Again, you would need a measure that wasn't Clinton/Trump to test that though. Two awful chocies, nothing positive to come from this disaster of an election cycle.

no one can deny it happens more at Trump rallies than other similar events, but there are also many more people attending his rallies and many of them are there to insult Trump supporters. As for the misfits Clinton referred to: give me a break; someone gets pissed at a protester and that makes him a misfit?

Therefore, they shouldn't cry foul when they enter the event with the goal of being disruptive. Those that are in support of Trump feel equally as passionate as those that decide to protest. If I go to an Eagles game with a megaphone yelling "Eagles suck Cowboys rule" - should I be shocked if at least 1 in 70,000 decides to shut me up?

But again, why aren't Trump supporters trying disrupt Hillary's events? As a whole, do they lean more toward order, law and 1st amendmendment rights being protected?

Well, there is always johnson & stein, and any number of other smaller choices in the national, state, & local races. For example, will the voters of Florida bring back rubio? I would say, if they did, it would be dumber than voting in someone new. Don't you agree?

I stand by my original assertion that they don't want to hear anyone other than trump.

Living in a democracy means people have the right to protest. Living in a society in a civil way means respecting the persons with whom you disagree with. I would never harm or encorage a person who disagrees with me from being struck or harmed. Its that simple. Would not justify an action that would harm a conservative. Wont say that any justification can made for harmong a person who disagrees with me or mine in a civil way, whether they were invited or not. Should be so plain and simple.

Anyone who physically assaults someone with punches, choking or hands to the face like that bohunk did is actually a criminal and liable to criminal assault. Much more than a passing "misfit" label.
You do not have the right to put your hands on others or do violence to others for any reason except self defense. The fact that Trump supporters are defending those actions in this thread gives a pretty accurate Thumbnail of the actions they would take if Trump gets elected. As one poster said in this thread, "Those Hillary supporters and leftys need to be controlled". Trump encourages and gives license to these sort of physical altercations.
And THAT'S! a fact

I'm voting for Johnson. I won't comment on Rubio in FL since I don't live there or follow it closely enough to make an informed statement on him or anyone he is running against.

I just heard an interview with a lady who was at that rally. She stated that the anti-Trump protestors were constantly throwing F-bombs at Trump supporters and made every effort to disrupt the rally.

The Soros paid protestors are vile people. Deplorable, as Hillary would say.

It doesn't happen at Hillary rallies for 3 reasons:

1) Almost nobody actually attends her rallies.

2) Trump supporters are busy earning a paycheck most of the time. And they aren't predisposed to interrupting rallies the way the Left is. They actually respect the First Amendment.

3) There are no Soros funded professional agitators that show up to interrupt Hillary 'rallies'.
