I don’t care what side of politics you are on. This is unacceptable for any President or candidate to experience an assassination attempt. We are not a third world country and this is not how we act in this great USA. Prayers for President Trump as he is a very lucky man. Prayers for the other innocent victims that lost their life and those that are fighting for their life tonight. Thank you Secret Service for your rapid response to this awful event. This is a sad day for our country. I am mad and I am sad 😞🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Reading these posts and people saying the country has never been divided or there has not been this type of political violence in this country. There have been at least 12 assignation attempts on president in our history. We are not a third world country, but we need to dial the rhetoric down because there are mentally sick people out there that take this stuff to heart. Not to mention the people who think this shooting was a good thing because of the hate they have for this man. All I can say is take the beam out of your eye before discussing the chip in mine. Here is the history of assination attempts. https://apnews.com/article/presidential-assassinations-lincoln-mckinley-garfield-kennedy-175d046b694ec8b370ba60bf2b001d76
Terri it should not be for anyone but it goes not day in day out. Please remember three innocent bystanders were also victims one has lost their life. Even the one that did this a twenty years can’t be ignored. Not that what he did can be justified but neither can the fact that we continue to ignore the discussion of more scrutiny for gun purchases and more scrutiny for mental health. I am10000% for the second amendment but Iam also for laws that ride above the lobbies. How did a twenty year old have a gun and explosives? Maybe now we will have an honest discussion like first world people that we like to think that we are and shut Alex Jones down from the crap the spew out.
Sorry, but you are a third world country wrapped up in lots of glitter
I don't care what side of politics your on, not following procedures when an assination attempt is in effect jeapordizes law enforcement lives. Completely unacceptable to further risk lives of those that try to protect you.
Why do we need to begin with 'I don't care what side of politics you are on' as if somehow this could be justified. Shows just how low the left have gone. The left have gone way off the deep end...criminal activity with bullets and weaponizing the DOJ...all the same.
Yeah exactly so don't vote for gun rights advocates.
The division in the country has reached a point where the hatred and fear that is promoted by both sides resulted in this travesty. The disagreement over policy and issues has degraded into personal attacks and the villianiazation of the oppposing candidates has created a hatred that that results in violence and hostility. Amazing immediate response bt those secret service agents surrounding former President Trump, and the courage to put their bodies between their charge and the shooter. Having worked many EP details the response was immediate and flawless and I comment these brave agents for their bravery and dedication.
This has nothing to do with security. If a killer is willing to die they can kill anyone. This is obscene that in the greatest country in the world that a candidate has an attempt of assasionation in their life. The election process and dignity of the offices must be respected regardless of what party they are representing
