According to H.R. 347 (signed into law by Barack Hussein Obama in February, 2012) it is ILLEGAL under CURRENT FEDERAL to protest of any type, in an area under protection by the U.S. Secret Service.
Because Donald Trump is under Secret Service Protection (as is Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders) and has been since November of 2015, it is a FEDERAL CRIME to protest at campaign rallies, and is in fact, punishable by imprisonment.
Free Speech isn't covered at ANY Trump, Clinton, Sanders (or Cruz, Rubio, Kasich) rally because protests are considered to be "knowingly impeding or disrupting the orderly conduct of an official Federal function."
Until Donald Trump's Secret Service protection is revoked, Trump can legally kick protesters out of his rallies no matter what they do.

That's a broad (and false ) reading .

Where does this protest halo end ? I mean a cant protest in hillary or Donald's face . But if I'm 50 yards away ??

The service protects Donald, they ain't security for his events .
 
You misunderstand the Bill. What it actually says is Liberals can violently protest anything and anywhere they want while Republicans need to just shut up and admit white privilege.

When did Trump supporters show up at Hillary or Bernie's rallies and start trouble?

Obama Criminalize Free Speech? - Factcheck.org

Says exactly the same thing as the OP.

  • The 2012 version says it is unlawful if someone “knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions, engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.”
One last thing: Critics of the president are using the law to scare people into thinking that the law will be used against his critics. Maybe it will be. But the law doesn’t cover just the president and vice president and it hasn’t since it was amended in 1982. It covers anyone under Secret Service protection, including past presidents of both parties and the Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees.

2 or 3 assholes out of 15,000+ fans makes the entire lot violent. Makes sense to me.
 
you are so dumb. It's says "disrupt ".

You can be at a rally and silently protest and not be disruptive .

Sure we can, when you have the balls to admit the protesters at Trump's events are wrong, but we know that will never happen because you're deaf, dumb and blind...

Let see:eusa_think:

Common sense will tell you not to protest/agitate people at an event

Now you are saying that they can be arrested if the event meets certain requirements.

OK--I got ya. Trump can sue BLM for protesting his rallies. Strange that Trump has not mentioned filing a lawsuit.

Where does it say that it's okay to punch the protesters in the face?
 
this sentence was cut off from the original posted above. We need to get this passed around to Hannity and a Few others so they can shove it down Democrats throats.

Read it and weep, libs. Your "President" signed it. He did it to protect himself at his own rallies in 2012. Now it comes back to haunt the Democrats and they don't like it.

Below is one persons interpretation of the Bill
The interpretation is wrong.

(c)In this section—
(1)the term “restricted buildings or grounds” means any posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted area—

What rational person is going to interpret the spectator area of a political rally as "restricted". Especially in the full context of the Chapter of US code that this section is contained.

18 U.S. Code Chapter 84 - PRESIDENTIAL AND PRESIDENTIAL STAFF ASSASSINATION, KIDNAPPING, AND ASSAULT
