1) There is no mass call for anything resembling assassination, one or two nut jobs said that. Yes, we have nut jobs on our side, just as you do on yours. NO ONE I know wants any harm to come to Trump, NO ONE. This is not some 3rd world country we have here, we are above that. I simply want Trump to return to NYC and his family, safe and sound, so we can get back to normal here in America and move forward.
2) As for the " tiny group of Nazis/White Supremacists" , just one of them is one too many. Besides, they are growing in numbers and coming out from the shadows. They used to secretly hide on their little alt Right websites and in their little meetings, but now they are emboldened to come out and march and stir up hatred and trouble. This Cancer needs to be checked out now and slowed down before it becomes the norm on our streets.
3) Yep, some on the left are going way too far in their protesting, no question. But you and I were not there to see what may have transpired to provoke those kinds of reactions. If a Nazi/WS groups showed up on my block with torches, helmets, and weapons, I would probably be out there doing something too............and I bet you would if they invaded your home turf. That is not free speech, it is agitating and trying to start problems.
I never said there was a MASS call for assassinations.........typical leftist emotional hyberbole. But, to use your language one from an elected official is one too many. In any case, there is a mass effort that has been underway since the election to delegitimize and remove Trump from office. What's gone on the past week is more of the same.
I don't agree there is some growing problem with Nazis. In fact, I find that absurd. They have marched and rallied for decades. I'm sure you know they do that with the full force of the Supreme Court behind them. So no, if they come to my town I will not be marching against them. Letting them make fools of themselves and ignoring them has worked for decades; nothing has changed other than the media/Libs drumming up hysteria.
Of course, I live in a Republican controlled town. They wouldn't be allowed to create mayhem here and police would not stand down while two groups of protestors who should have been separated go at each other. Charlottesville has a lot to answer for in that regard.
As despicable as their idealogy may be, they have a right to meet, rally, march, speak. Others do not have the right to assault them no matter how "provoked" they are by words or torches.
You and I were not there, but spokeswoman for the Charlotte police said both sides engaged in violence. She did not make any distinction that Antifa/leftist violence was justified.
"I'm sending my diploma back because the president of the United States is defending Nazis and white supremacists," Chris Gaumer said.
If that's what he thinks, then he doesn't deserve that diploma anyway. I don't like Trump, but I still find it incredible that supposedly intelligent people believe this. All you need to do is listen, without the media telling you what he said, and without trying to twist it into some kind of "code".

I'm willing to bet that he'll still be listing the University degree on his resume? Symbolic gesture is symbolic.
