A writer for the Huffington Post is defending his recent op-ed that "a violent response” is the “logical” approach to stopping presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Jesse Benn wrote in the op-ed titled “Sorry Liberals, A Violent Response To Trump Is As Logical As Any,” posted on Monday, “[T]here’s an inherent value in forestalling Trump’s normalization. Violent resistance accomplishes this.”
"These denunciations of violence from anti-Trump protestors rest on the misguided view that the divide Trump’s exposed is a typical political disagreement between partisans, and should be handled as such.," he wrote. "This couldn’t be further from the truth. Trump might not be a fascist in the 20th century European sense of the term—though many of his supporters are—but he might represent its 21st century US version."
"Violent resistance matters. Riots can lead to major change," Benn wrote. "It’s not liberal politicians or masses that historians identify as the spark underlying the modern movement for LGBTQ equality. Nor was it a think piece from some smarmy liberal writer. It was the people who took to the streets during the Stonewall Uprising."(continued)

So what would be a logical response to their violence? The author should consider the consequences of his statement.
Mr./Ms. Benn should be very careful what he/she/it wishes for.
The left has always had a very romanticized vision of violence, plus they have people like Soros who will actually fund such violence, and pay the bail and court costs for those engaging in violence. You’ll notice that after video of the mobs attacking Trump supporters in San Jose became public, dems and their media minions started talking about the violence actually helping Trump, I heard very few actually speak out against violence in an honest way. That is also why “the judge” controversy has been played up so much, as a distraction from the violence. The left (dems) don’t want the violence to stop, if anything they want to ramp it up, and then distract people from it with some new “controversy.”

So what would be a “logical” response to this reporter’s article?
I love it, the left is finally exposing themselves as the true haters, who have a proclivity to resort to violence as their first course of action.
That's right, Jesse. That's exactly right. Except not in the way you think. Because when people see shits like you rioting, they vote for Trump.
So you're either really really clever, or really really stupid.
Has there ever been a leftist revolution that didn’t endorse violence as the prime means of accomplishment?
Ok, remember this, if a REPORTER comes near me in any way carrying ANYTHING, I am going to BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THEM right in front of God and Everybody for “PROVOKING” me with a Microphone or Camera.
“That’s right, Jesse. That’s exactly right. Except not in the way you think. Because when people see shits like you rioting, they vote for Trump.’
They also shoot back. The MSM does not seem to understand that they have lost control of the message.
The sorriest, most pathetic thing in the world is a person who thinks he/she is brilliant and is actually too dumb to realize how dumb he/she is.
“”This couldn’t be further from the truth. Trump might not be a fascist in the 20th century European sense of the term—though many of his supporters are—but he might represent its 21st century US version.”
In other words, the fascists are declaring that fascists dont have a right to free speech and assembly.
I guess, using his own logic, mind you, is...
To beat the $h1t out of him.
Hmmm...

This would be true if ALL of America agreed with the protest, and the Elite were running it. Of course, this is not true, More Republicans than at any time in recorded history, both in person, and in the ballot box, have voted for, and support Donald Trump.
These are the folks that normally do not speak up, I said normally. They are also the folks that normally do not fight back, note, I said normally.
These are not every day voters protesting against Trump, they are paid agitators, that stir the pot, and get the heck out when they have thrown the first punch and started the brawl.
Tech savvy folks are videotaping them, know who they are, and are ready to fight back, only the agitators will not be running anywhere, they will be carried to the cops or an ambulance. Fair warning, its all over the internet. The Trump supporters will not provoke violence, but if they come at them, they will be resoundingly stopped.
Huffinpuff Post is a Democrat rag, and they and the MSM are telling you what they want you to hear, not the truth. The truth is in the videos.
Now that Hildabeast is the democrat nominee, and Bernie has been scolded into submission by Obummer, the line has been drawn in the illusory sand. Trump won’t be responsible for what happens to those violent protestors, but they will be receiving a different response in kind, from now on IMO.
The change will be immediate and hopefully instructional. But we will see if the talk is the same as the walk.
Than the logical response to violence is self defense. Air conditioning if you will. A fine red mist to cool them off.
So violence at rallies is the “new normal”? What is this, Baghdad?
“Occupy Wall Street” comes to town, and targets those it perceives to be the “adults”.
My money is on he sh**$ himself before he gets beat.
