If trump didn’t throw out the bait the anarchists would be protesting somewhere else. When you tell a crowd you feel like punching a protester in the face, protesters are going to take that as a challenge. All sides bear responsibility.

Nope.
I state on many occasions that I would have no problem shooting someone who attempting to harm me or my family.
Is that an invitation to be raped or mugged?
Nope. It’s a warning not to dare try.

OWS, BLM, etc., etc., this President has been desperately trying to rally and incite violence to push his agenda further left and nobody has taken the bait.

Tonight hasn’t changed anything.

Actually, tonight’s violence would have happened no matter what Trump said. In fact, it still would have happened if Donald Trump were not the front runner and instead Ted Cruz or Ben Carson were in Chicago tonight. These people were paid to protest the GOP front runner no matter who he may be.

Do you also blame Sarah Palin for the Arizona shooting in 2011?

Gotta disagree. I'll bet most of the protesters don't even know about that punch comment.

The MSM has been relentless, they've been painting Trump as a racist and a Nazi for some time now. And that lie has been repeated in student unions and leftist meetings. That's what has motivated most of those protesters.

What was the "bait"? I honestly have no idea. This was sheer thuggery. I'm not a fan of the Trump, but he has a right to speak and hold rallies inside buildings he rented.

Unless I misread something, Cruz's comments about "shared responsibilty" is really bogus. The only people responsible for this are the goons who deliberately disrupted the rally.

Yes your right. Bill Ayers who was a member of the Weather Underground and tried to kill police was protesting Trump tonight. Trump caused him to be there. Trump provoked Bill Ayers. Savage Rider your reasoning is impeccable.

Clagary Ted? Is that you?

If trump didn’t throw out the bait

These thuggish left-wing groups are organized violent anarchists. NO ONE has done anything, ever, to deserve to be "protested" – harassed, intimidated, injured, molested – by them. Not a single person, entity, business, city, event that these feral creatures descend upon has caused their own harassment.

No one "threw out the bait."

These Soros-funded demons are assigned targets to further their power goals and evil agenda.

In other words, you – and your comrade Ted Cruz – are full of it.

Really? Really? You sound like you have been brainwashed partway into the PC/Metro-Sexual/The Thug Has His Reasons group.

Whatever happened to the the stalwart ones who might be heard to say things like, "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" folks?

You sound like those who actually tried to blame Benghazi on a video.
