Assassination attempts are not major news stories because the Secret Service, news organizations, and whoever is president do not want to give nuts any ideas or encouragement.

But it's not hard to find out about them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assass...t_Barack_Obama

You are willfully blind if you think that presidential assassination threats are only directed to "conservative" presidents by "liberal" nuts.

Quote marks are because I think that many of these nuts are motivated primarily by their own delusions, and not by what most of us would consider politics.

It is terrible to think that those who preach tolerance are this hateful.

I find myself praying for the Trump family for protection.

Donald Trump has stepped up for the American people and this is how they treat him. I know what haters can do. After all they nailed Jesus to the cross and he was perfect trying to save an imperfect human race.
Hearsay is always a solid basis for a thread

SS does not disclose active death threats so the source of your information is mistaken.

All past, present and future presidents and their families get threats. Some are credible and some are noise.

Did you pray for Obama and his family?

Melania often looks like a deer caught in the headlights. Don't think anything can prepare an elect family for the ensuing 4-8 years of living in a fishbowl and being despised by so many people. Does not matter who or party.

What special force, no more than any other president got. Wow, if many Christians believe Trump was sent by god then they are very misguided. And we should all know for a fact that God didn't give us Trump. Many the devil did. lol But certainly not God because he is all loving. Trump is a narcissist who only loves himself.

Trump has many democrats and independents supporting him. It is the crazy left that is the big problem with hate and that includes those who drink in the hateful propaganda from the left.
Trump is no different than any other, with the exception of openly mocking anyone that opposed him after the election including wishing Happy New Year to his enemies and apparently creating a list of those who opposed him. Trump appears to be uniquely vengeful, but his stated goal is no different than the stated goal of any other president. He is not being targeted any more than any other president.

Who said what was justified?

Cite your sources, please.

Every POTUS has to deal with the crazies.

Some have even managed to get shot by the nut jobs.

And they were white...so, do go on...

... Well not since 2009 at least, when 400,000 people attended.

It'll be interesting to see what types of crowds show up tomorrow, considering 2 days ago people were "pouring into Washington in record numbers." Maybe the thousands of "bikers for Trump" that are driving from all over the country just haven't shown up yet?
There are 472 rooms available on Travelocity right now, and another 245 on Priceline. This is probably going to be the smallest turnout for an inauguration in decades. With the incoming president's approval ratings in the mid-30s it's clear no one wants to be there.

yes I did pray. This would have definitely divided our country for many many years. If something tragic happened the repercussions would have been enormous and it would be a huge stain on our country .

Obama was the most left senator there was in Congress. His idealogy was the worst. Doesn't mean you want him dead . That is crazy! That is why the left is so out of bounds now.

We did not protest . Sure there are crazies out there . But the crazies of the left are huge in number and very vocal about their hate...they preach hate and it is accepted daily on CNN and MSNBC. I don't hear anyone saying calm down . Not even Obama.

Trump is saying Obama and Michelle are wonderfully kind to him. No hate.

Is it true only 10,000 came tonight? With a crowd that small, it doesn't sound like there was much of a threat.

With President Obama the hate just came from Fox, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Drudge Report, New York Post, Coulter, Ingraham, Glenn Beck, etc. And it was Trump that spent YEARS saying President Obama was not born in this country into every microphone he could find. President Obama has been pure class toward Trump by comparison.
