According to Reuters, an unidentified man jumped on the stage and pointed a gun at Ahmed Dogan, the leader of Bulgaria’s Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) party, during the televised party congress in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is not clear why the man targeted Dogan, who is 58-years-old and has led the party for close to 25 years. Police said that the attacker was 25-years-old and was also carrying two knives.

GonzoMcFonzo 3 months agoA couple of observations:
1. It looks like it wasn’t the safety, but rather that he didn’t have a round in the chamber. See how he grabs the top of the gun with his left hand when it won’t fire? He’s trying to pull back the slide.
2. He was wearing what appear to be the same credentials as everybody else there. -

astridf 3 months agoIf this was fake and staged as people are saying, do you think they just didn’t figure that the everyone in the audience was going to take turns kicking the guy in the face? Seems more likely the guy was just a nut trying to make a statement. And what better defense than “Hey, I wasn’t REALLY trying to kill him!”
