Ok sounds sketchy, let me know if this is just a hoax and I will remove the post.

Edit: Ok looks to be real..as more outlets are reporting it.

1. Was on ABC News just a bit ago. n/t

[bonemachine]

2. Here's a CNN link

3. Here's the BBC version

4. It's getting real out here

[Shrike47]

5. I think it happened last Saturday.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. No this one just happened today, could be the 2nd person that tried to kill him

in less than a week.

The first one was a black guy, this one was a white kid.

[auntpurl]

6. Holy shit

Look, I hate literally every single thing about this motherf*cker, but I don't want him DEAD. I really hope this attempted shooter doesn't come out as being a Democrat - I don't want to be associated with violence.

Shooter freely admitted he'd try again if let free - this guy wanted to go to prison, for whatever reason.

Trump will probably get a bump in numbers from this.

[HarmonyRockets]

20. Agreed

Out all candidates, he'd be the one easiest to beat in November. That's why I want him alive.

[adigal]

21. Agreed. I have been thinking Trump should fear the Republicans

more than anyone. I put nothing past those bastards.

[AgadorSparticus]

27. Whoa. That never crossed my mind before. Stranger things happened. 😨

[uppityperson]

7. Happened 2 days ago, and he attempted to pull a police officer's gun from its holster

He didn't get close in any way to shooting him. I am glad they were able to prevent him from shooting anyone.

[MyNameGoesHere]

8. Oh that's too bad.

I am glad the police officer didn't get hurt.

[mwrguy]

9. Trump has his own violent and divisive rhetoric to blame

[John Poet]

10. Better pray for Trump's safety,

or do whatever it is you do, because if anything happens to him and Hillary has to run against some less-batshit-crazy-fascist-Republican instead, could be trouble...

This kind of thing has been in the back of my mind for a while. Trump provokes people.

What's worse is that some of the people who might like to see him 'out of the way' may be the most gun-friendly types... his 'fellow Republicans'.

[Ash_F]

11. This should be condemned.

We don't need the violence to escalate.

[840high]

17. yep

idiot young man

[okasha]

13. According to the BBC story,

the kid's a Brit, in the US illegally, homeless and living in his car. This sounds a whole lot like attempted suicide by cop.

[BlueNoMatterWho]

16. He says he had planned the assassination for a year.

And had even reserved a ticket for Trumps rally the next day in Phoenix as a backup plan

[athena]

24. Will the Republicans now suggest profiling people with British accents? (eom)

[lancer78]

14. Hopefully there is no "Reagan effect" from this n/t

[Tarc]

15. So by Trump Logic, white males needs to be racially profiled now

even ones who are American citizens.

Also, no more white males will be allowed entry to the country.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

19. And those Brits! Should not be allowed in!

[FSogol]

18. Paraphrasing Obama, "Don't Shoot, Vote!

[glennward]

22. So will Trump propose banning British nationals from entering the US?

When asked about the arrest of Michael Sandford, a Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are providing assistance following an arrest of a British national in Las Vegas."

This is the teen who tried to shoot Trump.

[liberalnarb]

25. I seem to remember that same trump saying that you "have to kill the terrorist's familys."

"They say they don't care about the children but they do." The man is a monster. I don't want to see anybody killed, but he is a heartless monster. I can't ever sympathize with someone like that.

[cheapdate]

26. My account was suspended for a week

for not joining in the condemning of the San Jose protesters so I'll just let this pass without comment.

[DemonGoddess]

28. No matter how loathsome

and Trump is certainly loathsome, the person is, we don't want violence.
