We never know what its going to be that sets a dangerous and mentally ill person off. Charles Manson heard The White Album, and in his disturbed mind, that was the call he needed to hear to set his murderous rage into action. John Hinckley was inspired by a movie. David Berkowitz was moved to kill by a barking dog.
My point is that there are mentally unstable people out there who dont need a lot of encouragement to turn their fantasies into real life tragedies, and Donald Trump may have spoken loudly and clearly to them today. That is truly dangerous, and like so many things hes said and done it further disqualifies him from holding elected office.

You can't say, that's not what I meant, You can't say it was a joke.
When you are inciting violence and other crimes such as this monster has, you need to suffer the consequences. The media would nail Hillary or any other Democrat to the wall, if they said far less than Don the Con Trump.
