CHAOS as Trump Rally of OVER 20,000 Overwhelms Small Alabama City;
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 28,2016 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 02/28/2016 9:03:22 AM PST by Hojczyk

The stadium has seating for 5,000 and has never held an event with over 8,000 attendees with parking for 1,000 vehicles. Maj. Jim Cooke with the Madison police told AL.com the huge expected crowd for the Trump rally is a logistics nightmare:

“I don’t think you could have picked a worse location for this number of people.

…I’m about as frustrated as I can get,” Cooke said. “I never imagined that I would be notified at 10 minutes after 5 on Thursday afternoon that we needed to plan for an event that takes three weeks to properly plan. We’ll figure it out. We’ve got a lot of great people here and we’ll do the best we can with the mission we’ve got.

“We’ve just never had that size of an event here before. Logistically, the way that’s laid out over there, I just can’t tell you what’s going to happen if a crowd of 20,000 people (shows up). I just don’t have a clue.”

Emergency arrangements are being made for satellite parking and shuttle buses to handle the enormous crowd.

WAAY-TV reported that roads are being closed and traffic rerouted to handle the car and pedestrian traffic.

Yeap! Agree! Can’t trust a man when the man causes such CHAOS! to unsuspecting individuals and organizations. Woe is us - the Hillary crowd would feel themselves fortunate to see such action

This will do the man in!

Cruz will probably say that Trump paid the mob to bring in all their friends.

I wish Free Republic had ‘Thumbs-up’ buttons because I would love to use it on some of these hilarious comments.

Hillary could probably draw crowds like that.

In Detroit and Dearbornistan and Benghazi.

....and San Quentin, Leavenworth, etc.

I had planned on attending this rally, but I decided to give it a pass last night.

We went to one of the two 10K rallies in MA. Got there at the time doors opened. Didn't regret it. The energy was amazing! Trump is very aware and in tune with the crowd, something you don't get a sense for when they only show his head and you can't see or hear the crowd. Didn't they move this one in AL today to a different venue?

Yes, it was moved because of the overflow.

I really wanted to go, but my wife can't go today. To be really honest, I'm concerned about driving home alone in the dark.

I have some night-blindness, and I hate to drive in the dark unless I'm very familiar with where I am.

It's two hours or so for me one way on unfamiliar roads.

> Hillary could probably draw crowds like that.

The Waffle House that hosted one of her Iowa speeches got crowded. She inconveniently did it at lunch time and a few people had to wait a few minutes to be seated - you could see from the picture of “the huge crowd”.

It looked like all the lanes were free at Hillary’s speech at the bowling alley but they didn’t show a picture of “the huge crowd” so it’s hard to tell if there was any inconvenience.

C’mon Beany, Lighten up. Why so defensive about shots at Donut eating whiny cops? Do you hang with them at Crispy Cream during your mandated public union government “rest” breaks, from your grueling day counting government beans?

You’ve hit it People just want someone on their side. For a change. The way I see it, the proposition is secure borders but there will be some form of national health care. That appears to be the center of Trump’s campaign. And the reason Trump will win is because if he can do national health care like Switzerland or The Netherlands and drop healthcare spending from almost 20% of GDP to around 12%, while also securing borders, he’s in. Wish it was different, wish the guy was more conservative, but until Republicans get off their asses and out of the think tanks and into communities, they’re just fighting rear guard actions from here to eternity. What they have to offer works, but it doesn’t get beyond the ta!king heads because groups like Heritage are for thinkers, not doers.

Yes. Trump DOES love our country and hates Gope and Trade deals and immigration which they have used to almost destroy the country.

That is why we overlook, bragging, hubris, three wives, lack of specifics, rude remarks abd on and on. Sessions, Gingrich, Christie as advosors. Manly testosterone and polite first lady. He is our best chance to rid ourselves of our enimies within.
