You zig, we zag: Trump's Secret Service outsmarts swarms of protesters in California
Daily Mail ^ | 04/29/2016 | David Martosko

"Donald Trump's Secret Service detail and private bodyguards had the last laugh on Friday as hundreds of protesters swarmed at the front of a San Francisco airport hotel trying to block him from coming in for a speech at the state Republican Party's annual convention.

Instead of partnering with uniformed police in riot shields trying to push the hordes back, they did a law-enforcement head fake – leading the billionaire across a grass highway median and in a back-door loading dock at the Hyatt Regency hotel in the suburb of Burlingame.

The move left Trump feeling like he was crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, he said.

Led by his regular protective detail and Trump's private bodyguard Keith Schiller, the Republican front-runner's arrival became a full-blown media spectacle, with cable news channels interrupting their broadcasts for helicopter live-shots.

Their audiences were treated to the sight of the 69-year-old Trump hopping nearly three feet down from a cement barrier to the grass below, and then climbing uphill in his expensive suit and shoes while local police and California Highway Patrol kept liberal activists at bay on the other side of the hotel."

“I am all for free speech, but it seems like it is ‘whiff of grape’ time for dealing with the unruly commies.
This is not free speech - this is mob violence.”

No joke! I am having this recurring daydream of being in the front lines of these protests with a .44 Magnum, and having to repeatedly use the speed loaders I have in a belt pack...

RE post 13.

And that's what they don't understand. Trump is going to ride a wave of protests and negative campaigning right to the White House.

The more they attack him, the stronger he gets, the higher his poll numbers. Nothing he says or does matters to his supporters. He will win in a landslide.

Shillary would probably have a stroke trying to jump down off a three-foot wall - well, maybe they would appoint six or seven husky guys to catch her and carry her across the median.

That would make great optics!

If the conservatives are correct in their accusations that Trump is really a democRAT liberal, why is the liberal Left attacking and rioting against him?

So which is he, a conservative or a liberal? Maybe he's a little of both ends mixed together and that's why he's attracting so many people to his rallies and to vote for him.

No...the ss and police were unprepared for the situation and made it good enough anyway. Who is protecting this guy, who i am against but deserves free speech, allowing helicopters to post his arrival and entry plan.....obama gets this too? These are our presidential possibilities and ought be protected as presidents.

Not just free speech being interfered with, but also the right to peaceably assemble. There were several actual CALIFORNIA DELEGATES who were barred from entering the hotel by the thugs criminally blocking access.

Former Presidential candidates Steve Forbes and Mike Huckabee were commenting that the secret service definitely were not acting according to protocol with the protected being as exposed as he was.

NOT AT ALL THE USUAL CASE for this kind of thing to happen.

You’ve done little on here but attack Trump, so it’s really hard to believe you give a rat’s pattootie about his ‘brittle, old-people bones” that, like his brain and wallet, are probably stronger than yours. He’s a BUILDER who goes out to construction sites, this is nothing unusual for him.

The good things from all this today, especially how he went in the back and was totally unflustered, will be awesome. Who woulda thunk.
