Gives credence to those who claim Clinton was part of setting this up and blaming it on Bernie.

If the officers cannot touch or arrest anyone, I tend to doubt how fully effective they would have been. Those socialists were quite vicious, and threw glass bottles at the cops. Donald did the right thing by calling it off. He still accomplished his mission of altering the nation on how leftists are ready to shut down free speech.

I’ve read that it was set up by Hillary and blamed on Bernie.

It wouldn’t surprise me considering who the mayor of Chicago is.

twas an odd combination of “protesters” there.

BLM alongside LaRaza alongside Communists USA alongside Bernouts.

Nothing in common except for their hate of America

Everyone is afraid of another Ferguson - damned if they do (BLM crowd screams bloody murder) and damned if they don’t (people upset they did not stop the anarchy).

At some point they will go to far and public opinion will demand action by the Police. Until then, the police are afraid to do their jobs (especially in a liberal paradise).

So a stand down is ordered at the Baltimore and Chicago protests, but not in Oregon (Finnicum shooting).

This country sucks.

Interesting hum... Trump at his rally this evening was speaking about Free Speech and the ‘disrupters’. How important that WTP should never sit back and allow them to silence us.

Internet problems and the feed was terrible in buffering constantly, audio from terrible to barely heard. Hackers playing games? I don’t know but we eventually left the site and surfed over to Alec Jones/Info Wars. This is what was heard http://www.infowars.com/breaking-new-trump-scandal-devastating-info-released/

How much credibility given to this site? Just recently located and have seen it not more than 2-3 weeks. Roger Stone seems to be living in the studio he appears with Jones so often.

Thinks for the ping and information.

In the ‘30’s Spanish civil war there was a variety of different socialist, anarchist and communist groups fighting Franco’s Republican army.
They lost. Franco’s still dead.
