Energetic reaction? That's how you spin rioting? Your position is no different than little baby Johnny throwing a tantrum when he doesn't get a cookie before dinner.
This is America, we have the right to free speech, you do NOT have the right to react the way your feelings dictate. Grow up!
I wasn't there. I'm very well matured. thank you.
Physically perhaps. Blaming Trump for the rioters is like blaming banks for bank robberies. It's where the money is.
I suspect you are lumping everyone at that incident in the same vein. I saw several hundred people ..maybe a couple thousand in the new broadcast. I saw two guys pounding on the cop car. There were a small handful actually clashing with police and other people at the front lines. If you can take those few people out of the picture all you have is two groups of people with opposite viewpoints yelling at each other. Barely newsworthy.
I'm not sure that Trump HAD to exit his vehicle and risk his safety scrambling up the small embankment with his security. It would be helpful if an accurate timeline was available detailing what happened and when it happened to assess if the strange entrance Trump chose was necessary or wise. The Donald does have a flair for the showmanship. The news coverage I saw was a closer in shot on Trump and doesn't have a perspective of the status of the crowd or the violence at the time he was outside of his car.
I didn't do any lumping. I said we have the right to protest, but not the right to act out against others. That wasn't a trick answer. You also ignored the point that one group went there to support their guy and the other group went there to start some shit. That is NOT equitable blame.
I repeat ..perhaps I wasn't clear earlier. I believe that there were not TWO groups but actually at least three. There were the anti Trump people, the pro Trump people and thirdly some that were there just to make trouble. As I said before we see that here in Seattle at ALL major protests. There is a group that travels around in the Western states that makes Molitov cocktails and various weapons that can be used on people and store front glass.
There are legitimate anti Trump protesters that want to only have their voices heard as well as pro Trump supporters that feel the need to defend their candidate even though they know their presence adds to the volume of noise at these confrontations.
