Yup. People are worried about the sickos coming out to support Trump if he gets the nom come election day, but for a long time I've believed they will be drowned out by the people who go out of their way to vote against him.

Good on the protesters, hope everyone stays safe.

It's absolutely nuts over here. Tons of helicopters and sirens from ambulances and cop cars. The arena never got full, about 1/3 were protesters undercover inside. Thousands more outside. Good shit.

The Orange Dreamsicle Bully was scared a bunch of kids and activists!

someone dumb is going to do something to trump, the security in his events are really weak, it's either people are super passionate for the guy or straight up despise him, sticky situation.

Then they can have private rallies. Trump certainly didn't give two shits about the people assaulted at his rallies. Sorry but this is a product of his bigotry. I only hope more people start doing the same.

So have we finally found the figure that everyone can agree on the vileness of to a degree that we're not seriously dealing with the "protesting speech is censorship" argument?

EDIT: I guess there are still a couple

But i aint mad at it

Based on what? Because? You're choosing order over justice.

Who's justice?
I do not support Trump but I also don't support shutting down any candidates events with mob "justice". We have a process to prevent trump from becoming president. My feelings for trump aside I don't like a precedent for this sort of thing being set. So I guess I would choose Order.

Advocating violence and racism aren't democratic.

For months, Trump has been insulting minorities, racial and otherwise; encouraging his fans to assault people and playing dumb when it happens. Now he finally sees his words have consequences.

And this is a guy claiming he can bring people together.

Holy fuck the reporters

"Wow hate rallies actually get people upset, who would have thought that?"

Media has just as much blood on their hands for giving Trump so much time

THIS!! I can't stress this fact enough!!! the media has been completely at fault of Trump's rise, they basically gave him 24/7 coverage, late night shows actually had him as a guest(fuckin hosted SNL)

now when people get upset about all the shit he said and what has been happening at his campaign rallies now parts of the media is like "OMG how did this happen?" fuck off !!!

Remember when some people said Trump had a chance at winning over the black vote by playing on some kind of resentment for hispanics?

Yeah....

As long as they aren't being violent I don't see the issue. Nothing is technically stopping Trump from giving his hate speeches or shit other than the fear that things might get violent (Though I'd be willing to bet the Trump supporters would be the ones to throw the first punch if that did happen) and the fact that there may not be enough room left for many of his supporters. But since I don't think this is a public event, anyone should be allowed to go, whether they support Trump or not. I think Trump kicking out people from his events simply because they're black, even though they hadn't been protesting at all is a far worse offense. Free speech goes both ways.

As for fueling him, at this point either way is going to fuel him among his own base. Better to make sure more people outside his core base are alienated rather than try to stop him from gaining popularity within his base

And neither is obstructing a Presidential Candidate, that's why I said you fall to his level. All I am saying is that this will probably strengthen him than weaken him, it isn't the right way to stop him.

The order that allows people to be attacked as his rallies? The same order that allows him to spew vitriol and inflame the masses, all while he promises to bail people who do so out with his own money?

It's cool. Us minorities will wait for election night so Trump supporters can stop beating the shit out of us while other people sit in ivory towers talking about order like it means something.

I highly doubt he gives any shits at all. He'll hold a rally elsewhere and spin this in such a way that his supporters will eat it up.

Shut him down. The only thing more democratic than a protest is the vote.
