There are severe laws on the books that make what happened to Trump in Chicago and other places illegal. See #1 below.
Then, there are severe laws for those involved in conspiracies against political events. So DNC rectums sitting in front of their computers organizing and ordering actions like what has happened to Trump in the past weeks could find themselves facing severe fines and jail time.
Mediots on TV and hired pundits on the internet pushing or dog whistling violence against Trump and Trump supporter are guilty. See #2 below.
#1: For one thing, the law makes it easier for the government to criminalize protest. Period. It is a federal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison to protest anywhere the Secret Service might be guarding someone. For another, its almost impossible to predict what constitutes disorderly or disruptive conduct or what sorts of conduct authorities deem to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.
#2: There is another interesting Code/law that applies the conspiracy/violation of peaceful assembly and free speech.
18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; ....
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

Yet again we say, “LOCK HER UP!!!!!!” ;)
Agree with every word Grampa, but you’re forgetting that we are presently a lawless society.
Who’s going to pursue these matters? Obama’s Department of Justus?
