LATROBE, Pa. — A crowd of about 7,000 people gathered at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe Thursday night to watch President Donald Trump’s speech ahead of the November elections.

The airport estimated that 5,000 people were on the field and inside the event -- with an extra 2,000 surrounding the airport and 900 of those estimated to be sitting in the hangar when the president spoke.

Thousands of people were shuttled in, standing to watch Trump’s 90 minute speech. The majority of those in attendance were not wearing face masks or within six feet of each other, so why was it allowed to go on?

Gabe Monzo, executive director of the airport, told Channel 11 his staff of about 20 handled logistics of the event -- not mitigation measures.

The governor should have sent in the state police to arrest them all, confine them (for public safety, of course) to camps where they could learn hard work (12 hours a day), respect for their betters and strict obedience to the orders of the governor, all on 600 calories a day.

Trump Rallies are peaceful protests, state and local officials must respect the peaceful protestors.

Hey governor ... Asking permission would have been a tacit admission that permission was required — which it isn’t.

That’s why I didn’t ask for your permission to take a dump this morning.

You are so right. The hypocrisy is really unbelievable through this with some of the Governors and it is very annoying.

If these are peaceful protests then where are the marquee burnings, lootings and murders? Without them they are simply violations of the governor's wise orders. Off with them to the camps! And 600 calories per person per day for all of them!

Easier to ask forgiveness, rather than permission.

“Trump rally organizers didn’t get permission to break Pa. outdoor capacity limits, Gov. Wolf’s office says.” The president doesn't fall under state laws. When he is in an area, the CIA takes control of the area and relieves the state from responsibility of protection. 18 U.S. Code § 1752 (a)Whoever— (2)knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions, engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions; The punishment for a violation of subsection (a) is— (1)a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both... And that includes state personnel or their law enforcement. rwood

So, is Wolfbane gonna arrest them all, or just shut down the airport, costing numerous jobs?

So all those PA voters sat home in 2013 just because Corbett signed a gas tax increase into law.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!

(And yes, I’m aware that my own governor sucks too.)

Freedom of speech, and the right of the people peaceably to assemble. Our permission is the First Amendment, that and God’s Word.
