If We All Agree There Are Many Unhinged People Out There That Own Guns......

what disturbs me is that when the media keeps using words like 'Trump meant assassinate Hillary' or 'Trump meant to kill Hillary' - and those words being repeated over and over by people in the media - they are just continuing to put that thought into the minds of the unhinged.

They are just continuing to put that suggestion out there and further embedding that thought into the psyche of the unhinged. It's borders on 'hidden subliminal messaging' further persuading and triggering some receiver out there to perform.

It's no wonder that the Secret Service would be concerned over Trump's statement.

But it is urgently important that people hear about this. We, as a society, need to condemn Trump and his behaviors as unacceptable in our politics.

from these ginnned-up gun-toting Trump bozos.
They ought to revoke Trump's Secret Service detail
for putting their folks in such danger.
