It was before I was alive, but I’m guessing no one gave much of a fuck when Sarah Jane Moore completely failed to assassinate Gerald Ford. Especially when Squeaky Fromme did the same thing two weeks earlier and was a Manson girl, so I’m guessing she stole most of the spotlight.
Plus, Moore was totally inept.
She was standing in the crowd across the street from the St. Francis Hotel, and she was about 40 feet (12 m) away from Ford[12] when she fired a single shot at him with a .38 caliber revolver.[2] She was using a gun which she bought in haste that same morning and as a result, she did not know that the sights were 15 cm (6 inches) off the point-of-impact at that distance, and as a result, she narrowly missed.[13]
After realizing that she had missed, Moore raised her arm again, and Oliver Sipple, a former Marine, dove toward her and grabbed her arm, possibly saving Ford’s life
I wanted to see how many assassination attempts needed to happen for Trump to have the most. I thought 4 would do it after getting past Lincoln, who had 3.
“I’m sorry for the offensive language. That’s all it was. It does get me upset when I listen to the news and they attack President Donald Trump. He’s a good person and he’s done a lot for this country and the veterans.” After his sentencing, Grant C. Jaquith, the United States attorney for the Northern District of New York, said in a statement, “Racist threats to kill present and former public officials are not protected free speech, but serious crimes.”
I think many of us, and many Important People, give a fuck. It’s just that we know to take our time and gather information before making any strong proclamations about exactly what happened. We all know that Trump would lie about everything, and initial reports from police and neighbors are notoriously unreliable.
Finally now, more than a day after the event, it feels like maybe we’re able to put together the beginning of a reliable picture about exactly what happened.
If you want to know how people feel about assassination attempts on presidential candidates, just look at what they said two months ago.
Never have I seen so few fucks given over assassination attempts.

It’s not even really clear why she did it other than being a complete nutbag.
According to this we have, but didn’t know it.

Apparently Obama had 11 attempts on his life.

Don’t you dare. It doesn’t work if you change in the middle of the process.

You know how it rains when you’re camping?
His fans think he’s under protection from God, and everyone else would respond somewhere between relieved and elated.
Tis a puzzlement, no?
