Ok, everyone disagrees, no worries.

I would never want him to stop being Trump.
I would never want the speech to be too close to a terror attack or the Convention.
This is in reference to the BLM / cop killing incidents, not Islamic terror.

The number one problem in inner cities is decivilization, period. I guess I’m the only one who feels that it would be very good to expect MORE CIVILIZATION from American citizens, not the bigotry of low expectations going on today where we allow people to rut and attack like animals.

The number one problem in our country, inner cities and elsewhere, is a mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion central government that threatens to take away all of our freedoms and opportunities. Dismantling the $4 trillion government before it dismantles us is TOP PRIORITY.

Freedom, will follow - and a free society is a civil society.

The problem with your suggestion is the other side doesn’t play by the same rules or hold themselves to the same standards. And the media is hardly an impartial witness. So, all you suggest is effectively handicapping our side while the other side and the media run roughshod all over us. That’s happened since Reagan. Our side fights Marquis of Queensbury, the other side fights guerilla warfare. Trump doesn’t play by those rules, and we shouldn’t ask him.

I think you're hoping that the more we either behave or talk about "civility" to folks (like the BLM agitators) so they'll understand that that is what we want - not escalated violence such as is going on now.

Unfortunately, that's like trying to talk to a tiger ready to lunge and kill you for dinner.

From time to time, in our local community after a particularly offensive drive by shooting, people gather for a prayer and/or candle light vigil asking for an "end to the killing."

It's promoted all over TV but it is viewed by two groups that either can't or won't do anything about it: suburban whites who've never participated in a drive by shooting in their lives and wouldn't ever commit such a senseless act; and black drug king lords who don't tolerate getting 'dissed so commit drive by shootings daily!
