And if the club owner at your mythical baseball game grabbed the mic from the announcer and said that somebody needs to punch the offender in the face and that the offender needs to be carried out on a stretcher, don't you think the owner would bear some responsibility for the resulting violence? Be honest.
So chill out about Trump!
What is it with you Trump people? All I did was post a video of what the man actually said and you Trumpbots have gone berserk. You people are acting like mooslims: Chill out about Mohammad or I kill you!!!!!!
No.
If the club owner wanted the guy punched in the face, he should do it himself.
Every adult in this country knows you are responsible for your own actions.
I asked for honesty. Obviously I’m not going to get it.
You asked for honesty. What you want is validation.
Why didn’t you just ask if those jeans make you look fat?
Like I said.............
AND you will never have to...that's what makes the U.S. great.
But...who, besides you, really gives a crap about who you do or do not support!!
In Russia or China, maybe. Last time I checked here, we still have the First Amendment.
Inciting violence is a felony, regardless of the context.
You are no doubt a liberal. You cannot go into a funtion and protest and disrupt activities.
All Trump needs to do and he is within his rights is advise police he will press charges.
You also cannot do this at an event that the person has Secret Service protection.
Go back to DU, thanks for playing.
If you are looking for Cruz, to clarify his statements on the organized leftists protests, he did so on Sunday:
Meet the Press - March 13, 2016
SEN. TED CRUZ:
Well, let's be clear. Listen, the protesters have no right to engage in violence. They have no right to threaten violence. And these protesters, whether it's Black Lives Matter or Bernie Sanders protestors who are coming in just trying to shout down any speaker, that's not free speech. The First Amendment gives you a right to speak, but it doesn't give you a right to silence others.
So the protesters are behaving abusively and wrong. But, at the end of the day in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. And it is not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump telling his supporters, "Punch that guy in the face."
If what Trump is doing is so bad then he will not win the nomination and Cruz should be happy, but it does not seem to be working that way.
“First Amendment. “
That doesn’t give you the right to disturb the peace with it. Other people have rights, too. You should have been taught at a young age that you may have the right to speak but not at all times or in all places. Self discipline is lacking with the liberals.
Again, that’s nonsense. Stopping an attack is basically self defense, and I don’t care what they are throwing. He didn’t say beat them to a bloody pulp, he said “knock the hell outta them”.
That’s not inciting violence no matter how hard you try to spin it.
If your narrative were in fact true, Mr. Trump would have been arrested and charged by now for inciting violence. Especially since he’s running as a Republican and is so despised by the current “powers that be”.
“My point is there is a reason why Cruz doesn’t get mobbed “
Exactly, Cruz hasn’t, so trying to compare the results to Trump who has been mobbed is childish.
“If” is for children.
Please post a link or video that has Mr. Trump stating “Punch that guy in the face”.
All I’ve been able to reference is when he said he’d (Trump) like to punch that guy in the face.
It sounds to me like Cruz may be exaggerating or outright lying.
I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you.
So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK, just knock the hell. I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise.
Donald Trump Says He Doesn't Condone Violence. Footage Says Otherwise.
Yes, and the paraphrasing is intended to imply that Mr. Trump was inciting violence when in fact that was not the case, as I stated above.
As I stated above, why hasn’t Mr. Trump been arrested and charged with “Inciting Violence”?
Also as I stated above, the statement he made is not inciting violence, but basically a “self defense” statement, otherwise he would be facing charges, would he not?
Childish?
I was not addressing the question of how Cruz would respond if a mob were to show up, although I expect he would do so a damn sight better than Trump.
I was addressing cause and effect. Namely, how does boorish behavior escalate into worse behavior.
Please give your “mature” insight into the topic.
Geez this is frustrating!
I have not been a Trump supporter throughout the entire primaries, but here I am totally disgusted with Cruz, Rubio and pantywaist Kasich.
These morons are too stupid to be president if they cannot recognize that these organized leftist idiots are going to get Trump elected and blaming this disorder on Trump is a complete losing tactic.
