Trump holds moment of silence at rally for shooting victims
The Hill ^ | 12/2/2015 | Jonathan Easley

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump began a campaign rally in Northern Virginia on Wednesday night with a brief moment of silence out of respect for the victims of a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif. Trump thanked law enforcement officials for their efforts, saying that "they don't get enough credit."

"You're always going to have some bad apples," Trump said. "But I want to tell you they do one hell of a job and when you see these shootouts, I can tell you one thing -- I don't want to do it, and you don't want to do it."

Trump then asked the crowd to join him in a moment of silence that lasted eight seconds, before he moved on to talk about the support he has from black pastors. Hundreds have gathered at the Prince William County Fairgrounds in Manassas, Va., on Wednesday night to see Trump, who continues to maintain a substantial lead in the polls over his GOP rivals for president.

Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local law enforcement officials in San Bernardino were in the midst of a manhunt for suspects believed to be responsible for shooting and killing at least 14 people and inuring at least 17 others in or around the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino. Police said one suspect had been killed and another wounded, while a third remains on the loose.

He did it just right. He is who he is....a kind, compassionate gentleman who loves his country and the good people that make up the majority.

That will be the media’s spin on Trump’s moment of silence. They will say it wasn’t long enough, and he didn’t keep his eyes closed long enough before opening them several times....

Well, at least he didn’t blame the shootings on the availability of guns like King Putt and Hillary did.

Class act.

Police said one suspect had been killed and another wounded, while a third remains on the loose.

And, apparently, that's all police are saying.

A moment of silence huh? How long will it be, before some commie lib accuses him of trying to push his "religion" on everyone else?

With San Bernardino on the heels of Paris, Trump in on the way to 40% - and every minute that goes by, the putrid, petty little pu$$y Obama looks more pathetic and punkish than ever.

Reminds me of my 3 year old granddaughter. She put me in time out for 5 minutes. Except she didn’t know how long 5 minutes was. I kept telling her it was up. She kept saying....not yet. In disgust....she told me to go...just go.

Police did track them down in short order, assuming they got them all. If not Islamic terrorists, they sure imitated them.
