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.

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.

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.

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

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'.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
