It is a crime, punishable by imprisonment, to "knowingly impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions" in locations guarded by the Secret Service, including places where individuals under Secret Service protection are temporarily located.

In other words, because Trump was assigned Secret Service protection back in November, it's a crime punishable by imprisonment to protest at his campaign rallies. Free speech doesn't apply at these rallies because protests are considered "knowingly impeding or disrupting the orderly conduct" of an "official function." Until his Secret Service protection is revoked (if it ever is), Trump can lawfully kick protesters out of his rallies no matter what they do.

Why isn't this mentioned every time someone has to be kicked out of a Trump Rally? If those protestors weren't there illegally in the first place, they wouldn't have to be roughed up and kicked out. Trump should demand that every other candidate denounce illegal activities at all of their respective rallies.

So the anti-Trump protesters have been the ones breaking the law all along at his previous rallies and certainly violated all kinds of Constitutional rights last night.

You don't see Trump supporters breaking the law like this.

The fact that these protests have been illegal all along (and thus Trump has every right to have the law-breakers kicked out by force) and the GOPe candidates have sided with the Chicago thugs makes Cruz, Rubio and Kasich all the more revolting.

Cruz will say that this law has no application with Trump, because Trump encouraged the lawbreaking.

And without consulting the statute, I’m going to guess it’s illegal to physically attack a secret service protected candidate.

It’s scary that not one station says these leftists have to stop, instead it’s 100% “Trump bears responsibility”.

We definitely now know who the enemy is. And there are a lot more than most realized. The gop is in bed with the lefties and they’d just as soon see us all dead.

A political rally isn’t a government function.

..”knowingly impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions...

A stump speech by a candidate running in a primary held by a political party doesn’t seem to qualify as orderly conduct of government business or an ‘’Official function’’.. Political parties are not part of the government.

“Rent-A-Violent Mob!”

These are paid, professional agitators!

Those of us who remember the “Porta-Potty” wars encountered them many times during the Clinton years.

They are nasty, dirty, profane people whose sole intent is to create chaos and mayhem.

They need to be put down! Hard!

Trump supporters do not invade the rallies of other candidates.

Trump should talk non stop while the other three children are replying to questions at the next debate and see how the little boys react.

"knowingly impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions"

A political rally is not government business nor an official government function.
