A radical progressive liberal who tried to shoot and assassinate Donald Trump in Las Vegas in June gets only one year in prison. The leftist faced up to twenty years in prison. That must have been some helluva plea-bargain to go from a maximum of 20 years to just one.

A British man was sentenced to a year in prison Tuesday for grabbing a police officer’s gun in an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, according to Wednesday reports.
Michael Sandford, now 20, reached for the firearm during a rally in Las Vegas in June when Trump was not yet president-elect, The Telegraph said.
Sandford, who has autism, was sentenced at a federal court in Las Vegas and had been facing up to 20 years in prison prior to his guilty plea. His lawyers have said he suffers from mental illness and was experiencing a psychotic episode during the incident.
Judge James Mahan on Tuesday told Sanford during his sentencing that the British man has “a medical problem.”
“You should not be ashamed or embarrassed about it,” he told Sanford. “You need medication. You’re not a hardened criminal. You’re not evil or sociopathic like a lot of people we have. I don’t think you wanted to kill anybody. This was just some crazy stunt that your mind told you to do.”
The Telegraph added that Lynne Sanford, Michael Sanford’s mother, has asked that he obtain permission to serve his sentence in the U.K. so he has access to all necessary psychiatric help.
Well it’s obvious he suffers from a serious mental illness. Liberalism is a serious mental disorder.
