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

Soros has spent the most money by any individual in American politics the last 20-25 years...the Koch brothers aren't even close......and there are some of us who know that the facts tell us that when he was younger that Soros assisted the Nazis in rounding up jews.....makes you wonder right.

Personally I suggest people going to Trump events stop by the sports store and pick up a large can of Bear spray!
Shoots 20-30 feet and creates a huuuuuge cloud, perfect for clearing road/sidewalk blockages or groups of loud,nasty spitting/hitting anarchists.

Besides, it'd be fun,fun,fun to watch 'em choke,spit and drool while their eyes are running like Niagara Falls.
Let's see 'em chant after that!

Some of the political tantrums of this election season have made the politicians themselves look like role models in comparison.

Wonder if that would be grounds for an assault charge? Technically they are jaywalking and the driver would not be at fault if they "accidentally" hit 10 or so...but I love the Bear Spray idea.

Well yes, they are supposed to stand at the corners ... not stand in the streets & obstruct traffic. Standing on a corner & holding signs is legal, and a guaranteed First Amendment right. Blocking a major thoroughfare, starting riots, and committing violent acts are criminal. See the difference now?

Nope, I don't support this kind of action either. Using bear spray is basically lowering yourself to the level of the idiotic protesters ... so that would make you a miscreant just like they are. I know it would be tempting to do something like this, but I say leave these matters for law enforcement to handle.

If they actually did their jobs that'd be fine. Unfortunately they're too worried nowadays about being put on the chopping block if they DARE do their jobs.
That road block should have lasted all of 10 minutes, especially given the fact they knew it was coming. None of this "we'll give you 10 chances and 30 minutes to move" crud. It should be "this is an unlawful assembly and you are blocking a roadway. You have 3 minutes to get in your vehicles and pull over there where we will cite you for your violations or we can jail you right now".
If you don't enforce the laws then what good are you or they?
Bring on the bear spray and it'd been over most quickly!

I was wondering about this myself. I favor your approach. Put on the dash/head camera, video record it all, and enforce the laws by the book without tip toeing around. 2 minutes, no debate, your choice "protestors". Law abiding citizens are waiting to use their highway and they want their rights back, too.

I know, I see what you're getting at. I know it is illegal what the protestors did. But I just couldn't help taking a little pleasure in the image of a family going to a Trump rally, all pumped up up to hear his tough talk, but got a dose of street hooliganism instead. I know I'm in the wrong, but it's how I feel.

Okay...but what about the family just trying to get to the lake? Or home to Fountain Hills? Or someone on their way to Payson? Just because they were on Shea doesn't mean they were going to a stupid rally. And that guy that got caught up in the front of it with his business trailer that started receiving death threats even though he had no part in the protest? The protesters and CNN should be culpable for any and all damage to his business. Problem is no one cares about their protest and are just showing how immature their cause really is. Surprise, the supporters of illegal aliens don't care about the laws of the land.
