I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that these probably weren’t Trump supporters. The AP seems to be having some problems figuring this out.

Well the article says they were protestors, since I am a stupid Trump supporter according to Jed Bruz, I would say that the protestors are not Trump supporters.

But I am not as smart as these flashy news reporters and their big words and high level of education.

Secret Service protection, it’s a federal crime to ‘impede or disrupt’
http://theweek.com/speedreads/609856/once-candidates-have-secret-service-protection-federal-crime-impede-disrupt

Donald Trump made headlines Monday when he reportedly ordered his Secret Service agents to remove 30 black students from a campaign event. Under federal law, however, he — or any candidate with Secret Service protection — theoretically could have asked the agents to do much more.
That’s because H.R. 347, which updated existing protest regulations in 2011,makes it a federal crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison to “impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of government business or official functions” — and that applies to a candidate if they’re under Secret Service guard.

HR 347

...and the guy in Dayton is connetcted to ISIS.

It is clear that the left/progressives are staging these attacks...and the MSM and DNC is giving them covering fire, trying to proclaim that it is Trump’s fault.

That’s clearly Bravo Sierra.

The difference is this...Trump is not going to put up with it and is calling it what it is.

Penelope on a thread below is sending that on to The Donald. He said he’d had his ration of these terds, that he was going to prosecute and that might be the ticket.
But I’m not sure that Obama and his justice dept. stooges will act with alacrity.

Those cops deserve a medal for that hosing, but they will probably get punished.

Somebody’s going to get killed before this is all over. And there will be holy hell to pay. The press will see to that. Anger’s logical conclusion is usually violence. Lord I hope I’m wrong but it looks bad. It can either be stoked or cooled down.

What you mean is that we should buckle under to the intimidation of these thugs the way cruz says. No thanks, it way past time we stand-up to these punks. Trump is no coward like these career politicians, that's why he is winning with real Americans. You best stay in Japan, America is no place for cowards.

That was definitely an economy sized can!
Hopefully the word will go out to the lame brains that fun time is over.
If not, stock up on bear spray.
