Violence at the rallies?

[linderlizzie]

What and who do you think is the cause of the violence at the political rallies? 

Are we doomed to a season of political unrest and violence? What a shame.

At Trump's almost-rally in Chicago, the unrest is the result of good people taking to arms to defend themselves against a despicable man with despicable politics. The idea that he even tried to hold a rally in a city primarily African-American and Latino whilst preaching for the latter to be deported boggles my mind even now.

Donald Trump is a complete and utter moron. He really needs to bow out of the race lest he become victim of the vitriolic rhetoric that he likes to spew.

I just don't understand why all this violence is happening - why can't we all just get along??

I didn't realize that Trump had actually ambushed the guy and was physically attacking him! For in order for "good people" to take up arms to "defend themselves", Trump would have had to have done just as I said. Unfortunately in reality, we had a US citizen that was attacked when holding a legal assembly (legal in the sense that proper permits were obtained) and was making a speech at said assembly. It is very scary if you think that physical violence is a justified response against any speech that some other person finds objectionable. Yet this seems to be the frame of mind of many as evidenced by the riots throughout last few years. The entire purpose of the 1st Amendment was to protect speech that may be controversial and / or outright objectionable to others. It is NOT up to some protestor to "protect" our nation from a candidate that they feel would harm the country from what they have said by inciting physical violence.

By the same token, all of this indicates why I feel that Trump would also not make a good president. Trump too has made comments that would support using physical violence against others that don't agree with him; he has even said that he'd pay for any legal fees if doing said violence would get the person arrested. Also, just as the protestor's goal was to stifle free speech, Trump has also made statements suggesting that he too supports stifling other's free speech by saying he wants to weaken libel laws to make it easier to sue others that make damaging remarks (regardless of whether what was said was indeed true).

Trumps idea of free speech is shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater. 
Inciting violence is NOT exercising your right to freedom of speech.

Don'cha know? Millions and millions of African-Americans and Hispanics love him. They just love him. Guess that's why BLM and a lot of Hispanics are protesting outside his rallies.

The threats to his family, though, is despicable. I don't know who would do that if they hate Trump so much and it's odd that they threaten family members instead of him.

I  think Trump is causing the unrest himself, especially since he offered to pay for the defense of anyone who punches a protester out.  Now he says if he isn't the nominee, there's liable to be riots...I think that's more than a thought. I think he's suggesting it to happen. After all, violence at his rallies didn't start until he told his crowds that he'd  "punch the guy out."

Through it all, some people are sooooo wrapped up in believing everything this guy says that it's destroying friendships.

Although I agree that some of his rhetoric does indeed promote violence, I don't think that his comment about riots happening if he doesn't get the nomination is meant to suggest that it should happen, but is more a statement on the nomination process itself.... Basically were he to win the primary elections but the party decided to change the rules at the convention so that he doesn't get nominated by the party, it would be seen as a slap in the face to anyone that voted in the primary (whether they voted for Trump) for it would be the party essentially saying that they won't listen to the base, but rather are going out on their own. It is the same frustration that Bernie Sanders supporters feel when his primary votes are very favorable, but the super-delegates throw their votes towards Clinton instead; it becomes more the party than the party's base that decide for a particular candidate.

The idea that someone promoting disgusting racist and near-fascist rhetoric should be allowed to speak because "free speech" is an attitude that has poisoned the US for quite some time.

You cannot debate a fascist. You cannot debate someone who refuses to acknowledge your humanity. You can only defend yourself.

Hello everyone out there in Fusion Cash World:

I am not too politically savy.   The only thing I remember quite clearly that stands out in my mind about Trump is that he
said in one of his speeches that America needs to either close or guard the boarders more closely.

And then, he talked about deporting the millions of Hispanics who cross over to this country illegally and some of those who have crossed over to this country illegally have had no choice in the matter because there are some Hispanic parents (I heard this on a documentary on tv regarding migration) who have sent their children to cross the border illegally into our country.

From what I understood; the parents hire a coyote  and the coyote then leads groups of families that have uncles, aunts, cousins, and, of course, older, as well as, younger siblings, the coyote leads these groups of families into this country.

And, if all goes well for these families illegally crossing the border; they find refuge from their own relatives and friends already in this country, including  the children, of course.,

But, the sad part of this whole scenario is that then in some cases, the government will step in, for instance, and (as was the case) for a young Hispanic adult woman who had been raised and educated in this country is now told by the
American government,  "Ok, Elena  you are not an American citizen and now the American government must deport you
back to Mexico) 

And, Elena is now in for the fight of her life just to be able to continue to live in this country without the American government harassing her because of her ethnicity.

It's just a total outrage .....because as Elena pointed out to the American government,  "I was a child forced to come to this country by my parents."  !   

 "My parents are dead now."  "And, as far as the Mexican government is concerned, I am not welcomed back into their country.        since they now consider me a pocha  neither white or Hispanic, but I am now a woman without a country

How sad, Trump   How sad!   

Very sad!  And, that's all I have to say!
