You type comments like this, and then claim you can't for the life of you figure out why people think Trump and his supporters are bigots?

Because blaming Trump holding a rally as a legit reason for people to riot is the same as blaming the victim of a crime for the crime.

What?

Inciting violence = victim blaming someone who is raped?

I swear, some of the posters in this board live on other worlds.

Blame the victim. Free speech only happens when everyone respects each other enough to let everyone have their say. I find this display and your post disgusting. Thank you for giving us just another reason to vote the bums out and get rid of this PC nonsense.

Ummm....Chicago's murder rate is not high, it is one of the lowest, especially for a city of its size in the country.

It has not been on any sort of "most dangerous" cities list for decades.

Just because the media focuses a lot on Chicago due to the President hailing from the Chi doesn't mean that it has a high murder rate. Murder rates in that city over the past 3 decades are the lowest they have been since the 1960s/1970s.

Yeah...the P&OC and Elections sub-forums can be baffling at times.

Nope, pretty sure it's Obama's divisiveness that has created the big problem. Obama started it the ball rolling.

Threat of violence?
It was just people holding arms until people started inciting.
And yes, I want a society where me and like minded people can put a stop to an idiot running to be leader of MY country.

I don't blame Trump for holding a rally. I blame Trump for fomenting violence at his rallies, and then whining because people are getting violent. He's sure as hell is not the victim in your little misguided scenario.

He just did the same thing on MSNBC. Kept saying over and over that the police told him to cancel it, but the police have said they said no such thing. And Trump kept repeating the same sentences over and over. He either doesn't know or won't acknowledge that the percentage of supporters was only about 40%, there were far more protesters than supporters at the Chicago venue.

These protests are also part of the political process. You had people holding signs saying "We are not rapists". That's pretty poignant. Trump has called these people terrible things and they are defending themselves. They have the right to do that.
