Trump vows to pay legal fees of supporters who 'knock the crap' out of tomato-throwers.
Donald Trump got word from his security detail in Cedar Rapids on Monday that there could be someone in the audience with tomatoes -- so Trump reportedly decided to go ahead and take precautions.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them," Trump urged his supporters. Were anyone to feel concern about being prosecuted for assault in such a scenario, Trump reassured that, "I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees."

Well, one of my choices is to vote for a GOP candidate who’s not prone to inciting violence among his supporters, a choice I will definitely exercise by never voting for Donald Trump.
Should he by some strange happenstance actually become the GOP nominee, I’m confident that a strong 3rd party candidate will emerge. Too many people simply can’t stand the man’s childish behavior and his brutish way of dealing with those he simply disagrees with.
Quit going against the grain.
Succotash. I haven’t figured it out yet, but there’s a joke in there somewhere.
Stop stalking me!
I think it’s great. Why do the posters here fall back on the PC position? girly-men!
Trump stopped any tomato throwing with that little announcement. Problem solved.
a real man!
(sigh)
Where have you all gone?
704.3 Defense of self or another. A person is justified in the use of reasonable force when the person reasonably believes that such force is necessary to defend oneself or another from any imminent use of unlawful force.
So when you and your obvious (insert candidate name here) supporters, along with the MSM successfully eliminate Trump from the election equation and the Trump and other candidate supporters, along with the MSM successfully discredit YOUR guy and eliminate him from the election equation, who's left for you to support?
As I've said time and time again, the PURISTS in our party are our own worst enemy and are solely responsible for the election of Obama.............
Perfect! LOL!
“Too many people are becoming so sissified these days that they get the vapors when someone talks strongly....even in metaphors. “
Exactly.
When CWII starts, these people will NOT be playing the part of our founding fathers, that’s for sure!
“Trump’s Tomato Diplomacy”
;)
Got you reading law books now?
Look up “reasonable force” next and see how close it sounds to “knocking the crap out of someone.”
I suspect that if you break a guy’s jaw for brandishing a tomato, you’re going to end up on the losing end in court. By the way, did Trump say he was going to pay any judgement against you too, or just the legal fees? Better check on that before landing that punch.
Well, I’ll certainly grant you this: The PURISTS in the GOP are certainly not going to give us Trump. Thanks for pointing out that supporting Trump marks one as someone who doesn’t share conservative values. I couldn’t agree more, by the way.
What’s hilarious is all these macho guys being led around by a childish crybaby who calls his lawyers every time he doesn’t get his way.
Ordinarily, they’d be tying someone like that to a raft and giving the raft a shove into the stream....above the rapids.
I have not said ONE NASTY work to ANYONE ON THIS SITE ever!!!!! I stand up for who I believe in and you call that bullcrap?
You can go all the way back to when I joined in 2000 when I joined and look at EVERY SINGLE POST and I’ve never said a indecent thing to anyone....... EVER!!
What I want to know is Trump also going to serve any jail time the person might get. I could go with that.
He sure likes to throw money away.
I’m not for Trump but, good for him.
The only way to end violence is with violence.
That he puts his money on the line is appropriate.
You can put an eye out or cause a concussion, worse, that person can fall during a fruit melee and suffer brain damage or death.
the PURISTS in our party are our own worst enemy and are solely responsible for the election of Obama
So who stayed home and didn't vote?
amen
but purist being purist are only interested in their own self righteous self esteem and won’t be bothered with truth
Give up, man. You are beaten.
