrupting an official function.

He was accused of grabbing a policeman's gun at a rally in Las Vegas in order to shoot at the candidate.

His mother says "he is remorseful over what he did".

Sandford, from Dorking in Surrey, had faced up to 10 years in prison over the alleged assassination plot.

The court heard that he could be eligible for release in four months' time, at which point he will be deported to the UK.

An illegal alien as well.
And I guess it’s not racist to deport him because he’s white?

Huh? Illegal alien? Must be lacking in diversity.

Was this the event where the secret service rushed Trump off stage?

No.

And BTW, wasn’t thrilled with the response time from the commotion till when Trump was hurried off state.

Dont’ want to be armchair SS though :)

Wish he’d speak behind bulletproof glass.

More concerned about this than an EV coup.

“His mother says “he is remorseful over what he did”

*****

The only thing this fag is remorseful about is that he didn’t complete his objective. Hope he gets the train’ in jail.

A Dork from Dorking.

What makes people do these things? He's got to be mentally ill. No rational person tries to pull a law enforcement officer's gun and shoot the president-to-be.

But then again, he could just be a democRAT....

How about him pleading guilty to being an illegal DORK?

Hey folks, he’s from Dorking and that has got to be what they call the people there.

Now if he was from Porking, he’d been called a sex fiend.

Ah, the British, all ass, no class!

I remember this from months ago, he’s mildly autistic and had come to the US because of a girl he’d met online. His parents were desperately trying to get him back to England, but they got no help. He did it to impress his Occupooper girl crush who apparently wanted nothing to do with him after he came over.

Would it be torture to leave that guy out in the hot sun for a few hours? Gosh is he pigmentally challenged. I didn’t believe in ghosts, but I have changed my mind.
