Does anyone think the protesters would allow anyone to give a point of view that wasn't their own?

I don't.

That's when it infringes upon someone else's civil right to free speech.

The ruckus was completely unnecessary in Chicago, Cleveland, etc., and goes to prove that the left is more intolerant at the very thought of Trump being allowed to speak, (not even the action of voting Trump as president which has not happened yet).

It's unbelievable how low they are willing to dive to make a point.

The protests were the fruit of the seeds of free speech Trump planted already. They didn't keep him from speaking. He heard they were there and hightailed out out of town like the chicken**** he is. If he had had any guts and gumption he would have delivered his address and tried to convert them. Should he win the presidency, he needs to know that there won't be anywhere for him to run and hide when he catches flak. I really don't think he could handle it.

It's not about standing up in an arena and being shouted down, and insulted for your viewpoint.

He doesn't need to convince, or convert anyone to his side, because they all proved with their behavior that they were deaf to anything he had to convey, and were going to silence his right to freedom of speech.

#1. It was an open forum, anyone could attend from either side.

#2. They were not there to listen, they were there to prevent him from speaking.

#3. There was nothing he could say to sway them to his side.

#4. Trump was not preventing them from exercising their right to freedom of speech.

#5. Many were there to prevent Trump from exercising his freedom of speech.

#6. It's a campaign rally, not a civil rights march - they all went overboard in the worst way possible.

Trump never showed up, so we'll never know what might have happened. We know for certain that if he wasn't there, they didn't stop him from speaking. Any statement to the contrary would be pure speculation. If it was an open forum, everyone had a right to be there, like him or not. The big question is, who started the hostilities? Was it the protesters, or was it the Trumpettes. After footage from some of his recent rallies of comments to and physical assaults on protestors, and Nazi salutes by his supporters, I have my own idea.

BTW - There are probably several hundred thousand people who would disagree with you on #6 after Trump's constant attacks on various groups since last June.

i ask you a question, "if you went to a concert and people tried to drown the music out, or a wedding and people didn't want the couple to get married in peace, what would you do?"

If they think they wouldn't get thrown out of a concert, a wedding, or any other event they disrupted they are truly clueless individuals.

people have a right to see somebody they want to see in America, without some dumbass thinking they don't have that right.

You mean like a concert where the band told everyone who did like a particular song to get the hell out? Or a wedding where the groom accuses the brides relatives of being rapists and drug dealers?

How was it an open forum?

Who paid the rent on the building?

Trump had plenty of places he could have rented for his event. Why did he select the only place in town guaranteed to creat a s---storm?

I suspect that protestors are more than spoiled brats. They are useful idiots manipulated by the real Power. Since the socialist revolution of 1933 ended constitutional government in the uSA, they have feared a counter revolution.
There is historical precedence that counter revolutions are messy and well let's just stop there.
. . .
The heirs of Patrick Henry and George Washington might surprise them.

I truly believe its dangerous to promote hate. From experience (not me preaching it, but seeing it preached, and disguised as "loving" criticism).



I believe that Trump could've made his points without some of the hate. He wasn't being attacked by Mexicans or Hispanics. Same with African Americans. He allowed hateful and violent people to get out of hand at his rallies without calming down the environment surrounding his rallies. I could go on.


I'm not justifying the actions of anyone for that night, I'm just stating what helped lead up to the environment that spiraled out of control this weekend.



It was not bunch of people "whining" without any real grievances.

The protestors often are ridiculously juvenile, but the biggest spoiled brat at those rallies is clearly Trump. He exhibits similar behavior to an ill-tempered 3rd grader. His name calling and penus measuring is an embarrassment to the entire nation, as he drags us down to the most base and banal, to the lowest common denominator. Kim Kardashian has more substance as a politician. The man's a joke; a clown. Full of bluster but no workable plans whatsoever.
