Has Cruz blamed Trump yet?

He's waiting for coded instructions from his philosophical wellspring, George Soros.

In the Middle Ages, knights rode horses trained to kick and rear to fight with their front hooves on command. I would not want to be a foot soldier trying to unhorse a knight.

There was a weapon especially designed to cripple a horse and bring him down, but you had to get close enough to get kicked first.

I assume you keyed in on the phrase "street rats and disrupters".

Non-violent protest should be monitored, as in someone should keep an eye on them to ensure they are neither intimidating anyone else or being intimidated.

But as soon as the crowd starts to transition to intimidation or outright violence, they need to be stopped in the least lethal manner practical.

The crowd examples you cite are rarely disruptive, and therefore the situations they are in should merely be monitored - for their own safety, as well as others.

No I focused you your earlier desire to "disperse the crowd" with pepper spray and tear gas. Those crowds, however much we may disagree with their position, have a right to be there as long as they do it peacefully.

Actually, I’m not the poster you replied to.

The phrase “disperse the crowd” is used both before and after the crowd becomes violent or physically intimidating.

We agree - nonviolent protest must be allowed. Violent or physically intimidating (i.e.: the threat of violence) disruption does not have to be allowed.

Disruptors who were pepper sprayed are believed to be Bernie Sanders supporter.

Kinda gives new meaning to “Feel the Bern” doesn’t it. ;)
