Assassination Attempt

How crazy is this shit.

SOFIA, Bulgaria — Bulgarian police detained a man after he pointed a gas pistol at an ethnic Turkish party leader as he was delivering a speech at a party caucus in the capital Saturday. No shots were fired.

The video from the Saturday event in Sofia shows the man climbing the podium where Ahmed Dogan, the leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, was speaking, and pointing the gun to his face.

Dogan struck the man before he could pull the trigger, while other delegates wrestled the assailant to the ground. TV footage showed several people punching, kicking and stomping on the man when he was on the ground.

Police arrested him and took him to a hospital. It wasn't immediately clear if he sustained serious injuries, or how he got past security to enter the hall with nearly 3,000 people attending.

The way his arm just gets kind of brushed away so easily makes this look really questionable.....

Saw this on the news in Albania, amazing, it's not fake by the way - The Turks are treated like shit in Bulgaria and this guy was speaking out against it, from what I've heard. The (attempted) assassin was a Bulgarian.

I saw that this morning and was like WTF.

I feel like if he really wanted to assassinate him then he would have. More of a political statement than anything else imo.

Honestly, this seems likely.

If you watch it frame by frame, they barely make contact yet the assailant pulls his gun away as if he is scared merely by the thought of getting touched. Getting severely beaten afterwards even when he was immobilized would play well in his favor also...

This^

He could have easily pulled the trigger and he could have kept his arm there after the light brush away he gave him..

Ye he could have killed him he didnt want too, but why do all that if you not going to go thru with it. He should have just shot himself.

He tried to go through with it, but his gun jammed, that's why he panics for a second and as he is backing off he tries to fix the problem.

That's what I assumed, as well as a lot of people in the comments

Felt bad for "killer" when he was on the ground.

The gun looks like a water pistol >_<

yo wat the fuck. so many fuckups in this world. he needs a bullet the stupid piece of shit.

 

[I_DONT_BOT]

All I can say is, is that he needs to be locked away. Intend is nearly as bad as doing it. About the place, assassinations are rather common in Bulgaria, I've heard of a few and my dad (works out there) has been on the same road as one that happened a few years back.

It looks to me like he pulled the trigger, panicked, tried to cock the gun then got tackled.

What a flail of an assassination attempt.
