This can never happen again

Hmm,don't be too sure about it ! Attempts might have been made on President Trump's life if the crisis that erupted shortly after the presidential elections lingered on for just few more days. Remember,guns were already on the streets and in wrong hands !

The president had just finished addressing a labor meeting at the Washington Hilton Hotel and was walking with his entourage to his limousine when Hinckley, standing among a group of reporters, fired six shots at the president, hitting Reagan and three of his attendants. 
White House Press Secretary James Brady was shot in the head and critically wounded,
Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy was shot in the side, and District of Columbia policeman Thomas Delahanty was shot in the neck.
After firing the shots, Hinckley was overpowered and pinned against a wall, and President Reagan, apparently unaware that he’d been shot, was shoved into his limousine by a Secret Service agent and rushed to the hospital.

So Reason of insanity for comitting murder like this was allowed for before. And was removed as defense in court because a murder attempt was made against the President of USA. If it did not happen the law will still stand today. And if this incident happened against other unfortunate world leaders those countries will be tagged lawless by the US if they sentence the murderers to death
i tried my best to understand but I must confess your post lacks an iota of sense. Complete nonsense

I don't wish Buhari death but it would have been better he also gets shot perhaps on his legs so that he'll feel the pains of the families of numerous protesters and self-determination crusaders he ordered his soldiers to torture, dehumanize, shoot and kill

Don't worry too much he will shot on his farm by a Fulani herders, after his tenure.

What amazed me about this drama over the years was the way the ss agents threw themselves in the hail of bullets to save the president....

If it was here or other developing countries, that shooter would have been shot dead immediately.
