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.

This is the first time he's been protested and he CHOSE to postpone the event, not cancel it.

The options work for everyone

Trump is on MSNBC right now blaming it all on Obama

"Anger isn't directed at ME. They've been angry for YEARS."

Trump just said "I don't want to see anyone get hurt" on MSNBC.

Even though he's on record encouraging violence repeatedly. What a fucking liar.

Trump's got black people getting beat up at his rallies, and even journalists are getting thrown around now, and you're like "just wait until you can vote in November."

Hopefully this is the start of an organized protest movement against Trump beyond the smaller disruptions that have already taken place at his rallies. Trump isn't a joke anymore, and I don't care if he is a con-artist or conservative parody. He advocates violence against protesters, projects his own highly fragile brand of oppressive masculinity, has a long history of misogyny, racism, and every other kind of prejudice one could imagine.

Trump sounding stupid as hell on MSNBC. He doesn't understand why these people are upset and he's not sure if it's because of him. Yeah. Moron.

This pic is going to be making the waves. Epic.

Hopefully Trump makes it out of the GOP. He will be sunk so bad in the general along with the GOP it's going to be glorious. Silent majority my ass.
 
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.
Did I indicate at all that supported violence toward anyone? That's not what I'm saying. I support prosecuting anyone that was violent a trump rally.
 
Some cops (guys in uniform) grabbed this woman and a bunch of protesters swarmed them and pulled her away. Kinda happy to see that, no matter the context.

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.

His level is beating people and cheering for it. But keep concern trolling

I sadly predict before the election season is over there will be a mass shooting at one of these events. Shit is going into scary directions

I fear that too. You know this is only going to embolden his supporters. I mean hell we already had one hit a guy and say we need to kill him next time. People see this and it angers them. Then you have shit like this rally. It's going to piss off both sides. If Trump does not step up from here on out and crack down on the violence at his rallies it's only going to get worse.

No, but when whole groups of people are being told to shut up and wait to vote because the order that hasn't been working for them for years is supposedly around to help them at a later date, people get kind of anxious.

It's almost as if they don't want to put up with this shit anymore.

People are proving protests work nearly every week now in different ways, and some of y'all are shaking.


You better get used to it.
 
Shut it the fuck down. This is America after all, and they have every right to protest and let their voices be heard. Democracy in action, folks. Hope nobody got badly hurt.

Not that I agree with Trump but not allowing a Presidential Candidate to make his event isn't democratic and you fall to the same level as him. Protest with your vote and not with obstructing him, this will just fuel him and strengthen him.

fuck that, this country was founded on protesting. Ain't shit get done around here until people protest.

Trump has the right to show up to anywhere he's booked to speak. But tens of thousands more have a right to show up and peacefully protest his sorry ass.

The protesters didnt prevent him from speaking, he could have still taken the stage, but he was probably too afraid to speak in front of a bunch of people booing him. Or get recorded with that happening.
