It seems to me that most of these videos of Trump rallies where there are disturbances and other crazy stuff are white on black incidents. Am I seeing the wrong videos?
Show me where President Obama said he used divisive language.
If you tell thousands of supporters that Mexico is not sending us their best, they are sending rapists, etc. and a person has come from Mexico, they are probably going to feel like you called them a rapist. Thus the signs being held up in Chicago saying "We are not rapists". Personally, I think it's very sad that they felt they had to do that. That is what Trump has brought on.
Some are speculating that he did all this deliberately, to get all the attention and news coverage. Who knows, I wouldn't be surprised, he is a reality show celebrity.
Yes, I think Trump did this intentionally to explode into the news cycle and get all of the media's attention - something he has continued to do since then. But at the same time, Trump is not totally wrong. By having illegals come over and not through the proper channels, we don't get the opportunity to ensure we are getting the best and brightest - something every country wants with respect to their immigration policies. Of course, Trump said it was far more courseness and less elegance than others would have done.
I was referencing Obama's SOTU remarks on his 'regrets' about rancor, etc between the parties. I heard him say something similar in various interviews as well. Easy enough to google but it was the thing that came to mind.
So if he goes on with the rally it is a plan and if he cancels the rally it is a plan. Trump wants to speak. His followers want to hear him. What are they to do without being assaulted and threatened?
Perhaps they should not have held it in downtown Chicago on a university campus. Those protesters were young and clean cut. They resented the names he's called them and they have a right to express their distaste for such a person and they did. He can go out in the suburbs or the south where his supporters like to punch people in the face. He said today he thinks there should be more violence and he got it.
Seeing the reactions of all these simple-minded hating leftists, and the ones that promise to leave the country if he's elected, almost makes me want to vote for Trump.
Almost.
I wonder if this is the same group of Chicago a-holes that were chanting Death to America last weekend?
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.
Chicago Heights, East Chicago and Harvey, IL all crack the top 30.

Most cities presently have the lowest murder rates on several decades because the overall murder rate in the U.S. is down.
Is it different from being thrown out of a rally, and the speaker (trump) foaming "get him the hell outta here". Is that stopping the right of that person having their political opinion heard?
Didn't they just "get him the hell outta" there?
Um...the fact that it was a private event, and that they were not the scheduled speaker. But you knew that, right?
Tell ya what. Go to an Obama event and try the same stunt.
We're quickly moving towards a 3rd world society. It reminds me of the Dominican Republic where they have to ban alcohol sales on election day and women vote in the morning, with men voting in the afternoon, in case there's violence in the streets between voters. This is where America is headed. People cheering this are no better than the racists at Trump rallies. All cut from the same cloth. All just begging for Marshall Law & a full-on military state.
So ........ do these Anarchist Leftists really think they can keep people from Voting in November?
Can Move On, Black Lives Matter, the Occupiers, the College Snowflakes keep people from Voting?
I'm betting NOT.
