‘Furious’ Robert Griffin III demands strict actions against security personnel following assassination attempt on Donald Trump

This Saturday, the U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump survived a brutal assassination attempt on his life while he was giving a speech at his rally. It was his presence of mind that saved him as he ducked behind the podium with three shots fired targeting his head.

Since then, the biggest topic of discussion across the world is Trump’s assassination attempt. People have been coming forward with a hand of support for the former U.S. President, who for the third time, is going to accept the Republican nomination. Many people including Robert Griffin III expressed distress with the incident and demanded strict action against the shooter.

Via a social media post, Griffin III boldly urged people to understand the gravity of the incident, regardless of whether they support Trump or not. He urged the audience to pray for the family of the deceased and asserted that there was “no way in hell” that Trump deserved to be shot at.

Hey man, I don’t care how much you love or hate President Donald Trump. Now is not the time to play politics. Now is the time to pray for Donald Trump, his family, and the family of those who lost someone in the shooting.

The former NFL player called out people claiming that this assassination attempt, where Trump injured his ear and a person lost his life, was staged–claiming that they are forgetting someone died in that shooting.

While talking on the subject, Griffin III also demanded strict actions to be taken against the alleged shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks by the FBI. He said it was the negligence of the police and security that the shooter aimed right at Trump especially since the shooter was said to be just 150 yards away.

There is no way in hell this should have happened. Whoever was in charge of police that day should be gone. Whoever was in charge of the Secret Service should be gone.

Robert Griffin III said

RG3 emphasized that this isn’t a debate about whether Trump deserves to be the President of the U.S.A. or not, but of the simple fact that everyone is entitled to life, and one should never be subjected to losing their life like this, especially at a Presidential rally.
