So, suppressing your opposition through violence is OK when your guy does it, but bad when the opposition does it?

Okee dokee. Good luck with that!

You are no doubt a liberal.

First you do not have a right to protest inside a rally to prevent a speaker from speaking.

You do have a right to protest outside as long as you don’t block means of access.

You’re a liberal troll no doubt, thanks for playing

What are you going to say when they target Cruz? He has engaged in their version of hate speech so he should be silenced too.

No, he is a coward and so are you. It may just be that violence is the answer for these animals.

Trump has never condoned violence. But Cruz gave license to mob violence against Trump and your fellow conservatives. Literally justifying their violence against us. You have become very twisted up if you can condone that despicable act in any way.

Where are all the White Supremacist rioters at Bernie and Hillary (and Ben Carson) events?

Liar.

Trump has never “suppressed his opposition through violence.” All of his rallies have areas for protestors to express whatever they want to their hearts’ content. He rents the venues themselves, however, to hold rallies for his supporters. There is an announcement before each of his rallies that protestors will be escorted out and that no one should harm them. Protestors are trespassing on a private event paid for personally by Trump. If you won’t let Black Lives Matter folks protest in your home, does that mean you are suppressing people with opposing views or simply that they have chosen an illegal place to protest?

Beyond that, the first “martyr” protestor from the Birmingham rally last year, admitted in an interview I read that he punched a Trump supporter in the face. Then, as we see on the video, he struggled like crazy when the cops tried to lead him out. You want us to interpret that brawl as violence against him alone. I will admit, there is evidence that one woman was pushed and one young man was punched by an almost 80-year-old man.

It is interesting that you would see those two isolated incidents involving an infinitesimal fraction of Trump’s total rally audience members as just as bad as thousands of radical leftists stopping a presidential candidate from exercising his free speech rights, not to mention the two protestors who were caught on film taking swings at Trump supporters or the one who gashed a cop’s head with a glass bottle. An interesting moral equivalence.

False equivalence, of course...in the case of each, the disrupters came to our rallies and tried to shut us up.

Mere technicality in your mind?
