The British mom and dad of Michael Steven Sandford say they begged the U.S. to help bring their son home. The authorities refused to intervene until the Secret Service arrested him.
LONDON The parents of a young British man who allegedly tried to shoot Donald Trump say they had contacted the U.S. authorities asking for help to bring their vulnerable boy home before he was arrested at a campaign rally in Las Vegas.

If he’s that helpless then how’d he get here? What has he been living on;unicorn gas and fairy toast?
Therein lies a problem that I don't see an answer for.
With that being said, the parents should never have allowed him to come to the U.S. alone at his age and obvious mental problem with no job skills. I suspect the parents are well to do and were funding his stay here........
As for his motivation, I suspect he was influenced by whatever friends he may have had in NJ and the media attacks on Trump.
Based on this kid's mental condition and the futility of his actions, he doesn't belong in prison, he needs to be hospitalized and treated.........
So, video games are the problem??
Wasn’t this already on an X-files? LOL
See? Plausible deniability. Every conservative who believes in personal responsibility (like me) has that reaction and won’t “go there” for fear of (gasp!) blaming video games.
It’s the medium I’m talking about, the vehicle to reach a certain population. It would be the best way for an mkultra-type of program to reach mentally unstable people. What? It’s not exactly like they can walk up, knock on the door of every mentally unstable teenager and say, “ Can Johhny come out and play?” These shooters could be playing online tiddlywinks for all we know. It’s the INTERACTIVE ONLINE component that’s the key.
Obamacare and the fed’s acces to HIPAA mental health records makes it easier to identify the target now. Then if they’re into online gaming,... The perfect target.
Autistic and lovesick:
That all means that when he murders someone, that particular person is not quite as dead.
Are you serious?! Dang! I’ve never watched X Files so I don’t know. I’ve been mentioning it here for a few yrs, though, so maybe I predate their show. Everyone ignores me because it sounds too much like I’m blaming video games. (Video games/Violence is a theory that hasn’t been researched enough to make a connection, IMO).
Execute him, cremate him, and throw the bag of ashes over the wall at the British Embassy.
Donald Trump is Lovesick and Autistic?
Proper English be damned when writing headlines.
You have to wonder why the Embassy didn’t tell them about this new “internet” thing, and suggest they hire a private detective to track down their murderous spawn.
Your source may be better than my source.
Or, better yet, how about, “He was driving a car from the company that makes Rolls Royces.”
When asked why he tried to grab the gun on Saturday, Sandford allegedly told the Secret Service agent: To shoot and kill Trump. The agent also alleges that Sandford said he would try again to kill Trump if he were released from custody. He also had a ticket to Trumps next rally in Phoenix.
Hang him.
That's brilliant. You're absolutely right!
Read 45. Nothing to do with endorphins and everything to do with brainwashing techniques via digital technology. :)
After the CT shooting the news reports quit including the perps’ online hobbies. Coincidence, I’m sure.
Someone finally gets it!
No way to prove it, though, short of FOIA requests, which probably would be [redacted].
How do we counter it? Umm... beats me. I was hoping you had that answer. lol!
Evil, indeed. If you ever have time to waste, search on mkultra and monarch and bluebird and gottlieb and go from there. Evil, evil, evil!
Another story said the father sent him to the US to get his ‘stuff’ together. Seriously? If your kid had these kinds of troubles, would you send him across the pond? Or even across the country?
