I agree the people disrupting these events are out of hand as far as the number of times they disrupt an event. Once or twice and you get heard, more than that and you are in fact trying to stop other people from expressing their free speech as well.
But physical violence on people? No way. The guy who got punched was leaving and the old guy sucker punched him, and now the old guy is being charged with assault which he should be. Trump though, should come out and say I don't condone that. Escort them out but you don't get any free passes to harm people.
And please don't compare people at trump events to anyone else. No one else's supporters are violent like that or speak like they do. They are a step away from being brownshirts. Let us hope this event shows them its time to cool the rhetoric. If not then I hope they have plenty of room at the jail.
Again, BLM? They stole the stage from Sanders, completely removing his right to speak at his own event. I don't like Sander's economic policies but I still feel he's got the right to speak, 'specially at his own event. I'm not going to lie and say that if someone had punched em, I wouldn't chuckle about it. Again, we know it's wrong, and we don't particularly condone it, but still...
You're going straight for the faux outrage angle with the "Trump supporters are violent" talking points in order to influence votes - you've completely missed my point.
As for your latter comment, son, I'll make any damn comparison I wish, your opinion is your own and you're welcome to think it and more than welcome to disagree with me, but here's the thing - and this is what I'm talking about - you have no right to tell me I "shouldn't" be saying /my/ opinion, regardless if you tack a facetious "please" on it. That is a hairs breath from "shut up if you don't agree with my opinion" stance and quite frankly people are sick and tired of. If you'd like to debate something with reasonable discussion, I'm all for it, but you don't want to discuss anything here, you just want me to stop talking. I strongly disagree with that "idea" regardless of which side, or whom, is doing it. It's exactly what is "wrong" with these rally disrupters, they think that they have the "right" to disrupt something simply because they disagree with what's being said. No, in America /everyone/ has the right to speak, all opinions are "equal" and none have the right to suppress the others from being heard.
This is something that goes to the heart of nearly every problem in the country; OWS feels like wall street doesn't listen to them, BLM feels like the police don't listen to them, Rednecks feel like the government don't listen to them, Christians feel like the government doesn't listen to them, anti-global warming folks feel that the government isn't listening to the other side of the story, and so on through nearly every issue you can find a link. We as a society need to stop telling people to shut up.
