Northeast Louisiana residents react to Trump rally shooting

MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Many Northeast Louisiana residents have expressed their thoughts following Donald Trump’s Saturday Pennsylvania rally where an assassination attempt was made on his life.

When asked about the shooting, one local said that this violent act shows just how much politics has divided the nation.

“Oh, politics – that’s the main thing for division. You know? I feel like that sparks division. You got the red and the blue, right versus wrong, the evil versus evil versus good, all that.”

One resident who watched the shooting live is blaming those in charge of security.

“When the fundamentals get overlooked, you know that building right there, they should have had someone there on the building. You know there’s no excuse for that.”

However, one local is hoping that everyone will come together as a nation.

“. . . I want to say God bless the situation as a whole. However, though everybody had their own opinion – Mr. Trump has his own beliefs and those who were involved have their own beliefs – so I think the world should just get along and be a better place and try to work together.”
