How can that be. He could of tried to commit suicide in public or shoot someone else. Trying to get a firearm and failing doesn't show anything about what would have happened concerning Trump..

It's amazing that after all the violence we've seen from the left this election, the media sees the GOP as the violent ones. I'm pretty sure all the Hillary supporters out there don't worry about getting beat up or having their property defaced because of their support for Hillary. However, Trump supporters can't say the same. I'm baffled by this alternate reality created by the media and that people actually believe it.
CNN did the same a few days ago, blaming the firebombing on "Trump's rhetoric", or people who draw Mohammad for the violence perpetrated by Muslims. The same goes for left wing mobs who were beating up Trump supporters in San Jose. The San Jose Mayor blamed Trump for coming to their city.
It's just more proof of the corruption and collusion between the press and the Democrat party.
You might have believed it, but you'd be wrong anyway.

I have believed this for a long time...that the far left mindset is a kind of mental illness. It is borderline mass psychosis on a level that is incomprehensible.
We now know that people were paid by Hillary Clinton's people to create violence at Trump rallies. It is on video! Yet, somehow the violence is Trump's fault. Mental illness, I tell 'ya!
Psychological insights might tone down the bitter feuding between Democrats and Republicans
According to the experts who study political leanings, liberals and conservatives do not just see things differently.
They are different—in their personalities and even their unconscious reactions to the world around them.
For example, in a study published in January, a team led by psychologist Michael Dodd and political scientist John Hibbing of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln found that when viewing a collage of photographs, conservatives' eyes unconsciously lingered 15 percent longer on repellent images, such as car wrecks and excrement—suggesting that conservatives are more attuned than liberals to assessing potential threats.
Meanwhile examining the contents of 76 college students' bedrooms, as one group did in a 2008 study, revealed that conservatives possessed more cleaning and organizational items, such as ironing boards and calendars, confirmation that they are orderly and self-disciplined.
Liberals owned more books and travel-related memorabilia, which conforms with previous research suggesting that they are open and novelty-seeking.
“These are not superficial differences. They are psychologically deep,” says psychologist John Jost of New York University, a co-author of the bedroom study. “My hunch is that the capacity to organize the political world into left or right may be a part of human nature.”

Let's be real about the "assassination attempt" at least ...
A British citizen, attending a Trump rally, tried to pull a LEOs side arm from his holster and was stopped.
That is not anything approaching an "assassination attempt"...
Trump hasn't even tweeted about it; that's how much of a non-story it is.

Fine. You can call it an attempt. There was never, at any time, the wherewithal on the part of the perpetrator to perform the act of assassination

Where is it written that you can't be both a victim of violence and also violent?
You have 2 groups living up to the old saying of "live by the sword die by the sword" why are you trying to make it seem like only one is violent?

The vast majority of violence we've seen has been from Democrats, so why isn't the story about them? Can you point me to a single story from the MSM about violent Democrats?

That's not what people are doing. If it were, then it wouldn't be so one sided.
Here's my issue. Everything is being done by media, etc, to diminish the actions of one side, while blowing the other side out of proportion.
Things have gone far past the point where "understanding" is an acceptable push. There's so much understanding being pushed for one side, while any attempt at understanding at the other side is... it's way beyond unbalanced to the point where it's no longer promoting understanding of said actions but has moved into actively protecting and making allowances for and in many cases promoting said actions by demonstrating a lack of real admonishment of it.

Both sides have these kinds of fears. One however is acting on it far more violently than the other and is being protected from ridicule and derision, while the other is being derided and attacked for far less.
