At Donald Trump Rally in North Carolina, the Protesters Just Keep Coming
New York Times ^ | 12/5/2015 | Nick Corasnaiti

RALEIGH, N.C. - The calls for "Security!" rang out through the crowd near the podium 15 minutes before the event even began.

Loud boos poured down from the rafters of the cavernous arena, as three police officers quickly descended on the man with a long ponytail wearing a brown hoodie, who walked out peacefully.

That early escort, for what other attendees described as rude behavior, set the tone for one of the most protest-riddled campaign rallies held yet by Donald J. Trump. More than two dozen people were escorted from the event at Dorton Arena here for various forms of protest, causing the candidate to stop his stump speech about 10 times until the shouts and boos subsided.

The protesters came armed with various chants and signs. Two women who brought red signs reading "Stop the hate. We make America great" were quickly confronted as they began shouting. A female Trump supporter standing nearby grabbed the signs, ripped them up and threw them on the ground.

"If I wasn't afraid of getting in trouble, I would have pulled their hair or I would have punched them, but I don't want to get in trouble," the woman, who declined to give her name, said after the event.

Whatever causes liberals to become unhinged, is generally something that would be a good thing for America.

Look at that crowd!

Thousands upon thousands of Trump supporters at the rally, and the NYT has to pretend like the only people there were the BLM/Occutard crowd.

You can smell the fear.

Yeah, just look at those upstanding people. Probably many are not even citizens. All just democrats, illegals, and muzzies. All scum.

Any reason for posting an article with a 12/5/15 dateline?

For every protestor that came, it looks like about 500 Trump supporters came.

The NYT thinks they were illusions, and the protestors were real.

Compare and contrast this photo with the old photos of the Kerry “rallies”. Union thugs beating up children and cripples.

Yup. It is all organized. I’ll wager almost all of these people are professional agitators.

And they will target whoever the Republicans nominate. The Republican nominee will be painted as a racist, sexist, out-of-touch White male. Even Carly.

Tootsie, you were removed for your own safety. If you had continued being a disruptor, the crowd would have eventually beat you to a pulp.

After suffering for 8 years under a member of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s congregation, why would anyone be surprised that Americans see Trump as a self defense vote?
