Many voices are calling for calm in the wake of yesterday's mob violence at a Trump rally in San Jose, California.
John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, has come out and condemned the actions of left-wing agitators. The New York Times reports that Pedestal has stated that "Violence against supporters of any candidate has no place in this election."
However, not everyone all voices are calling for cooler heads to prevail.
Emmett Rensin, an editor at left-wing Vox.com, is one such voice. Rensin has not only failed to condemn the violence, he is explicitly calling for more of it.

Congrats, Buck. You should be proud!
This has to stop. While Trump benefits and wins as more Americans see what Democrats are doing—rioting, violence, burning the American flay, why raising the Mexican flag—it is destructive to the country. Democrats need to think carefully what they are doing and the consequences. Clinton, Sanders, and all Democrats, legal and illegal, own this, not Trump. They cannot lay this at Trump’s doorstep.
Perfect description of mohammedans.
But you're talking about leftists. (Perfect description of them, too.)
Someone should hold him responsible if anyone gets hurt or killed during one of these riots he’s called for.
We need the Boondock Saints to deliver some justice.

What we saw in San Jose was terrorism defined by the FBI...
Terrorism:
The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.
Hillary studied the Saul Alinsky rules and she lives by them, this is part of the terrorism we are seeing today with what happens to the Trump rallies...
Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals
Here is the complete list from Alinsky.
* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
* RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
In a strange sort of way, this might be not the worst thing that could happen. Everyone is at least somewhat afraid that the conventions could be “party like it’s 1968”, only with everyone armed and more people who have zero respect for authority. Since it’s gotten out of hand, there has to be some consensus about how to deal with unruly anarchists and paid protestors. It that doesn’t happen, there could be a Summer of Violence that gets totally out of control.
The balloon is going up, this is going to be bad.

Smash Emmett’s computer then while screaming in his ear. Hey, its legitimate. ;-)

(A record 94,708,000 Americans were not in the labor force in May -- 664,000 more than in April)....rife for enemies of Freedom to strike using the election as a front. Put anyone in leadership who is enforcing this mess with their voices, put them in jail. Pouring inflammatory rhetoric on this mess, is criminal and must be stopped. Call out the law enforcers whoever they are in every state. America is being abused by Socialist/Marxist and a leaderless Oval Office....which has poured gas on this situation also. Obama should be Impeached!
I’ve been wondering about that very thing. I’ve always read that Ernst Roehm was murdered during the “Night of the Long Knives” in the 1930’s. His minions seem to have surfaced here in the USA. Of course, they are not wearing the uniform BROWN SHIRTS, but we sure are seeing his followers.
They must think it is time to come out of the shadows.
I knew it was only going to get worse.
These people are in a tailspin. Underneath the belligerence lies a fragility; they are essentially cracking up.
Just wait until the conventions. They’re going to make San Jose look like a playground fight.

By the 1990s the better part of the working class wanted nothing to do with the word liberal.
What remained of the American progressive elite was left to puzzle: Why did they abandon us?
What's the matter with Kansas?
The trouble is that stupid hicks don't know what's good for them. They're getting conned by right-wingers and tent revivalists until they believe all the lies that've made them so wrong. They don't know any better. That's why they're voting against their own self-interest.
“Many voices are calling for calm in the wake of yesterday’s mob violence at a Trump rally in San Jose, California.”
In public they say that, but in private, they must be giving high fives.
They pretty much have helped the Donald get elected with these riots.
Rioters should be shot.
Not so much by cops but by ordinary citizens they are actually threating. I’ve had leftist say that that will only invigorate those who just saw their “brothers” or “sister” shot ... but that’s just bravado.
These people don’t believe folks they choose to menace (and it is THEIR choice to engage in violence against peaceable folks) will stand up to them and defend themselves or their property. If they did they wouldn’t riot. It’s why they don’t riot in places where they suspect folks will (States like Oklahoma or Texas) but in places like California where they have a history of not defending themselves, or even bein sympathetic to the rioters.
It’s really simple: if we want to endure endless rioting nitwits we act scared when they come at us ... we don’t want to see riots we bury them when they riot.
By choosing to riot and hurt others, their choice that no one forced on them, they have taken their own lives in their hands, and their blood will be on their own hands. Screw them.
I believe his statements constitute ‘Incitement to Riot’ and is a crime. Plus he may be in for some really sever lawsuits if damages or injuries or God forbid, fatalities occur....................What a stupid moron............................
There’s self-interest then there’s simply doing the right thing.
California, sadly, is lost. The only way to fix it is to not only physically remove every single illegal but to also revoke all anchor baby citizenships. Neither of which will happen even though it’s the right thing to do.
