From what I've gathered, there were thousands of people who showed up to protest Trump. Law Enforcement felt that continuing with the rally would lead to safety issues, and Trump agreed to push it back to a later time. Violence did occur, a couple of police officers were injured, lots of people left there because they said they didn't feel safe.
Except that it was trump that cancelled the event and didn't even tell the police about it until the flunky went on stage to say so

In any event, sucks that happened. The man has the right to speak. Looks like 3 injuries total. At least from my cursory reading this morning it doesn't seem clear which "side" was responsible.

Considering that Trump keeps on making comments about hitting people that protest him and that being respectful (ie 'politically correct') is a bad thing...any surprise that his supporters take that to heart?

Now matter who loses, we win? I particularly liked Trump's face when the guy charged the podium and he turned, making what the wife calls a "cat face" (which means a face that looks like a cat's ass). Excellent. Automatically Appended Next Post: Considering that Trump keeps on making comments about hitting people that protest him and that being respectful (ie 'politically correct') is a bad thing...any surprise that his supporters take that to heart?
***Strange, in the Chicago video I saw, protesters were grabbing Trump signs and tearing them up. One grabbed a flag from a Trumptskiite. I'd beat wholesale ass for that. The protesters are attempting to eliminate the Trumpskiite's right to assemble. My sympathy for them is less than nothing. Protest outside, but let them have their little party putch's unmolested. All the hullabaloo is still less than a high school's celebration after a regional win though. Everyone needs to up their game before my funmeter gets low and I have to start watching Korean parliament riots again. Shoes! Shoes flying everywhere!

Protesting is a very valid form of freedomof speech and s an essential part in any democracy.
Punching protestors is illegal and should be condemned entirely.
If a protestor is peacefully holding a sign or - shock horror - shouting or talking or singing, there is no justification for any attacks.

You're right. Protestors do not get a free pass to do the same thing though. Everyone is so fast to attack Trump, that I've been seeing a lot of glossing over the fact that "protestors" were acting improperly themselves.

Well, quite. I am searching the internet now and can not find a single source from even the "Armstrong Economics end of lunatics" to support this.
I am at a loss as to why a person wearing for example a Black Lives Matter shirt would stand up, make his point, and then attack the people next to him.

That's my point, sure the video looks like the dude attacked the trump supporter but it only shows the end of it and it only takes half a second to sucker punch someone and then try and play innocent for the cameras

Indeed.
The best part of this was the Trump - Bernie Twitter exchange where Trump threatened to send this supporters to Bernie's rallies. Bernie replied 'Let them come - they deserve to see an honest politician'. #Burned.

Wow....who knew that she would try this a second time...but even more so to try and block her opponent!
That takes some major cajones!
http://observer.com/2016/03/rigged-debbie-wasserman-schultz-strikes-once-again/
Ms. Wasserman Schultz is blocking any challenger to a Democratic incumbent from accessing the voter file database—a vital campaign tool for any election.
“Last week, I called the Florida Democratic Party to request access to the voter file database and software known as VAN that is routinely used by Democratic candidates across the country,” wrote Tim Canova, Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s primary challenger, in an article on Medium. “I was told that our campaign would be denied access to this database because I am running against an incumbent Democrat, Debbie Wasserman Schultz. I was also told that any Democratic candidate running against an incumbent Democrat would be denied access — even a lifelong progressive challenging an out-of-touch incumbent.”

The opposition tactic is to stand and hold banners and sing. That's legal and legitimate and a good form of protesting.
The Trumpers have been hitting protestors. That's illegal and not in anyway a legitimate response. Furthermore Trump has been winding his own side up with the language he's using. Laughing about thumping someone in a charged atmosphere, telling his dunderhead supporters to attack people, and linking it to wider perceptions about a disengaged class is incitement to violence and it's legal either.

Then don't try to inhibit their free speech? Protesters should legally protest outside. Protesting at events are merely fascistic attempts at tyranny. Your average working Joe (or KKK depending on how you view them) seem to object to that. At least the protesters aren't trying to break up a Teamsters meeting. They'd not have an unbroken bone yet.
