KC tensions rising in advance of Donald Trump visit
The Kansas City Star ^ | 03/11/2016 | STEVE KRASKE

Tensions in Kansas City already were on the rise Friday night in advance of Donald Trump’s scheduled Saturday evening stop here.

Just hours after Trump canceled his Friday rally in Chicago over security concerns, anti-Trump forces were organizing on social media and planning to stage what they hope is a massive protest inside and outside the downtown Midland Theater where the GOP presidential candidate is to speak.

A Facebook page labeled “Trump Out of KC!” sprang up to organize protestors. Others on Twitter using #ShutItDown indicated they were emboldened by their success in contributing to the cancellation of the Chicago event.

I’m not, it infuriates me these little punks are shutting him down.

This whole mess is turning supporters into staunch supporters. People are seeing themselves trashed and mischaracterized daily on the news, trashed by politicians within their own party. This pisses a lot of people off instead of cowing them as is intended.

If these a-holes would simply stay away from Trump events, there would be no problem.

Why is it there have been no problems at Hillary events? Because Republicans can't be bothered to attend and start a ruckus.

That’s another place he shouldn’t go. Find a venue in the burbs within reach of patriots from the city. Don’t let the ferals feel comfortable if they show their ugly faces.

Protester didn’t get nowhere close enough to breathe on Trump, much less touch him. Secret Service took protester out.

Has 2 rallies in Ohio today, KC rally tonight.

They ALL, always, look so angry. I think that’s why there are so few attractive Dem/Lib women. Anger takes its toll.

After having been there, it’s really hard to tell on your own if something is going on several rows behind you. It’s hard to see between all the heads, the place is sooo packed it’s hard to see between people.

One cue that you have that something’s going on is the sudden alert pose by security on stage as they continuously scan the crowd.

Another is that the Trump supporters immediately connected to a protester(s) will begin to loudly chant “Trump! Trump!...”. It’s even difficult to hear what the protester is saying only a few rows away. It’s loud due to music, or loud due to the speech itself, and yet it’s muffled in the audience depending on your seat, the acoustics of the place and where the disturbance is coming from in relation to where you might be at.

Often times when you go to a concert, the foot of the stage is lined with men...muscular men...in Black Tshirts which say “security” on the front and on the back. They just stand there with their backs to the stage monitoring the crowd, ready to move out and spread out..or draw together as the need may be.

I do think that if Secret Service men are going to be there for Trump, they really need to be on that stage, standing, and ready to protect. If BOTH exist, Security with black tshirts..front of stage and back of crowd, plus SService ON the stage, then all are covered.

The audience is also part of that security when they surround a protestor/trouble maker in the immediate vacinity and tighten up shoulder to shoulder till security arrives.

Trump isn’t the divisive one here. That division occurred under Zero and has been ongoing for some time now.

Should Trump supporters retaliate in like kind? NO! WE are better than that kind of dirt. We are not dirt, nor should we act like it. Heads up, Chins up, walk with dignity and self respect. Lead by example. Keep your eyes and ears open, be aware of your surroundings.

Col. Johnson: "It appears we misjudged the gunnery sergeant Trump."

Senator Meachum: "There's always a confused soul that thinks that one man can make a difference. And you have to kill him to convince him otherwise. That's the hassle with democracy."
