Yeah. It’s regrettable that leftards across America can operate so freely. That is truly regrettable.
I agree.
He should tell the cities he doesn’t need their police at his rallies if they are just going to sit there and watch violence occur.
Tell the police to “stand down” at home (without pay) and hire out some real riot trained security people who will actually do their job.
I think the mayor is of Italian descent.
Trump has a golden opportunity now.
I know it would be expensive but he could hire private security to escort women and children,elderly and handicapped people out of his rallies to their cars (and more security along the exit routes).
He can say the police and mayors have shown that they will not protect their citizens so he has decided to take action himself.
It isn't. The BLM situations were mostly outside agitators, sometimes ginning up the locals. "Downtown" is very safe and isolated from the residential east and west sides. The exception was when the original BLM protests (mostly outside agitators) were allowed to run amuck. It seems to have been "lesson learned". Add to that, Cleveland residents have very acute awareness that conventions, tourists, and major sports/entertainment events bring in lots of revenue.
I was "downtown", just this past Thursday. Took an RTA bus, went to the casino, Rock Hall, to the Cavs gift shop for shirt. Walked everywhere. It was safe, relaxing, and very friendly. Things are still being spruced up. It looks like the city will be in great shape.
What they (or anyone else) can't be ready for is the unknown consequences of paid thugs who've been allowed to run amuck during primary season and with BLM and LaRaza protests.
Yeah, I'll defend my adopted city. Have you been to Cleveland in the past few years? It surprises most people who had preconceived notions.
> I’ve never understood why Republicans chose Cleveland for their convention.
Probably because of that $%#@! Boehner.
I see this Mayor, this Democrat party Mayor standing on a tabletop screaming to his party peers “look at me, look at me, see what I did. I am a Democrat party man all the way. I want to be one of the BIG boys in the party”.
It’s a typical Democrat stepping on humanity to be noticed, and elevated in position, and prestige within the Democrat party. Self serving opportunist.
Like rats in a cage Democrats consume one another to be King.
wow I skimmed the mayor’s FB page and saw nothing but harsh critical comments.... not that he will really care, but the tally is about 1000 to 0 against him! Too bad that San Jose is such a leftist cesspool that there is no chance of replacing this turd with someone better.
"Sir,
Have you no shame?!?! The people attending that Donald Trump rally, held in your city last Thursday, have a Constitutional Right to peaceably assemble! They were denied that right by being verbally and physically attacked by a feral mob of degenerates outside the venue, and you allowed it to happen! You then had the nerve to blame the victims for the attacks?! Please do not attempt to justify that mob's criminality by citing Mr. Trump's "inflammatory hate speech" or whatever terms you choose. I could easily cite far more vile examples of that type of speech from groups such as Black Lives Matter and La Raza, who openly threaten the lives of individuals for nothing more than the color of their skin! You sir are a disgrace to your office and utterly negligent in protecting the rights of the people of your community. You are a very poor excuse for a mayor, no better than the animals rioting at that rally. You and your coward police chief should be forcibly removed from office and brought up on charges of criminal negligence. Your failure to act on behalf of peaceful citizens attending a political rally has left me with the impression that your city, no, your entire state, is nothing more than a place of uncontrolled savagery which I intend to avoid ever to step foot in out of concern for my safety. I certainly wouldn't want to live in a place like that if this is the type of governance you people practice. Admit your negligence and resign from office. You obviously have no intention of upholding your oath to the people of your city.
I remain your opposition,
An American Patriot
PS: I suppose now that I've dared to express my opinion of how you perform your duty, I'll soon find myself the subject of some kind of FBI investigation or IRS audit. So be it. After all, this is the kind of country your politics has created."
I would love to see the e-mail accounts of the organizers of the protest and that of the mayoral staff. I am sure it would paint a interesting picture.
He might be able to sue the city for the cost.
So typical of democrats to blame the victims instead of their violent paid protesters. These people make me sick.
that’s funny. sad, but funny.
Trump should sue the RAT-scum down to his underwear, and properly distribute the settlement proceeds to "the mayor's" victims.
Looks a lot like the one I sent! Speaking the truth is something we’ve become afraid of...until Trump.
"His maternal ancestors were among the first Mexican settlers in the Bay Area, and his maternal grandmother emigrated from Ireland."
Never happen. Nothing ever happens to these people.
Ah, good point.
It seems to me that the only "gauntlet" the Trump attendees need to pass through is one of volunteers (BIG ONES preferred) who will line the exit route, facing the mob, all armed with wasp spray and batons.
