Dallas Shooting Suspect Wanted To Bring Gun To Trump Protest Rally, Civil Rights Leader Says

Three weeks before Micah Xavier Johnson opened fire on Dallas police, he offered to work security for protesters outside a Donald Trump appearance in Dallas. Organizers said “no way” – because Johnson wanted to bring a gun.

Rev. Peter Johnson is a longtime Dallas civil rights activist – and no relation to the suspected shooter. Johnson has led marches for decades, going back to his years with Martin Luther King Jr. He’s lived by King’s ethos of non-violence.

Johnson was helping plan the June rally against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee when a man named Micah Xavier Johnson appeared.

“Young man comes and says 'I’m going to participate, I want to help, but I want to bring my gun,'” Johnson recalls. “I say 'Hell no; you can’t bring your gun.' That’s all I remember about him. I told him you can’t bring your gun to a protest that I’m involved in.”

Through the years, Johnson has seen death and violence visited on friends and colleagues by people using guns.

“This pathologic affair that America has with guns, we’re the laughing stock of the world because of this," Johnson says.

At the march against Trump, one man was arrested, another hit by a thrown rock. Otherwise, the protest was peaceful. So was Thursday’s march through downtown Dallas, until Micah Johnson appeared.

hmm....this report may lend weight to the report below

ping to 8 minute video.

The caller speaking in the video talked to the person in question at the Trump rally in Denver for 20-30 minutes; says he is certain he is Micah Johnson, who was wearing a black blm T-shirt; the caller’s son confirmed when shown one of the stock MSM photos of Micah Johnson.

Sorry chief! We're the "laughing stock of the world" because of the pathological affairs we're having with men marrying men, transgender toilets, Islam "the religion of peace" and a electing a psychopath to the presidency who is obsessed with traveling the world, badmouthing Americans and apologizing for all of the 'evil' white Americans have brought upon the world.

Is the shooter still a suspect? I thought he was dead.

So this breaking news that this black terrorist wanted to assassinate Donald Trump opens up the truth behind a couple of peripheral details to this terrorist attack:

(1) We knew Johnson had a beef with a protest group. But it wasn’t BLM, whose far left leaders are terrorists with an agenda to corral police into one area under the guise of protest so that the police can easily be violently attacked, maimed, acid thrown in their eyes, shot, bombed (that is next), etc.. It was this very protest group which is not a terrorist group that the black terrorist had a beef with when he was told he could NOT sign up as security for the anti-Trump protest and thereby assassinate Trump.

(2) This black terrorist was obviously inspired by the lies, false narratives, rhetoric of Obama, Hillary and the “Stop Trump” Republican establishment and their toadies in the media who paint Trump as an evil white racists and thus annoint Jeb Bush, these Trump haters with their lies such as Karl Rove, Jeb Bush, Obama, Hillary and others inspired this black terrorist to kill Trump.

I hope Trump and his secret service people are extra diligent, the left has become extremely violent and completely mentally unhinged. no telling what they’ll do anymore.

1. Please clarify. I thought that the murderer clearly disapproved of BLM.

2. Are you really laying blame at the feet of STOP TRUMP activists?? Do you think that the murderer read The National Review or cares?
