Violent anti-Trump protesters only boost support for Trump

anti-trump protest

And wait until you see how the left wing media portrayed what happened.

Donald Trump held a rally in New Mexico yesterday. Protesters were on hand but simple protest was not enough. Exercising their rights was not enough. They decided they were going to suppress the rights of Trump and of those who attended the rally. They lit fires and threw rocks and bottles at police, some of whom were injured. They assaulted a wheelchair-bound Trump supporter while chanting "Stop the hate!" (video at the link)

There was violence both inside and outside the rally.

As far away as Pakistan it was reported correctly.

The primary victory brings Trump, the last Republican standing in the 2016 US presidential race, one major step closer toward clinching his party’s nomination.

But the success was clouded by violent anti-Trump demonstrations in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Chaos erupted outside a Trump rally when protesters threw burning t-shirts and bottles at police, and tried to storm the convention center where the provocative Republican candidate was speaking.

Horse-mounted police and officers wielding clubs used pepper spray and smoke bombs to try to disperse the crowd.

The protesters, several of whom waved Mexican flags, chanted expletives about Trump. Some also waved signs with expletive-laden anti-Trump slogans in Spanish.

In Spanish.

So how was this portrayed in the left wing media?

Talking Points Memo:

Donald Trump's Campaign Rally In New Mexico Turns Violent

Idiots.

As you can see, these dirtbags were flying the flag of their home- the Mexican flag. They're here illegally and they're suppressing the rights of US citizens and flying the Mexican flag. Nothing says I want to assimilate and become a US good citizen more than that. The violence only vindicates and validates Trump's position on illegals. It is entirely unacceptable for illegals to break into this country, make demands and sow violence. I lay all of this at obama's feet. Some people will behave like animals when they're allowed to behave like animals. When there is no disincentive for intimidation there will be intimidation. When there is no disincentive for violence, there will be violence.

Every time someone whips out a Mexican flag, it’s another vote for Trump.

I can’t see how sane American could watch these agitator thugs and be anywhere near the same side as they, ideologically or politically.

If it’s not unconstitutional to burn an American flag, certainly it’s not unconstitutional to burn a Mexican flag. At one of these protests, I wish someone would bring a Mexican flag and light it on fire and stomp all over it. Time to fight fire with fire....and take OUR country back.

I’d love it if it turned out that a Trump company was selling the Mexican flags.

If a picture says a thousand words I guess then a Video causes a Million hits:-)

No way a real American can look at the vids and NOT see the Truth of the matter and who it “is” responsible for the violence:-)

If we did that in Mexico we would be shot or we would disappear completely.

Are all Latina women fat? Seems like every picture I see of them shows one or more that are either overweight or downright obese.

“while chanting “Stop the hate!””

Because only liberals know how to hate properly.

They lit fires and threw rocks and bottles at police

So it's what the liberal media would describe as a "peaceful" rally

Thanks to Travis for this reality instead of La Raza creative wet dreams.

It really never was Mexico. Courtesy of Travis McGee:
“The True History of the Southwest, 101”

The amount of historical idiocy and fallacies surrounding the history of the Southwest is staggering, chief among them the “Aztlan” fairy tales. What’s the truth? How did the Spanish Europeans conquer the Southwest? The “conquistadores” (that means “conquerors”) did it with the lance, and the lash.

For example, in 1541 Coronado entered present-day New Mexico (which included present-day Arizona during the Spanish era) searching for the “lost cities of gold.” One of his first actions upon meeting the natives was to burn 100s of them alive in their dwellings, for not handing over suspected horse thieves. That is how Spain conquered the natives of the present US Southwest—not with hugs and kisses. It was certainly no love-fest between long-lost brown-skinned soul-mates, as it is often portrayed today by the delusional Aztlaners, who spin the “new bronze race of Mestizos” toro-mierda.

By 1821, Mexico City was strong enough to overthrow the even more decrepit and ineffectual Spanish rule. However, the distant provinces of the current U.S. Southwest were far beyond the reach of the authority of the independent but strife-torn government of Mexico City. These distant northern provinces received neither military protection nor needed levels of trade from the south. Under Spanish rule, trade with the USA was forbidden, but at least Spain provided trade and Army protection from hostile Indians. Under Mexican abandonment and neglect, the Southwest received neither trade nor protection from Mexico City.

For example, Comanches and Apaches ran rampant in the 1830s in this power vacuum created by Mexican neglect, burning scores of major ranches that had been active for hundreds of years and massacring their inhabitants. Mexico City could neither defend nor keep the allegiance of its nominal subjects in these regions. Nor did it provide needed levels of trade to sustain the prior Spanish-era standard of living. Mexican governmental influence atrophied, withered and died at the same time that American pathfinders were opening up new routes into the region.

Increasingly, a growing United States of America was making inroads into the Southwest, via ships into California, and via gigantic wagon trains of trade goods over the Santa Fe Trail from St. Louis. The standard of living of the SPANISH in these provinces subsequently increased enormously, which is why they did not support Mexico City in the 1846-48 war. In fact, the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the Southwest NEVER considered themselves “Mexicans” at all, ever. They went, in their own eyes, from SPANISH directly to AMERICAN. To this very day, if you want a punch in the nose, just call an Hispanic native of New Mexico a “Mexican!”

So how long did Mexico City have even nominal jurisdiction (in their eyes) over the American Southwest? For only 25 years, during which they had no effective control, and the area slipped backwards by every measure until the arrival of the Americans. The SPANISH inhabitants of the Southwest NEVER transferred their loyalty to Mexico City, because all they received from the chaotic Mexican government was misrule, neglect, and unchecked Indian raids.

Since then, how long has the area been under firm American control? For 150 continuous years, during which time the former Spanish inhabitants of the region, now American citizens, have prospered beyond the wildest dreams of the Mexicans still stuck in Mexico. To compare the infrastructure, roads, schools, hospitals etc of the two regions is to understand the truth. The Mexican government has been mired in graft, corruption, nepotism and chaos from the very start until today. The ordinary Mexican peons have been trampled and abused, while only the super-rich elites have thrived. This is why millions of Mexicans want to escape from Mexico today, to enjoy the benefits of living in America that they can never hope to obtain in Mexico.

And because today Mexico is a corrupt third-world pest-hole, (despite having more millionaires and billionaires than Great Britain), we are now supposed to let any Mexican from Chiapas, Michoacan or Yucatan march into the American Southwest, and make some “historical claim” of a right to live there?

From where does this absurd idea spring?

At what point in history did Indians and Mestizos from Zacatecas or Durango stake a claim on the American Southwest? Neither they nor their ancestors ever lived for one single day in the American Southwest. The Spanish living in the Southwest in 1846 stayed there, and became Americans by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. There were no Spanish inhabitants of the Southwest who were marched to the border and driven into Mexico. It didn’t happen. The SPANISH in the Southwest welcomed American citizenship, which brought stability, protection from Indian raids, and a vast increase in their standard of living with the increase in trade.

In summary, NO current inhabitants of Mexico have ANY claim on even one single inch of the Southwest!

NOT ONE citizen of Mexico is sneaking into the USA to reclaim property their ancestors were deprived of, NOT ONE.

They are criminal invaders and colonizers, pure and simple.

It’s time Americans learned the true history, as a counter to the prevalent Aztlaner fairy tales.

Can’t remember meeting a sane left winger since the first 8 years of the Clintoons!

I agree; Mexican flags do not incite peace.

And .. in case you haven’t heard, Hillary has stated she will erase Mexican border in her first 100 days.

Wait till Trump hears about this new info.
