Political Violence (and Trump)
Chuck Klein Author.com ^ | 13 Mar 16 | Churck Klein

Subject: Political Violence

During some Trump political rallies there have been protesters who disrupted a lawful meeting and were then physically attacked. Surely the attendees were overwhelmingly Republicans, duh, and thus the protesters must be . . . Democrats, double duh.

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: it’s the Republican attendees who committed the acts of violence against the protesters. Sorry, it’s well established in law that one can’t utter fighting words or egg another on (create the situation) and then claim innocence or self-defense when there’s retaliation.

The Democrat elitist class is showing its true colors – they are the violent ones and a danger to us all. Do you want a leader who espouses citizens to fight back or do you want a pseudo leader who touts he wants the people to do “ . . . WHAT WE WANT THEM TO DO ” (see my editorial 10 Mar 2016 What We Want)? Or, Hillary, who calls Trump “divisive” after she stated that her worst enemies are Republicans?

North Carolina authorities reportedly (per Gretchen Carlson - FOX News) going to charge Trump with INciting A Riot.

Agreed! Ted Cruz has too many voters who are on the edge of supporting Trump and going after Trump is going to push some of those people over to Trump.

I know myself I was supporting Cruz and then voted for Trump because Cruz started cozying up to the GOPee Establishment. Can’t imagine I’m alone in that.

I’m betting all Trump did was be there.

I saw than and thought, “Exactly!”

Ted has been too cute by half, and is now doubling down on it to the point he looks very foolish.

What Ted has shown here, is that he is not a clear enough thinker to sit on the SCOTUS.

Ted may wind up back in Texas sooner than he thinks. He will never show up in the White House now, except to visit.

It was the campaign rally where the 78 year old dude clocked the dindoo.

Urged by Rubio, Kasich Romney and the self proclaimed "constitutionalist" Cruz by blaming the victims for the violence

Yes, yes, you can.
I can say anything I want, and if you have such low emotional intelligence that you strike me, I sue you and own your home.

A am amazed at myself for thinking earlier that he was presidential, and, if not that, then a scotus judge.

However, I see through him now, and there is nothing there.

He is simply just another politician, with an R behind his name, for bona fides, which are slowly eroding to nothing.

These leftists were photographed by yours truly outside of the Dayton Trump rally on 3/12/16. Make note of the Anonymous flag, the Guy Fawkes masks, the suppressed assault rifle and extra mags, the AR15, and the F Trump sign. Don't tell me that Trump supporters are the ones causing problems at the rallys.

Soros and the like are trying to take him down.
Don’t let them.

The much wished for revolution is here against the corruption in Washington and the infiltration of commies and muzzies into our governmental system.
Donald started it and is leading it.
HE IS OUR VOICE- DON’T LET THEM BRING HIM DOWN!

“Sorry, it’s well established in law that one can’t utter fighting words or egg another on (create the situation) and then claim innocence or self-defense when there’s retaliation.”

I don’t think anyone will be able to cite a single court case where the “fighting words” exception has been applied to a political protest...

Including myself, I think too many of us were ready to buy off on a Freshman Senator.

That should have been a tip-off right there.

I did want him on Trump’s ticket, and I did favor him on the SCOTUS as well.

Senator Sessions was a natural to support him. Ted lost that support.

He lost his chance at the White House.

He lost his chance to sit on the Supreme Court.

Ted is simply too light in the loafers.

That’s what Gretchen CArlson reported minutes ago.
