Following this shouldn't they also expect what could result from "protesting" the way they've been? Eventually some of these idiots are going to tick off the wrong people and somebody is going to end up hurt or dead.
Now, who's fault exactly would that be? The idiots who are being "aggressive" or the people responding to the aggressors?

Now if YOU as an "aggressive protestor" are willing to take the consequences and not go running and screaming that somebody beat y'all senseless or ran y'all over or whatever then ok, I guess we're off to the races then and it's all good!

Unfortunately as we've seen so far these "aggressive" people run to Mr. Policeman or Mr. Attorney when someone physically disagrees with their being so "aggressive".

This agitation and disruption only has to do with free speech inasmuch as their shenanigans are an attempt to block others from speaking and others from hearing them.

Sheep follow their leader and do what they're told to do. This is the sheep mentality of the Bernie/Hillary crowd. They're for anything that's free or handed to them. Protesting or blocking roads is free and their way to try to have their 15 minutes of glory. Just like the Occupy morons.

Besides, they don't have jobs, so what else do they have to do? If Trump would have called this an employment recruiting fair, none of the sheep would have shown up.

Well it'll be Trumps fault in the end. He'll have drove them to break the law with magical mean powers. I've heard he has the ability to possessed others and cause harm through them. lol These poor innocents have no control against the Trump powers, he's drove them to block streets and throw items. I heard if you spray them with water, it breaks the spell.

They and the idiotic media blaming Trump for not stopping protesters (how? wave a magic wand?) are the reasons Trump is winning. America is sick to the gills of criminal protesters and the lying media.


I watched George Stephanopoulos this morning. God, what a smarmy little weasel that fool is!

I think there is something to be said, non-partisan, regarding the violence surrounding these events. We had a guy get punched and kicked in Tucson and this protest in Fountain Hills in the same day for the same candidate.


I've also noticed that Trumps commercials focus around what Trump is willing to say but not do.

Whenever these protesters commit acts which reflect a counterculture movement, all it does is give more support to the other side ... but then, I wouldn't expect them to bright enough to comprehend that.

I just shake my head trying to figure out what the true purpose is here. Perhaps it's just some anarchists enjoying their moment in the sun given all forms of logic/reason seem to not register on what the true goal is for such misguided/illogical behavior? Of course the paid protestor element might come into play here to a certain degree, protesting for a livin' kind of thing. Sigh.

Exchange Sanders "supporters" for "immigration activists" in Phoenix. Keep the Trump base agitated and turning out for Trump at the polls and help ensure that Democrats don't want to be associated with the hooliganism of Sanders "supporters" and turn out for Hillary.

What better way to ensure a Hillary victory in November? We're witnessing political theatrics and trickery at it's finest.

Agree with all the notes on this thread above.
I'm from the 70's and I remember only too well who is behind things like this. These protestors didn't think this up themselves. It may be they are paid just like the Ferguson protestors were paid, and it wouldn't be a surprise. There is a concerted effort (and has been since the early 1900's) to undermine the US system. People like soros genuinely hate our success and he has made it his lifelong mission to destroy the US and all it stands for.

People who are control freaks just hate the idea of a Bill of Rights, Liberty, Individualism, innovation and freedom and they are working hard to divide us and make the college students feel like these things are bad (ummm anyone notice that people DIE trying to get into this country because of all this Liberty, Freedom, etc etc? Must be something good about it!) Unfortunately, since the 70's they have taken over our schools and Millenials really don't realize how much they've been brainwashed and how little real history they have learned. It's all distorted, it's all manipulative; the media really IS extremely controlled by these socialist forces, and the young masses really believe the BS they are being fed. Never mind the myth about socialism working in the EU is overblown and simplified (and now the syrian "refugees" are overwhelming that system!)

They should not be allowed to stop traffic. They need to at least get off the main highway. I wouldn't support this against any candidate no matter how I feel about them. I don't care for Trump and I think he's up to something ... but the more the Left and the Right fight him, the more I believe they are all afraid of their cushy little corrupt world collapsing way out there in DC. Both parties have strayed so far from our Constitution and we are a shadow of a once great nation that allowed people to become who they wanted to be. Sure, capitalism is flawed, but it isn't pure capitalism we are seeing. It's crony capitalism, which is a product of the Democrats AND the Republicans.

I don't have TV so I don't watch a lot of news. I'd rather get my information by reading the Congressional record or watching the entire speech online. That being said, Judge Jeanine Pirro, in case you missed it, has explained this protest better than anyone.
She nailed the whole Trump thing and should be watched by everyone. For those of you who automatically go into fits when you hear the words Fox News might want to occasionally tune in so you can discover that they represent all sides to a debate - Left, Right, Independent, Libertarian, Green... not something you find on most other channels.

While I disagree with Trump's statements and he's not my choice candidate, people have a right to vote for whomever they'd like. If you don't like Trump, don't vote for him. But,inconveniencing thousands of people by pulling this type of stunt (I.e. blocking the roads) is wrong and dangerous.

So you like people breaking the law and causing a dangerous situation? For most it was just an inconvenience to have to sit in a blockade for hours. But what if there was an emergency? What if someone was having a heart attack and couldn't get through? That's ok with you? Because that's why these types of laws are there. But you think it's fine if some punks want to stop traffic for hours because they're butthurt over what some politician says?
Yes, stand on the corner with signs and wave and shout and scream. That IS what legal protesting is.
