"Apparently" some people really don't want trump alive. That much is "apparent"

[HanzBlitz-it]

Media is to blame. They call everything they don't like a threat.

Imagine the secret service being able to spot a black rifle barrel but cant spot a whole ass kid climbing on a roof with a rifle..crazy

[Vandean-ot]

When you say 'apparent assassination attempt' what you're saying is 'a mostly peaceful assassination attempt'?

ABC probably hating that the guy wasn't able to get it done

[snowrose]

Need to interview the suspect AND the witness that reported him. Check both their backgrounds and bank accounts. The entire thing sounds fishy.

THE SLOPE RATING OF THE GOLF COURSE MADE THIS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE SECRET SERVICE!!

[KC-fbql]

When you call a man Hitler and an “existential threat” for years…

[warhorsesand]

The hate here is unbelievable- we will forever be divided. I do not see this nation healing.

[spoman]

The world would be mentally healthier and a peaceful place if place if the mainstream media actually did their job honestly. The biases reporting is crazy.

[quackanatorquackson]

As a democrat, this is disgusting, politics should never involve violence, especially not an assassination attempt

[justine]

Abc has dirt on hands now. Last debate was despicable. Their bias and unprofessionalism is outrageous.

[bobcaddock]

A lot of comments that think this was staged. It must have looked pretty real to the secret service guy who fired at the suspect.

[stevepitzing]

BREAKING Suspect shoots himself twice in back of head.

[kenifrumkin]

wtf is going on? this is not normal...

[killjoytheclown]

Please leave this man alone. Trump you got my support

[georgegordner]

I'm not voting for Trump, but I wish him no harm. This is so wrong, they got the suspect, thank you FBI and Secret Service.

[jenniferbowie]

Abc is the last people that needs to report on this! It’s most likely their fault

[ELV]

How did this bum know Trump would be at a golf course?
He had a flak on, weapon and camera ready to record.
