Agreed. We are Americans who value the First Amendment. We won’t do what this trash did, but I don’t for an instant believe this was all left wing. Especially not after that meeting of idiots from the GOPe the other day.

I think it will be quite telling who comes out and defends Trump’s right to his First Amendment right to a peaceful rally whether they oppose him or not. So far the silence is deafening among so called conservatives and other candidates.

There could be an interesting dynamic today, with rallies in Dayton and Cleveland. Kasich as governor has to provide state resources to help with crowd control. I don’t think it will get out of control, not from many Ohioans anyway. There’s too much cultural memory of Kent State and the 1970s riots Cleveland still hasn’t totally recovered from. If it gets beyond the scope of what local police can handle, Kasich’s going to take the blame if he doesn’t step in and defend First Amendment rights of legitimate rally-goers.
